[How to set background transparency]

Thanks for that.

The white background layer works for me.

[How to set background transparency]

Thanks for the replies.

 

I'm working with static gifs.

I see now that they open as transparent. The problem that I have now is that it's hard to see the foreground against the chequered background (about half of my gifs are simple line drawings).

In the old version of PSP that I was using, there was an option to make the current background (or foreground) colour transparent, so I could work on a white background and then set white to be displayed as transparent. Is there anything like that in Paint.NET?

 

Thanks again.

[How to set background transparency]

Hello,

 

I'm coming off years of using an ancient version of Paintshop Pro, which I know inside out, but can't install on Windows 10, so I'm trying Paint.NET.

I have a bunch of transparent gifs to create/edit.

How do I make/keep the background transparent?

 

I've tried various searches in the forum, but can't find what I need.

 

Thanks.
