I had hoped that would not be the answer. (very time consuming compaired to boring.[but quick] microsoft program.) I was doing that, but I guess I am used to pasting various sizes of same pic until it 'suits' background. This can mean maybe up to 20 'layers per pic x maybe 20 added pics for even small works. If I obtain right size in another program and then do as you say, and then add them to layer list (any limit on number of layers?) I hope to be able to work it out. Thanks for the help anyway mate. I must say again, I am very impressed with all the other tools, effects etc available with Paint.Net. Mike

Hello to all. New to this program, but, I am very impressed. This I hope will be my last stupid question..(lol) In the old microsoft paint when you added a picture with a transparent surround you just clicked on 'transparent' button on left, and whit background of PNG vanished. Is there such a button in Paint.Net. Or where is the setting to achieve same? Regards Mike
