... Is there any way to stop transparency from happening? When you erase, it paints the secondary color? Anything? Btw, I kinda get the feeling you all think I'm a PDN Newbie... I'm not... >_<

I meant paint without any color at all...

What I'm getting after is either there is something that might make transparency act like an actual color, or an entirely new thought, completely devoid transparency from even happening. 2 ideas, you mixed them together... And, how exactly might I do that with the wand? Use some random colour where you wish to erase (keeping this as primary colour) and use a plugin called "color to alpha" (search for it) to change areas of this colour to transparent. Interesting... But not really what I'm looking for... I know I misread the function... Leave my mistake to die >_<

I know, I know, but it's that I am having trouble with. Paint.NET treats transparency (no color) like a void. You can't have a transparency color, apply it to a brush and start brushing transparency onto your art, you have to erase it... How can I disable transparency? (If possible) Without using layers? Another issue, is there some other bucket fill/magic wand option then contagious (lightning bolt) or global :Link: ? It bothers me. If i use contagious, it attracts all colors relatively close to the chosen color, and global attracts all colors like that one the entire page. This all is sorta helpful, just not when you are editing several different images all on one sheet...

Hi, my name is Fishbowl444 and I sprite for my own games and project games for my friends. I have been using Paint.NET for about a half a year and I love it. I use it for simplicity versus GIMP. Although the efficiency of Paint.Net is great, I dislike using it for general spriting, but would like to move off of the plain MS Paint (XP Version) The problems I have with Paint.NET is that: 1. Transparency is treated like an empty void, and not like a color. 2. When I cut something, a space of transparency appears (not the secondary color) Are there any plug-ins that could help me out? Are there any plug-ins that might also be good for spriting?
