The image has been saved with (apparently) CMYK formated colors. The issue is that the CMYK representation they say should give the desired RGB formated colors is not actually doing this. What I get is distinctly not what they indicated it should be. I have now tried 7 different applications to convert this image correctly (not Illustrator or Photoshop as I don't have access to these). Hi First of all, does the EPS contain an ICC color profile? Do you have the color profile at all? Did you use it when you tried opening the EPS in those 7 applications?

No. The checkboard pattern is configurable (see Preferences/Display) but the pattern or color you choose is not actually a layer. It's just a way of showing where in the image some level of transparency exists through the existing layers. You can't see, for example, your desktop through that transparent area, however. -- Michael J.

Thanks, Adonj _ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user The gray squares are there to make it obvious that the picture has a transparency (alpha) layer. If it is visible, then the opacity of the other layers is less than 100% or the other visible layers do not cover the entire image. When I use the alpha layer but don't want the gray squares to bother me, I'll typically insert a white background layer underneath all the other image layers. Then I turn off the background layer before exporting the image to png (jpg doesn't support transparency).

You can preview the transparency by using the GAP player (Filters-Animation-Playback). When the player dialog opens, right click on the canvas area and choose Detach. Then drag the canvas area over your desktop. The animation will playback over your desktop with transparency rendered. It may not be a perfect render, but it should work. Saving to PNG preserves full transparency but I don't think PNGs support animation (use MNG instead, I believe). I could be wrong about that as I don't do much with animations. Saving as GIF will reduce the palette to 256 colors and reduce multiple-levels of transparency (re: 0%-100%) to a single state of transparency (pixels are either fully transparent or they are not). Animated GIFs play fine in web browsers. PNGs (non-animated) with transparency work well in modern browsers but suck in older versions of MSIE. That's the browsers fault, not PNGs fault. -- Michael J.

[Gimp-user] Re: Make transparent layer invis ible
I use the GAP player when I need to. Saving to PNG will have layers merged or flattened. That doesn't work for animations. Saving as GIF is my final result. To demonstrate the problem I'm having: In my animation I have two identical frames of an object surrounded by a transparent background which is represented by small gray squares. If I move the object slightly in one frame, then play the animation, and detach the image, then drag the image which is now stepping from one frame to the other to the desktop screen, the area around the object which has had the object displaced, shows some of the gray squares each time the image steps to this displaced image frame. _ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Yeah, you have to save as MNG instead, I'm pretty sure. But MNG probably isn't supported in web browsers all that well. I assume you're trying to do this for the web or you wouldn't even consider GIF animations. Saving as GIF is my final result.
