Transparent Background
How do make an image have a transparent background? I recently made my sig and don't like how the background doesn't match the Scratch background. The RBG numbers for the scratch background would also be good. RSVRGB would be even better.
Thanks

I noticed it says JPEG plug in can not handle transparency
Any images file types that can?

Re: Transparent Background
Try PNGs with alpha transparency.

I saved it as a .xcf file but I didn't notice the white background until I converted it to .jpgWell, jpeg's don't support transparency. That's your problem.

Re: Transparent Background
Either PNG or GIF would work, but I recommend PNG because GIF takes away some color quality. The only time you should use a GIF is if you want to make an animated image, then GIFS are your only option.

Re: Transparent Background
ON GIMP:
Delete the background layer and make a new layer that's transparent.
Then save it as a png.
