What does the checkerboard mean?

A checkerboard is a visual convention used to show areas that are transparent rather than white.

Can a JPG have a transparent background?

How can I spot a light outline?

Preview the cutout against a darker color and inspect pale edges, hair, and fine details.

Can I add another background afterward?

After reviewing the transparent cutout, continue to the image changer to test a color or replacement scene.
