Someone did a really nice tutorial on this issue recently and posted the url to this list. Of course I don't know where a searchable archive is so that does not help much does it?

Re: [Gimp-user] Convert solid white background to transparent
I'm no expert, so others may have a better solution Depending on how much white there is in the rest of the image, you could: add alpha, select by color (white) cut Note, you're remove all white though. The most difficult part is going to be selecting just the white background. Once you select color, you can 'deselect' sections of the image with the other selection tools before 'cutting'.

[Gimp-user] Convert solid white background to transparent
I have a picture from the Harley Davidson web site of an Ultra with a solid white background. Shouldn't there be a simple way of converting the white background to transparent automatically? ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
