Paint Shop Pro X4 14.2.0.1 Vista 64. Suddenly I cannot erase parts of the background image and create the checkerboard pattern. The erased area becomes white regardless of pallette color settings. Just to make sure I wasn't losing my mind I tried the same thing in my old PSP 7 and the checkerboard pattern does appear when erasing parts of the background image. I have reinstalled the program with the same results. Please advise. Thanx.
Solved: Recently recalibrated my monitor. The default color of the checkerboard was so light that it appeard white!! Chose dark gray and all is well.

Re: Transparency Checkerboard Disappeared
Is the background image a Background Layer or a Raster layer? Only Raster layers can have transparency.
Of course in many cases it's set to auto promote the layer when you attempt to do something like that. In which case I'd check your Auto-action list to see if it's set to auto-promote the layer when using the eraser tool. Or manually promote the background layer to a raster layer.
