iN Paint.net, which is alot more tricky than Photoshop in setting Background Image to Transparent!
See Solution Below:
I had to search good earlier myself.......SEARCH GOOGLE FOR "PAINT.NET SET BACKGROUND TRANSPARENCY" There is a blog I used as a guide that helped. Basicly by default the Transparency on the toolbar is set to (50%) by default in paint.net. you have to change it to 0% in the toolbar up above OR double click "layer properties" in the Layers Panel and you can then Reduce that setting to 0% instead and it works just the same!!
Hope that helps!!
Note: only works on PNG files, GIF files are not supported yet for Paint.net.
HOPE THIS HELPS WITH YOUR DESIGN LABS AVATAR ARTWORK AND SUBMISSIONS!
