Going back
quote - I'm sure this is a very basic question, but I have an object on a checkered background (transparency?) but I can't get rid of the checkered background. Is there a simple way to do so? The chequer pattern is often used to denote transparency. Best leave as is in Gimp but if you want to change to something else, say white, then use Edit -> Preferences -> Display and under Transparency change the Check style. quote - I've just noticed that the transparency object that is working for me is a png file, and the ones that won't work are jpegs Not all image formats support transparency, Save as a Gimp .xcf and keep transparency, Export as png, tif, psd, bmp keeps transparency. Jpeg is a principally a photographic format. Does not need transparency. Any transparency in your image is replaced by the current background colour. -- 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
