[New to Paint.net with merge problem]

Thanks, that worked.

 

 There isn't any help button on Paint.net.  Is there a manual somewhere?

I tried to attach a screen shot  but got a message saying I couldn't use that kind of file in this forum?

Bolt Bait,

 Thanks for the reply.

 

 I don't know what Image Flatten but it's also grayed out.

 I'll go read about it.

Paint.net forum,
 I downloaded Paint.net 4.0.0 and this is my first time using a paint program.

 In my session I have opened 2 pdf files.  One contains a simple drawing
 and the other is just a solid color.  My goal is to use one as a background
 and then make it transparent.  They are shown as 2 different layers and I
 labeled one Foreground and the other Background.  I have successfully
 erased the white pixels around the drawing and now I want to merge the
 2 layers together.  When I click on "Layers" the Merge option is grayed out.

 

 What am I doing wrong?
