Hello, how do I get the checkered background in photoshop? I've tried creating a new layer and deleting the background but I'm still not getting a checkered canvas. Do I need to change my settings?

Is it because it's set to none?


Yes, just select another option

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible? 

What are the Photoshop > Perferences > Transparency & Gamut-settings?
