Hello
make sure there is an alpha channel (allows transparency) on the layer
you are drawing on (/layer/transparency/add an alpha channel/) then
- first option : use the eraser tool or
- second option : use the foreground selection tool (rather tricky on
first use but powerfull), then invert selection (/selection/invert/) and
/edit/erase/
- third option : use the smart scissor tool to select your image, then
invert selection and erase
- fourth option : use a layer mask (/layer/mask/add a layer mask/option
white/), draw black/white on your mask to make/recover transparent areas
Import your new background image as a new layer (/file/open as layer/),
make it the background layer (/layer/stack/layer at the bottom/)
Use the move tool to move your drawing layer, and scaling tool to adjust
your size.... good luck
(nota : my gimp is a french language version, maybe the /menu options /I
mention are not acurate in english... ;-)

Hi
I have GIMP 2.1 installed on my computer
I want to bucket paint the back ground color transparent then copy and paste the
subject (myself) onto another image file.
I remember adobe photoshop elements allowed you to do this. Just wondered if you
could do the same hear?
Thanks
MM
