cadia95 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hi guys. So I guess the first step is to admit that I'm a newbie? I mean, I have been using paint.net for a while but a none to brief peruse of the form tells me that there is still much much to learn. So I was wondering if you guys could help me out with a couple of questions. My main concern is this: I have a pop art picture I'm doing and I used the 50% fill option for one layer, but now I need all the white of the checkerboard deleted so that I have the alpha thingy there in my layer. Does that make sense? Anyway, is there a way to just delete all white? Preferably without another plug-in but I'll take what I can get. Also, is there anyway to have select things that are the same but the pixels are diagonal? Like on a grid or checkerboard I guess? Just wondering on this one. Thanks a ton guys! And I'll post the finished pop-art when (and if) it's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Removing the white on the checkerboard? I take it you did not create the checkerboard but it is there when you deleted a section of colour. The checkerboard is there as a visual guide only. It represents transparency. In other words it shows that there is nothing there. So no, it cannot be deleted but when you save the image as a .PNG the checkerboard bits will not show up but will be the same colour or pattern/texture as the background you put it in. Not sure if I understand the question on the diagonal. Are you wanting to select for example a rectangle but it needs to be on a diagonal? If so, make you selection, & use the right mouse button to turn the selection. I hope this helps. Please ask again if you need more help with this. Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

Sarkut Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 cadia95, On the layer that has been checkerboard-filled using the Paintbucket tool, Magic Wand the white while holding down the Shift key. Press the Delete key. Looking forward to seeing your finished work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
