Very likely because by default it is a transparent GIF (btw, IMHO PNG is much better than GIF). Convert must have an option to set a background. But if you use the images in a web site, you can leave them that way, and have the HTML display them over a go-ban picture (or any wooden pattern). (side note: at that point GIMP is no longer involved, so I'm wondering if this can can continue on the Gimp-user list). _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
