Well I'm sorry i broke the rules by not using v3.58 please forgive me, but if my older computer won't run it please tell me because right now i'm stuck for money for a newer machine I'm using XP with sp2 on it

yes that part works maybe I'm missing a point, on creating a image for a new layer walk me through it please, you can treat me like I'm dumb its fine because, i feel dumb about this, when i do it i check the x it makes a new blank layer, then i open a image i want i thing I'm confused, sorry us old guys screw up I'm a hardware electronic tech all my life, still do bench work repair when i get a good job

just did it send a pic of some flowers and landscape, and my father-law i can import him into the pic but i could not do it with layers i just don't get what I'm doing wrong thanks for your help Gary

now you got it, they are checked on, but i don't know what is wrong, i wish i did, maybe I'm missing a dll or something that paint.net is not happy about

No i can import and move the imported image around, and produce good work, what i want to do it create 5 layers and be able to turn them on and off but i cannot even make one layer the only layer that has a image is the first background one i hope I'm making myself clear i saw some videos on you tube and it seems I'm either missing a point, or i don't have it set up right, in either case it's driving me nuts and i feel like i'm doing something very dumb

I can make just about everything work i'm using v3.36 because i thought my computer would not work well with a newer version i can import a image that i use the eraser on, and save it as a .png that all works fine. But when i try to add a layer i see the image on top then when i hit f7 i get the vertical line up, but i get two layers in the vertical one has the background the other just has the eraser markings and nothing else, when i try to merge nothing happens i feel so dumb, I'm pushing 70 but i like learning and dam i feel sooo dumb asking for help, i never had to before, I'm using xp with sp2 Thanks for reading Gary
