I am trying to do this and have tried multiple suggestions from the help doc. I have created a new layer but it doesn't seem to be for the background and I can't use it for anything. I have used the foreground selection tool but can't do anything with that. And I can't turn it off! I opened the dockable dialog feature but couldn't get anywhere that way. I tried Layer-Transparency-Add Alpha Channel but when I hit delete it just deleted the whole image. I tried a forum or two but no replies and I can't remember which one(s) they were anyway. Are there any recommended forums for new GIMP users? I posted my question on the GIMP Facebook page but no reply. I even emailed the webmasters and nothing! I switched to GIMP because my old Photoshop program quit working. But GIMp seems to be just as overwhelmingly confusing for a casual user like me and Adobe had a much more direct way of getting help from their forums. Help!
