This has happened to me before to.

I've found that the white bits don't show up on the picture once it's submitted unless you use the playback, then they appear again.

Yep.. ditto matthew.. I thought the 'new' mediums would have resolved this, but they didn't.

One thing is to ALWAYS undo any bits that are wrong, rather than covering them over.. and the 'Undo a few, play somewhere else and then try it again' approach that matthew suggested works quite well for me, most of the time..

Problem with five's suggestion (which I've also tried), is that when you really WANT the white bits to stay where they are, and you work around them.. they change or disappear !

Yes, this happens a lot... The second I see it happen, I will undo a few pieces... Then move & work in a different area with different pieces... Then come back to that area...

This is not full proof, but it often helps... The biggest trick is to limit the layering as best you can...

It happens when lots of pieces are layered near each other (which happens when you do a lot of fill in with gothic or avatars, or some of the smaller bits in animals); sometimes you can switch to another piece and resolve the white problem, but not always. I bet QSilv could explain why it happens.

I just work in the white bits to the composition if I have to or change the background -- the different backgrounds show through instead of white.
