I know exactly how layers should work. Maybe you all just forgot the actual definition of the word transparent?

Funny, but really. This started yesterday, and the only thing I've changed was downloading and installing the PSD.dll into the filetypes folder. Do you all actually think "copying transparency" that OCCLUDES things behind it is acceptable behavior?

I'm having this problem too and all of your suggestions are illogical. Copying transparency shouldn't be an issue. It's transparent. You're all treating the transparency "background" as a legitimate solid color or checkered background, when it should be non existent. 0 on the alpha scale. This has never been an issue for me, but all of a sudden paint.net is doing this odd behavior.
