The checkered area is transparent space in that layer which I'm guessing is the background layer. I believe transparent areas in the other layers show through so you see the background, but it's been a while since I've done any serious picture manipulation with GIMP so I could be wrong.
This probably happened by starting with the original picture, selecting an area of it to change and some how in the process deleting the rest of it. Go back to the original picture and start over.

Title: gimp help Post by: Tenshii~Akari on July 29, 2008, 06:53:11 pm What I suggest you do is when you PrintScreen your pictures, save them as .tiff files. This usually prevents the layering problem you'll encounter in newer versions of GIMP. I know Gadwin PrintScreen (http://www.gadwin.com/printscreen/) has a function that you can set so it automatically saves pictures in that format. :angel:
