Hi guys. Quick gimp question.
I'm putting up a website with an image of my "signature" (no, not my real signature). I've scanned the signature and have a nice image with a white background. Now I want to convert the white background to transparent so that the signature sits cleanly on whatever colour background the website happens to be. So, two questions: (1) Although the scanned background is pretty good, it's still made up of various shades of white. How can I use gimp (or gimp-2.0) to select a colour range (pure white to offwhite) and remap it pure white #ffffff ? (2) Now that the background is a nice uniform white, how do I change that to being transparent. I'm sure this is easy, but I'm stuffed if I can find an option in Gimp. Probably staring right at me somewhere. Thanks!
