 What's going wrong here?

Well... You've written it yourself; no, it's not your wife ;)

[gentoo-user] OT - GIMP question

2005-12-02 Thread Michael Sullivan
I've got an image that my wife created in pbrush.exe in Windows.  The
image has a white background which I need to change to tranparent.  Is
there a way to do this in GIMP?  I tried manipulating the layers, but as
there is only one layer I didn't have much success...

If you want to make ALL white pixels transparent, it would be easier
to use imagemagick

 convert inputfilename -transparent color outputfilename

color can be specified by name (white) or rgb values. cf. 
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php

And since the file is created in pbrush, there's a slight possibility
the file didn't support transparency to start with. You can set the
outputfilename to foo.png and let convert change to format also...
