Hi, potentially very silly question.
I will sometimes clip parts from other PNG/JPG images I find on Google to a transparent background to paste into other images with other backgrounds. After the part of the image is surrounded by nothing but transparency, I'll copy-paste that part into a new layer of a different image.
I noticed recently (possibly due to a recent Paint.net update?) that using Magic Wand + Delete no longer defaults to a transparent background.
It now weirdly defaults to a dark, solid color that is not transparent. so when I try to Magic Wand + Delete all the background around it, it instead surrounds it with a dark color that is not transparent.
If I try to copy the image, it copies the dark background along with it. Re-saving images as 32-bit PNG files does not seem to fix this issue. Ticking the Interlaced box on or off before saving as a PNG doesn't seem to make a difference--I can't get the deleted background to be transparent. It's always opaque.
Is there an obvious setting I'm missing to get Paint.net to default back to "delete background = transparent"?
Attached an image to show what I see after I Magic Wand + Delete part of the image background. Thank you for any help.
