bbrk24 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) I can't change the color that I'm using. I can use the color picker, but I want to change to something not in the image! Also, I can't actually change the image. The pencil, paintbrush, and bucket tools are being useless right now! How do I change an image to have a transparent background instead of black, if it's only one layer? Edited June 2, 2016 by bbrk24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJW Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 To manually enter a color, use the Color Menu. If it's not currently visible, click the little color-wheel icon in the upper-right corner of the Paint.Net window If you can't edit the image, make sure you don't have a selection, since you can only edit within the selection. Use Edit>Deselect, or hit Ctrl+D, to deselect any current selections. Also make sure you have the right layer active if you have more than one. I'm not exactly clear on that you want regarding making a background transparent instead of black, but you might look at the Make Transparent plugin.

bbrk24 Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 I figured out how to remove the background using the magic wand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
