Hi when cropping a photo ocassionally the grey background of the original photosize gets left behind as a chequered background. How can I correct or get rid of this?

Thanks

Hello Phil,

I'm going to have to ask you to explain a little further. I'm afraid I don't undertsand what "the grey background of the original photosize gets left behind as a chequered background" means!

A chequered background typically indicates transparency, such as the background you get using the Background Removal tool. Cropping a photo doesn't create transparency. It simply crops.

Perhaps if you attached a screenshot showing the issue it would help to clarify.

Hello Phil,

I have no wish to insult your intelligence, but could you please confirm that the steps shown in the video are the ones you're taking. You'll see it on YouTube more clearly (obviously).

I've never seen that behaviour in PhotoDirector before. Never. If that's the result of simply cropping, there's something wrong with the installation.
