Hi Bob. No, the point I am making is that although the checkered section supposedly represents an empty section, in fact, it appears to be impossible to get rid of it. In other words, I wanted to slide something right up close to the part I cropped, but it proved impossible because the supposedly empty section continued to be in the way. Only if I use the rectangle select in Tools can I crop something without this problem, in which case - of course - it is square but if I want to put a sloping shape, the checkered section immediately seems to be activated and I have found no way to get rid of it except that it changes white but still forms the part of the pic which I wanted to cut out! I cannot find any search facility on this forum but somebody must have asked this question before!! Anyway, thanks for your comment.

Hi there. I want to ask a query about paint.NET: I have cropped parts of certain photos but I am left with a checkered background. I finally ended up with a white background but I don't want it since I wish to layer this onto another pic. How do I make the part I cut out and cropped the final edge so I can layer this on to something else?? ukapolog

Hi There. I am very impressed with your program, but I have a further question: Does this prog allow me to create cartoon-like speech baloons/clouds into which I can place text? ukapolog.

I should have said 'when I pressed control and "I"'

Hi There! I did exactly what you suggested but when I pressed Ctl and A and then delete (I found it impossible to press all 3 together), the second picture still remained on top of the original background one which I selected, and the part was indeed cut out as I wished - but it disappeared! So the second pic I added (which I wanted to take a detail out of) remained right on top of the other one and the part I cut out was indeed removed but disappeared. More help please?? I am very grateful, by the way.
