I'm working with a lot of small grayscale images with transparency. The grey-on-grey checkerboard that gimp displays for "transparent" pixels camoflauges the actual image pixels almost perfectly, making things hard to work with. Is there a preference somewhere to set the transparent-bg to some tiled image? If so I would go for all red, or something. I can create a new layer of 100% red, put it under the image, and delete it when done, but alas, I've got so many images that the time for doing that for each is prohibitive. --Dave _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
