So just to sure I understand: 1) Don't save to jpg because it doesn't support transparency. 2) Use gif or png instead. 3) To be polite to Win users, if using a png format - change mode to indexed. Correct? Steve ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Text on transparent background
I'm a Gimp newbie and I'm trying to create my company 'black text' logo on a transparent background and save it as a jpg to be used on my web site. Transparency and jpg are (AFAIK) a contradiction - jpg doesn't support transparency. I'm doing fine with the whole process except the transparancy issue. Every time I try this I end up with my text logo on a white background. How do I get a transparent background when saving to a jpg format? Use a different file format (e.g. png or gif support transparency - where png's transparency is not fully supported by Internet Explorer, IE only uses transparency in png in indexed mode) Andreas ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
