hope7 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 When I work & work to erase all of the background away from an image leaving just the image itself, it won't save that way. When I open it up again, I have to erase the background all over again. Is there a way to save the image with the erased background so that I don't have to erase it over & over again?

Red ochre Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Hi Hope, Save as a '.png' file (32 bit) or, if in layers, save as a '.pdn' file too. Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

Eli Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Hello hope7, You are probably saving your image using a format that does not keep transparency (jpeg, bmp...) If you want to keep the transparent areas you must save it as a png file. edit: You got me this time Red ochre, Argggh Edited January 13, 2016 by Eli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hope7 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Oh, okay, yes I was saving as a jpeg. Thanks to both of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 the Save Configuration dialog does a pretty good job of showing you when an image won't have transparency as a result of saving in the format you've chosen Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
