ukapolog Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Hi there. I want to ask a query about paint.NET: I have cropped parts of certain photos but I am left with a checkered background. I finally ended up with a white background but I don't want it since I wish to layer this onto another pic. How do I make the part I cut out and cropped the final edge so I can layer this on to something else?? ukapolog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 The checkered background represent the transparent part, it will not being visible in the picture. Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukapolog Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 Hi Bob. No, the point I am making is that although the checkered section supposedly represents an empty section, in fact, it appears to be impossible to get rid of it. In other words, I wanted to slide something right up close to the part I cropped, but it proved impossible because the supposedly empty section continued to be in the way. Only if I use the rectangle select in Tools can I crop something without this problem, in which case - of course - it is square but if I want to put a sloping shape, the checkered section immediately seems to be activated and I have found no way to get rid of it except that it changes white but still forms the part of the pic which I wanted to cut out! I cannot find any search facility on this forum but somebody must have asked this question before!! Anyway, thanks for your comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Put the image you want on the background on a layer, the foreground w/ transparent parts on another, and put the background layer before the foreground (on the bottom of the layer window).
