The problem with 'native' formats is that one cannot publish in them, except for the native Photoshop format psd, which is even known to vector programs. I will experiment in that direction, saving in kra exporting in png. You didn't understand my silly "Therefore I started to change the background to 'white transparent'." I started using Krita seriously in MacOS. There is given a very 'playful' way of changing the background colour and transparency by way of choosing the colour of a 'colouring pencil'. So when the chequered background was to dark for me to see some edge details in the b/w drawing, I chose white in the background and set the transparency to 50%, making sure that I could set the transparency back tot 100% afterwards. In some cases that did not work as perfectly as I had hoped for. I will follow your advice for which I am very thankful and I 'll see what happens. Have a very nice day and keep healthy.
