The "checkerboard pattern" is not part of the actual image data, but instead GIMP's way of informing you that that region of the image is transparent and there's nothing below it (note that the size of the checkerboard doesn't change as you zoom in and out). -- Stratadrake [email protected] -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
