Hi, chris.danx [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Is it possible to make all pixels of a given colour transparent? Yes, select by color and clear that selection. There is a tool to select pixels by color.

Basically I want to duplicate a selection in the background layer, put it in a transparent layer with only the non-white pixels opaque. Maybe there's a better way to do this? Add layer mask, Select by colour on layer, activate mask, fill selection with black. Or, select by colour, quickmask, copy the mask (in the channels dialog), and apply that mask as a layer mask.

Sorry for the delay - it's now Sunday and this post only just arrived. Short answer: Image/Select/Select by Color should do it. If you want to make the selected (or not selected) pixels transparent, make sure you have an alpha channel. You can't do this on the background layer. An alternative is the Image/Filters/Colors/Color_to_alpha plug-in. Experiment with both of these and see what works for you. -- --Jeff Jeff Trefftzs [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tcsn.net/trefftzsHome Page http://gug.sunsite.dk/gallery.php?artist=68 Gimp Gallery http://trefftzs.topcities.com/ Photo Gallery ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
