First Note: im trying to make a new tileset for maps that i make im currently using Paint.net kinda new at it so dont know much


I need kinda a program that will allow me to seea layer but not draw on it so i can stay within the block boundaries or just esplain to me how im suposed to do that in paint.net cause everytime i save it merges the layers
I started trying to just count how many pixels im going and try and make it like that it worked fine up untill i did something wich is now anoying to fix with just trail and error, i think i moved the entire picture in some direction and now all of my blocks have the bottom and left side more added which is should not have so if anyone can point me in the direction of tutorials or a new program that might be easier to use either will work

PS. the image is already at the top so i cant move it upwards to remove the bottom line :/

GIMP 2 or abode cs5 fhotoshop is the best choice for.... imo xd

Honestly, I have no idea what you mean, but

Just save it as *.pdn. When you're done, you can export it as png, which forces you to merge the layers.. obviously.

i wanna work off of a template layer being and when im done just remove that and i have my own thing i made without the other layer
@Cellegen i thought about photoshop but for me its not the best way as i cant run it how can i do it with gimp i have that on

Use the dilate.exe from graphics tools in downloads on the PNG
