the back ground shouldnt matter because im useing the eport without background option. and white brush makes the color of the swatch i wish to use show up as if it is mixed with white.
if i want green , i get a faded white-mixed green color as apposed to the pure green of the swatch i wish to select.
and while im here.... my new issue is i dont know how to collapse a layer in the layers panel. i dont need to see where each any every stroke i make is in the layers panel. and its a pain to navigate through layers in a vector painting when each layer is displaying each and every mark ive made in that layer--- figured it out. i guess not every object has to be on a layer? and you dont actually start your document out with any layers. so if you just start painting over say, a photo youve imported with out creating an original layer your just making a bunch of strokes that you cant collapse in the layers panel. and all those strokes appear to be in the layer above , i almost broke my head trying to figure out why only half my layer would collapse
