No. Each pixel stores 3 bytes of color information and one byte of transparency information. When you resize the canvas to make it larger, all of the new pixels are transparent (except on the background layer if one is present). The option "Keep Trans" option makes the GIMP's tools (all of them) modify only the color information. When Keep Trans is unchecked, the tools will operate on color information and transparency information. (Photoshop has a similar feature.) -- PGP/GPG Fingerprint: D5E2 8839 6ED3 3305 805C 941F 9476 A9BD E2B2 CAD1 Import with `gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key E2B2CAD1` Also on www: http://wwwcsif.cs.ucdavis.edu/~bloom/kabloom.asc For more information about PGP and GPG, see http://www.gnupg.org/
