Thanks for the response. Strange: when I use the magic wand to delete a background on an image, the background is filled in with black color (rather than the "checkboard" transparency. I am going to try an uninstall/install to see if that remedies it.

Opacity settings > Alpha. Figured it out.

Intermediate user here. I installed the 4.0.3 version. I use the magic wand to select & clear backgrounds from single-layer images. Now after I select an area with the magic wand & click delete, the background is filled with the current color on the color palette, and not the "checkboard" transparency I was used to in the old version of Paint.net. How do a change these tool settings for the magic wand to delete the selection, not fill it?
