Two questions please. On the free Pixelmator its possible to cut a background on a layer to combine two layers.
It seems impossible on the pro.
Also is there a way to change the colour of a new image from the grey to white, or again, transparent!
many thanks

Hey there, welcome to the forum! Just like in Pixelmator Classic, it's possible to cut parts of a layer with selection tools using Pixelmator Pro. There's a dedicated tutorial on replacing background you can check out here here.
Also is there a way to change the colour of a new image from the grey to white, or again, transparent!
If I understand correctly, you're looking to change how the canvas looks like when you create a new image? If that's the case, there's a setting for this in the Pixelmator Pro preferences (Pixelmator Pro > Preferences). You can choose black, white, or transparent canvas from the "New image contents" pop-up menu under General preferences.

Hope that helps!
