Bug with transparency and layers in 4.0.4

[shrapnel09]

Hello,

 

I do this process often enough and just started noticing this particular issue since upgrading to 4.0.4. Please feel free to tell me if I am doing something incorrectly but I believe it is a new issue.

 

1. Create 2 new images A and B.

2. Image A has a solid background. Draw a shape on it.

3. Image B has a transparent background. Hit Ctrl+A to select all, and then hit Delete. Draw a circle.

4. Copy Image B.

5. Create a new layer for Image A and paste Image B into the new layer.

6. Paste a second copy of Image B into that same layer.

 

If the two copies of Image B in the new layer overlap, they will show the lower layer rather than the image information on the same layer.

 

See attached image for example.

That's always the way it has worked. What you want to do is place image B on it's own layer.

B1 and B2 should both be on their own layer? That's what I ended up doing to get what I wanted. I swear it used to work differently as I don't recall running into it before but I do this sort of process regularly.

 

Thanks!

You may have been thinking of Microsoft Paint. That's the way it works--it has to as it doesn't have layers.
