Is it possible to use a CICheckerboardGenerator filter to fill the entire background of a CALayer so that I get a similar effect to that which Photoshop has when the content is transparent?

You just need to load the pattern tile image (four squares) from a file into a CGImage (or draw it on the fly), then wrap the CGImage in a CGPattern and make a CGColor from it. The QuartzUtils module of my GeekGameBoard library has a GetCGPatternNamed function to do this:
