[Gimp-user] Transparent Photo

[rich2005 <forums gimpusers com>]

edit: Hate this mailing list format.

If you plan on using the final image on say a web page.

You will not eventually need the bottom white layer, delete that as required.

Save your work as a Gimp xcf file which preserves all/any layers and settings.

When complete, Export the image as a .png file which flattens to a single layer
but importantly preserves the transparency .

Other formats will lose transparency.
