Thanks for the response, Sarkut. I've just started using Paint.NET for my pixel art recently, since I've been unimpressed with the Windows 7 version of MS Paint. It seems strange to me that transparent areas would cover up opaque pixels. Anyone know why Paint.NET is designed this way? Photoshop, for example, does not have this issue. Shouldn't opaque pixels always "show through" transparency?

I'm working on a png sprite sheet with a transparent background. Whenever I select a sprite to move it around, the "transparent" part around the sprite ends up covering opaque pixels behind it. Is there a way to change this behavior? I'd prefer to not have to use layers.
