The issue is that even though the "square" is transparent, it is still there. When I then open the rounded .png file in Meshcam (the software I am using for the next step in my process) it is displayed with the square again. -- Huntleybill (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

[Gimp-user] Converting an image from square to round question
I have attached an image of a dog I would like to use for a project. The picture is square and I wanted it to be round. I used the tools in Gimp 2 to get the round shape I need but there is still the white square visible. When I paste this image into my project, it shows the white square background. I need to get rid of the white square background and keep the circle and everything in it. How do I make that happen? Thank you in advance for your help Bill -- Huntleybill (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
