--- Comment #3 from Rudolf <i...@rudolfkahl.nl> --- Hello Boudewijn, Thank you very much for your explanation. I use both in different Linux versions but I mostly use the appimage 4.2.9. On macOS I even use 4.3.0. . It doesn't make much difference to me. Well, the whole issue came up since I had a strange problem with Krita I couldn't recreate. It probably occurs when I use the soft eraser on a 8-bit grey-scale image with transparent background. All my images on this project, over 300 and increasing are meant to be on a transparent background for the later page design. And in some occasions a soft grey or white shade appears on the saved picture which is invisible in Krita. In some earlier cases this shade was grey which was even more disturbing. Therefor I started to change the background to 'white-transparent'. I found this out in MacOS where the color quite childishly and typical Mac is chosen by way of coloring pencils. So to avoid the grey shade which appeared in some cases, became white... until I found out that this choice wasn't saved. Nonetheless sometimes the shade was grey and sometimes it was white (when I choose the white background transparency). This I could only see in either other pixel programs or in de icon in the file manager. In Linux I always use dark or even black themes and then those pictures with the 'fussy' background stick out. When I load the picture again, select the transparent background and delete it, then the background shading is gone afterwards. This figure should have a transparent background and had it through the whole procedure of making but once saved, the background is white, transparency gone. Reloading it in Krita, the background indeed appears to be white and when I check the background color, Krita is telling me that it is black and 100% transparent. I find this a bit frustrating. What I doe in a case like this: I load the picture again, select the background and delete it. After saving the thing it is OK. I use Krita because of the brushes. No program has these nice 'brushly' brushes. And I don't want to use Photoshop because everybody does and Adobe is a shitty company, like Corel, another shitty company. I will continue using Krita but now, when I save the picture, I have the file manager open next to it to see how the picture is saved and when a background is visible I delete it in the picture and save it again. Well, thanks again. Keep healthy and distant.
