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.

You are not doing anything wrong. 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.
