You need to add transparency (alpha channel) to the image for the eraser to work (otherwise it paints in the BG colour) Use menu Layer -> Transparency -> Add Alpha Channel If that entry is greyed out, the image already has an alpha channel For some images, a fuzzy select on the background, and Edit -> Cut might be sufficient see: https://imgur.com/H7UYgg7 Others will be more difficult, your attached image originally had semi-transparent pixels in the edge. Never going to be wonderful without a bit of correction. https://imgur.com/IGwfRt8 Save your work as a Gimp .xcf image which keeps layers, transparency. Export as a .png to flatten an image and keep transparency. -- rich404 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
