Do the squares look something like this? http://www.arach.net.au/~savage/Misc/Opacity75%25.jpg If so it's as Bill suggested You won't see the squares when you save the file, it'll just look a little washed out: <http://www.arach.net.au/~savage/Misc/Opacity75%25_02.jpg> The original <http://www.arach.net.au/~savage/Misc/Opacity100%25.jpg> If the squares are really bothering you create a new layer below the one your working on & fill it with white. This will simulate what the final saved image will look like. HTH Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
