I am stumped with how to make the background of the copied faces transparent, so I don't have a bunch of little squares and ellipses. I am sure Gimp is capable of selecting the backgrounds of my thumbnails and rendering them transparent. Would somebody please help me understand how to ask it to do that? First, be sure you have an alpha channel. Other than that, it depends on the backgrounds. If they are complex, the scissors select tool, while cumbersome, can be helpful. -- Burnie ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

There are two ways around this: you can convert the image in Gimp to indexed color (yuck, but compatible; not suitable for all types of images), or use terrible scary IE hacks to make it render alpha transparency (looks great, but doesn't always work depending on IE version and security settings).
