PS uses a non-standard feature called a 'clipping path' You can this find in jpegs and tiffs formats that do not usually support transparency. Usually meant for some sort of desktop publishing application. The PS clipping path can be created two ways. If you are lucky, there will be a path in the paths dialogue. Make sure the image has an alpha channel. Make a selection from path (might need to invert it). Delete the selection. If you are unlucky, it has been made for use in some other PS application such as Illustrator. No path, not much you can do with it, except remove the white background. Various ways, depends on the image. -- 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
