Edit: Remove Background doesn't allow to save with transparency

[The Scott Valentine]

In the Edit module, there is an option to remove the background. This appears to only enable replacing the background rather than allowing a transparent background to be saved. When downloading, it's already a PNG instead of a JPG, so it seem that the intent was to enable a cutout function.

For this to be really useful to Express, we need to be able to send over a subject with a transparent background. Otherwise the feature is pretty much useless.

Please enable downloading of a PNG with the background removed.

@The Scott Valentine that is not currently possible in Firefly however, it is a highly voted-for idea. Please add your vote to this post: P: Trasnparent background or layers

Done - thank you! It's easy enough to d/l the full image and do the work in PS directly, but it seems odd that the main Firefly d/l is JPG, but after using the Edit features you get a PNG with a different file name.

This is so maddening! I want the AI foreground without the AI background and it's RIGHT THERE on the screen...but then there's apparently no way of A) saving this as a transparent png or B) making it at least fill the background with a solid colour fill that's easy to remove (even with a prompt like "featureless clear blue sky" I still get some AI 'creativity' going on). 

Yes, I can do it in Photoshop, but that's hassle and it invariably means some image degradation. Fine if this were some freebie app on a phone for fun, but this is Adobe CS...

Agreed @The Scott Valentine ,

A workaround for me atm is pop it into Ps and use select subject to remove the bg.

Happy making
