Odysseus1980 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hello ! I just tried Paint.net 4.0.9 and I have two questions (before I used MSPaintXP). -When I select the eraser, it does not erase to blank, but a grey-white chess board appears. How I can relly erase something? Only by selecting white color? -Text has a shadow behind it, why? And how I can remove this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 The chequer-board pattern denotes transparency. That means you can see layers below that layer. Try pressing the F1 key when you have paint.net open and read up about layers - it's a simple idea but can confuse if you are used to XP paint. or just click this link http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/WorkingWithLayers.html Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 ^ Correct. The checkerboard pattern is a placeholder for transparent pixels. It will only show up in the paint.net editing environment. When you save the image in a format that supports transparency (like PNG but not JPG), the pattern will be replaced by transparent pixels.
