Your forum profile says you are using Windows XP. Is that correct?
Are you using a Mac or Windows with maybe a 4K display?

It looks like some sort of reduced transparency issue but how to reproduce I do not know.

So, after looking at the screen shots you added I noticed that my images were originally saved with a duplicate layer of the wings underneath the first layer so I guess I was deleting the top layer but not the next one...feeling totally ridiculous right now... but thank you for all the help! I was originally concerned that I was deleting wrong or something.
Thanks again!
