Re: [Gimp-user] (seemingly an odd question) getting this image into my email signature?
Saving your png image w/transparency as jpg flattens your image (that's what Gmail does too) - removes alpha channel and fills transparency with background color (which is white by default). This is why you see completely white image. Hit the x key on your keyboard (it will swap background and foreground colors) before saving it as jpg in GIMP. - Nik O.

[Gimp-user] (seemingly an odd question) getting this image into my email signature?
So I have an odd issue. What I am trying to do is to add the logo of the gym that turned my life around to my Gmail signature, and make the logo a link to their site. I'm fairly experienced with digital graphic art concepts, I've been a GIMP'er for years, yet this one has me stumped. So if you go to http://www.accelerationsport.com/ you'll see their logo in between Home and Weekly schedule. It's a black image with white lettering and a white stick figure. This one, although this displays as entirely white: http://www.accelerationsport.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/ASI_Logo-Reverse-White2-2.png Yet when I right-click on it and choose Copy image, then go to my Gmail settings and paste it into my signature, nothing shows up. Uh? So I opened GIMP and chose to Paste from clipboard. Oh, now it shows up! So I chose Select all, hit copy, and tried again to paste it into my Gmail signature. Yet again, nothing. So on a whim, I inverted the colors, copied, and tried to paste again. Still nothing. I feel like I'm missing something basic here... would anybody please help me discern what that is? Why would this image appear on the webpage as black but be entirely white in GIMP? Why is it entirely white when I choose View image in a new tab? What is going on here?

If you save the PNG, open it in the GIMP and add a new black layer, move the black layer to the bottom, and save the image, you should have one that works. :o) Steve ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
