LOL (with all due respect) Thank you, rich, your answer was all I was looking for. But that raises another question (which you are free not to give me an answer): what's the purpose of the buttons "Lock pixels" and "Lock transparency"? Specially the first, if activating it "locks" pixels *and* transparencies? Thank you again, anyway!! Wish I had discovered the utility of the Behind Mode before, that would surely spare me some teeth gnarlings...!
