Did you find a solution? If so what was it? Otherwise, I just tried the following: 1. I open a photograph. 2. Layer > Transparency > Add Alpha Channel (or right-click layer ...). 3. For a test, I did a rough selection with the Free Select Tool. 4. Dragged white to the selection. 5. Select > Invert. 6. Hit the "Delete" button. I wonder if you checked out: Layer > Transparency > Color to Alpha -- __________________________ DJ _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
