Photoshop - iPad - Opacity

Question

Hello,As a Photoshop for the iPad newbie, I'm trying to trace a photo as described in the guide below.When I reduce the opacity, a checkerboard background appears, rather than the white background in the instructions.What step am I, or the guide, missing to get a white background when reducing opacity?Thanks. https://creativecloud.adobe.com/cc/discover/article/the-art-of-the-trace-turn-a-selfie-into-a-line-drawing?locale=en&scid=e85d4bb4-de0d-4ef6-9757-a49d069870ac&mv=social&mv2=owned_social&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR3YbKYuGiDGSbJFkeWk2HlNQ88mVkOMVuM_a9FuIJGyO1rol5Tb0J1QSo8_aem_AbDXPB2noW6zVbJLvPj8wKLZJjPkC2AIlmdnglB-z3AFHrgIYxyq6yLMhix7_K31JNpCbp923MiAtt-uwsNzgW50

The checkboard pattern indicates opacity or partial opacity — in your case 50%. If you don't want to see the transparency grid, you can create a new layer at the bottom of the Layers panel and fill it with white. Apologies for not seeing your post for almost two months. Jane
