best guess. You have gone to some web site advertising transparent images, and taken a screenshot. Not the way to do it. Maybe like this: https://i.imgur.com/e3L2b4h.jpg The checker pattern in Gimp only indicates transparency. What you have is picture of a checker pattern. Go back and see if you can download the image again as a .png file which supports transparency. If that is not possible then you might get a reasonable result using Gimp foreground extract see: https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-tutorial-quickie-separate.html That will separate the checker background of your image to allow a layer underneath to show: https://i.imgur.com/boaIzgZ.jpg -- 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
