A bit about using a photo here. Only skimmed through it, but if it takes the
image as a height map then there will be a bit of processing to do before
putting it into your project. Probably a white background will not matter.

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
