Nothing broken there - the file type filter on the right limits the
displayed files to those matching the type chosen, and the file type
selection can be used to choose a type (and file name extension) for the
exported file.

There's hardly ever any need to change the latter from its default "By
extension" setting, though.

The issue was, even though i selected PNG from the drop down on the right, it
was exporting as jpeg. I hit the + select file type (by extension) on the left
and a box popped up and from there i selected PNG and that fixed it.

[Gimp-user] White background instead of transparent

[rich2005]

>Hi, here is what things look like from my end.

Question, does this happen when the png file is re-opened in Gimp

or

Are you using a separate viewing application. Not all will 'honour'
transparency.

Exporting such an image as a PNG works for me, but for a similar-sized 
image, the PNG is 32MB, slow to export, and slow to load.


This said, have you checked with several different image viewing apps 
that your background is always white, because the white background can 
be added by the image viewer (for instance Firefox displays transparency 
as a very light gray (224,224,224)) . And what do you get when you open 
the PNG in Gimp? Is the transparency gone?

Even with this checked, transparency will still be transparency. It
should be checked depending of the intended use of the png file - if
you want to be able to "unerase" parts of it, or if it is being used
as texture on a 3D program you will need to check it - otherwise leave
it unchecked for better compression.

Re: [Gimp-user] White background instead of transparent

[Joao S. O. Bueno]

Things look alright on GIMP side from yur screenshot, but for the fact
your image filename lists it as a ".jpg".

The jpg file format has no support for transparency, and the
"simptons" of trying to save transparency to such a file would be
exactly waht you describe.

Are you sure you are really making your export to a png file? And if
so, are you sure the other application you are using to view the file
correctly supports/shows this transparency?

When you export the image to PNG, did you check the box to "Save color
values from transparent pixels"?

I was having no trouble with this, yesterday it worked just fine, this just
started today so I re installed gimp. Maybe something in my registry is
corrupted.

No need to reinstall. Gimp doesn't use the registry anyway, everything 
is in your Gimp profile(*).


But still I would ascribe that to user error. Can you show(**) a 
screenshot of the layers list before you export?
