Not the best way, guessing some sort of selection to choose the background leaving semi-transparent pixels around the text. A jpeg especially tends to promote artefacts around text. A better way. Remove the background using Colour -> Colour-to-Alpha White is default Lock the transparent pixels on the layer using the alpha lock in the layers dialogue. Bucket fill the layer with the d3d3d3 gray. Add a new layer under and fill with the darker gray. Something like this is best exported as a png which because of the 2 colours is smaller than a jpeg. screenshot and xcf is attached. xcf should still have alpha lock in place as example. rich: www.gimp-forum.net Attachments: * http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/818/original/no-selection.jpg * http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/819/original/scale.xcf -- rich404 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
