Hello, I've been using the technique mentioned in the email below to try to get images with white backgrounds transparent .. I've had some good luck, but also some bad. Today I used the process on two .jpg's and the *entire* images ended up transparent. In one of the images, the foreground color is actually black. I've got the color picker on white and then do a color to alpha on white. The entire image (including the black stuff in the middle) gets the alternating boxes indicative of transparency.
Any ideas? This is one of the images I'm trying to make transparent: http://www.pelican.com/imatges/3cases_1620.jpg As far as I can tell, as a gimp newbie, this should be an easy target for color to alpha to make transparent, since the object is solid black. I figured the white would quickly turn transparent and that's it, but I've tried a bunch of times and the whole thing does. Maybe this is a bug w/ 2.0 on Win32? Thanks for the advice! -----Original Message----- From: Harish Narayanan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 08, 2004 4:07 PM To: dreadnought Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Gimp-user] Making an image with a white background transparent? dreadnought wrote: >Is there a resource geared for newbies on how to do this? > > Sure, here you go: http://gimp.org/tutorials/Changing_Background_Color_1/ (And you obviously wouldn't need to do step 5 on that tutorial.)
