Re: Help with transparency
yep - that what I'd do with photoshop etc but painter seems to work different - you can hide the canvas but you cant delete it, nor can you make it transparent.
All save options from painter [I can only speak of windows compatible formats] that export as a single layer first merge the layers with the canvas when exporting - so your stuck with the canvas background color.
The two that export layers, psd and painters own format rif, will let you save layers with transparency, but you need to deal with these in another program to save as a single layer with transparent background.
Corel expert somewhere prove me wrong please, I'd love to find out how its done if it can be, but so far in my painter ix.5 no way have I found.
EDIT: molucca just seen your second post: yep agreed, xtremepro will delete canvas layer, as will photoshop, gimp, and if memory serves psp9 and probably others too... but you do need the addtional program painter alone is not enough it seems.
Thanks
