This might be a silly question…
The other day I cut a selection to a new layer and turned off the background layer to look at the selection alone. It struck me that it made a very cool image all by itself, floating on the checkerboard background. I played with drop shadows, etc and really liked what I was looking at.
Is there any way to add that checkerboard background into the picture? Obviously if you flatten the image you get a white background.
I suppose I could use a screenshot or create a new background from scratch… but I wonder if there’s an easier way.
PS/CS2, BTW.
