Hello, I would like to be able to make a tool that allows you to draw on a taken photo. However, no block allows you to do this.
I had an idea but I can’t find the solution. It’s to upload the photo taken to the application so that it can then be displayed as wallpaper on the canvas. Someone can help me ? The answers I found on the forum are not clear… and don’t really help me
Can you give us some sample code please.
No, I can’t write you an example of code because I don’t know how to do it. I would like to succeed in finding a way to make an application with a tool allowing you to take a photo and then draw on it like some existing applications in the app stores.
I think this could work with an image component behind a canvas with a transparent background.
@matt_conroy Is there a reason why the transparent background appears opaque/white when testing in Thunkable Live? This project (see first screen) is not a fully-formed demo yet but when I live test it, it looks like this:
It also seems that it’s impossible to set an alpha (opacity) value lower than 100 (100%) for the stage’s background color. When I enter a different number such as 25 and press tab, it reverts immediately to 100. Is this a bug?

Thanks for flagging this. I will take a look and see what might be going on.
Hi,
Actually, I don’t understand because it is impossible to create a canvas with a transparent background. The background must necessarily have a color. I don’t understand why there is not the possibility in the canvas to be able to put a transparent background to finally be able to draw transparently on a photo taken.
The stage’s background color seems to allow for an opacity setting of 0 (which would be transparent) but it’s not working correctly. Thunkable Staff is looking into the problem so we’ll need to wait to see when they can fix it.

I’ll bump this to our dev team again. It looks like this was previously reported here back in mid-2022. Apologies for this inconvenience here.
Hi,
Even without a sprite, just the canvas does not allow it to be transparent even if it is empty.
It seems to be impossible to draw on a canvas with a transparent background (which would indeed allow you to draw on a photo in the background with a transparent canvas on top). If you find a solution I’m interested 
You’ve repeated this a few times. Are you aware that the Thunkable Staff are looking into the problem you’ve described?

I wasn’t sure if the problem I described was understood as I don’t speak English well. I’m using a translator. I thank the thunkable team in any case for taking this time to study this problem. Thank you so much

Hello, I don’t know if the problem has been resolved because I saw in the release notes that this is noted:
“Fix issue with rendering Sprite opacity in Canvas tab”
I still have the same problem. Is this normal?
I thank you in advance
@team.eps.numeriqueg That is a different issue. The issue we are having with the transparent canvas background being opaque has been acknowledged by our Product team but we don’t have any timeline for a fix yet, however. I’ll have to update you here if I receive any news.
Perfect, thank you. I didn’t know if it was a note to say that the fix had been done or if it had only been declared. Thank you a lot. Good day
Hello,
I was wondering if you managed to resolve the issue in order to complete the task I mentioned earlier. I’m still unable to do it. Thank you.
Hi @team.eps.numeriqueg, thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, we don’t have a timeline for a fix for this yet. I’ll have to update you here if I receive any news.
