Ohgodmanyo Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 So when I make a transparent image, it shows as transparent (invisible, as expected.) How would I make the checkerboard show? How would I make it so that the checkerboard is seen? Thank you so much in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Hello @Ohgodmanyo and welcome To save an image with a transparent background, save it as a .png. Then, when you bring it into Paint net again, you will see the checkerboard: Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

Ohgodmanyo Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 Thank you @Pixey, although this does not fully answer my question. If I were to upload the file to the internet, it would be removed. How would I be able to make one that isn't read as invisible, and you can still see the checkerboard. Sorry to be pestering you with my questions. Thanks!

Then in Paint.Net select Edit > Paste in New Image. Then take the selection tool and draw a rectangle around the view port in Paint.Net, click Image > Crop To Selection, and you have your image with the checkered squares. Incidentally, I tried using those checker boxes on my site https://pixeldatabase.net, and it hurts my eyes to stare at those squares for long periods of time, so I used a background with dark colored squares.
