Hi, I'm totally new to Pixelmator Pro and hope someone can assist.

I have opened a photo and clicked Remove Background; it works very well but I'm left with a grey background.

How can I color the plain grey background with a color I want?

TIA for any help.

Insert Empty Layer and drag it below the image in the Layers Panel.
Fill the Empty Layer with the desired color (Tools->Color Fill->select desired color and click on the layer to be filled with color)
