l02turner Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Is it possible to change the checkerboard that appears when using the eraser to something closer to the dominant background - I usually work with a white "canvas" and the checkerboard is very distracting. Ideas? Thx - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 The checkerboard indicates transparency. You can add another layer below the transparent layer and fill the canvas with white.

jim100361 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) You can add a layer beneath it and paint it white and then the checkboard won't be visible. The checkerboard is Paint.NET's way of indicating transparency. Edit: Helen beat me by a few seconds I guess (great minds think alike?)
