	transparency by Norman Silverstone :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I have a photograph of a black hexagon on a white background and I would like to make the background transparent so that I can lay this onto another image. I have tried and not made much progress and would be grateful if some kind person could please point me in the right direction.

Select the white region by color. In the Layer -> Transparency menu, add an alpha channel. In the same menu, set "Color to alpha". This should make the white background to transparent.

I selected the white region by colour and in the Layer-> Transparency menu added an alpha channel. However, the set Colour to Alpha setting remained greyed out of action. What have I missed, please?

	Re: transparency by subverted :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Like he said, changed it to RGB if it's not already. in the layers toolbox, right click on the layer and in the menu that comes up click "add alpha channel". Then use the eraser tool on the area you want erased just to see if it works. On Sun, Apr 27, 2008 at 12:01 PM, norman <norman@...> wrote: > Convert the image to RGB mode if it's not already.
