Minish Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Whenever I try to copy and paste an image when the background is transparent, It cuts out whatever is else in the background and if I press Ctrl + X, it just goes completely transparent, Please help!

Pixey Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Hello @Minish and welcome When you want to add something with a transparent background, make a new layer above the background you are using and paste it there.

BoltBait Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Instead of pressing Ctrl-V to paste, try Ctrl-Shift-V. This will put your pasted image on it's own layer. 1 Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also note that some images on the internet "fake" the checkerboard effect to indicate transparency (it would be invisible otherwise). If you paste into a new layer and the checkerboard still shows up you have one of these scenarios. The usual solution is to formally download the image and not cut & paste the image preview.
