Well the title says it all i guess.

When im painting or blending and go behind the canvas, what would in real life be just air, is in this program an invisable black color. This is so frustating everytime im blending near the edges of the canvas its taking the black color over my painting i want to smack my computer.

Could anyone please help me out im lost.

Thanks in advance, Jack'o

Quickly after posting my tread i found out itll only take the black color from behind the edges if you got a new layer with "pick up underlaying colors" checked on.

Is there still a way around this strange bug?

this is a bug so far as i know and has been mentioned many times before. can't remember if theres a work around other than making all strokes towards the edges of the painting, it only happens when you make a stroke outside the edge into the painting.

You could increase the size of the canvas by a margin of some size to give you a buffer between the painting and the edge of the canvas.

Just crop it down after you're done blending.

Already had that in mind yesterday for a sec but dint thought it was a good workaround, but how you bring it it sounds like a pretty good solution and the more i think about it it might even have some advantages.

Thanks alot, Jack'o
