a. You don't need to change the size, as The GIMP already knows the |
| 12 |
dimensions of what you have in the clipboard. |
| 13 |
5. On the "New Dialog", click Advanced Options. |
| 14 |
6. Click on the drop down box that is labeled "Fill With:" and select |
| 15 |
Transparency, and press OK |

9. Anchor the layer (Ctrl+H) |
| 19 |
10.Now you have a background transparent. Two layers. Choose the Erase tool and |
| 20 |
erase at will :) |

11. There are some GIMP techniques on the Internet to use masks and all that |
| 22 |
advanced and cool stuff, sorry but I don't have time to give you the link. I'll |
| 23 |
post it as soon as I get home. I've to leave work right now. |
