That would be preferably PNG, but GIF would work as well. to a file format which supports transparency. įinally, export the transparent image with File → Export As. Once the desired transparency area is selected, simply hit. To fix this, you will have to choose a different. When this happens, use +Drag with a Select tool of your choice to select a subtractive selection area. When exporting to jpeg, GIMP fills the transparent areas with the background color, which by default is white. Drag the saved file to GIMP or open it as a layer and that appears to maintain the transparency. Another workaround seems to be to save the image instead of copying from the browser. Do select BG colour fill and Sample merged and run a few tries while adjusting Threshold for best results. Probably lead to some weird effects if you have black in your layer elsewhere. Within the Bucket Fill toolbox options, select Fill transparent areas only when necessary. In this case, and barely visible, nine desired pixels in the middle of the pipe were also selected for deletion. Select the bucket fill tool or hit Shift+ B. Some of the desired image area might be selected as well because the colour matched. In between, hit + to undo.Īt times, it proves difficult to get the colour selection exactly right. Again, run a few tries while adjusting Threshold for best results. I’m not sure why GIMP doesn’t include the option to visualize the layer mask as a translucent overlay, but maybe there’s a trick to it that I’m not aware of. Nonetheless, do experiment with these settings and choose what looks best. You can also hold down the Ctrl + Alt keys ( Command + Option on Mac) and click on the layer mask thumbnail in the Layers panel. For this particular example I chose not to apply Antialiasing nor Feather edges. This time around, do select Fill transparent areas as well as Sample merged. It might be tempting to perform Colour to Transparency, however this would also change semi-transparent areas within the desired image area. The right thing to do now is Select → By Colour. Expected result: This is what the PNG image looks like pasted on a black background in Gimp 2.8. Do a Gaussian blur with radius 50 (clamped). However, one can also use the eyedropper tool to pick a colour from anywhere on the desktop. Reproduction steps: Create an image with some white text and a black background. Here, I used f3f3e9 as a background colour for plain colour filling. (In this respect, Adobe Photoshop is no different.) Hence, choose a colour which is compatible with the background on which the resulting picture will eventually be used.Ĭlick on the background colour rectangle in the upper half of the Tool Options toolbox window to change the background colour. Some colour mixing will be inevitable and even desired. Do select BG colour fill and Sample merged and run a few tries while adjusting Threshold for best results. The next step is optional and consist in filling the area that should become transparent with a plain colour. This is done by selecting Layer → Tranparency → Add Alpha Channel. If this is the case, add an alpha transparency channel. Some image types lack a transparency channel JPG for example.
It can of course, be changed in Gimp preferences.Note: This tutorial is also available in PDF. The default Gimp state of saving settings for the next session always causes problems for unwary beginners. Gimp uses that colour to replace any transparency. Sometime in the past the FG / BG colours were swapped The BG colour is now black. Most probably a setting that is in the Gimp profile and the Gimp profile is not removed / changed by a reinstall - up to you to fix that.

I do not know why Windows users think that continually reinstalling solves a problem. Something funny with the computer, or a Gimp glitch.
