There's no "transparent layer."  Every single one of his layers now have
transparency.

It's like he was given a sheet of white paper, and then he added some
sheets of cellophane on top of them.

Now he suddenly has a bigger desk to draw on, but none of his cellophane
(or the white paper at the bottom) have been made bigger.
