ok i am using the image program thing called GIMP. and i was wondering if anyone knew how to make images transparent on it and be able to save it as a transparent image as a .JPEG file. Can someone help me out?

THX!!!

jpgs can't be transparent. To save a transparent image, save it in a format that actually supports it (gif, png, etc). For gif, just make sure it's either grayscale (go to Image > Mode > Grayscale) or indexed (Image > Mode > Indexed) and hit save. For png, hit save and uncheck Save Background Color when the box pops up.

But i dont think GIMP lets you save stuff to be GIF's, or does it?

Yes it does. Like zetsubou said, just go to image > mode >indexed. Then save the image as pickarandomfilename.gif

You might need to grab the LZW libraries (http://www2.arnes.si/~sopjsimo/gimp/old.html).

Thx alot without your help i wouldnt have known that i had to download something else to save images as gif's on GIMP!

THX!!!
