Leanne,
I am not an expert but I believe I can explain a few of your
`events` :^)
`undo` undoes stuff, gonzo!! So, very often as you are working hit
the key combo ^S (control key, letter s combo) to save your work to the
point you are presently at. Do not wait until you are finished to save
your work.
The `checkered backdrop` is the indication you are working with a
transparent layer and when you `undo` or `erase` your work, well, what you
are left with is just the now empty transparent layer.
If you get into the habit of `saving` your work, the `undo` will
only kill at most back to what you last saved.
Hope this all is of some help.
