I'm using version 2.8. The hole which I cut is white, i.e. 100% opacity. So how do I get the opacity just for that hole down to 0%?
I found the source of the problem but still don't understand it: The picture of the group is a jpeg formatted. When I cut a hole in it and clear it I get a white spot. However, I copied the whole picture into the clipboard and exported it as a png formatted, read it in again. And now cutting and clearing the hole is giving me the correct result, namely an open hole that is making the layer underneath visible. What happened by transforming the picture?
