This problem involves an illo to be used on a book cover in Scribus. Some time back I took a photo of a church with a white sky background (OK very light gray). I was able to select and delete the background so now I have the church plus a transparent background. I saved it as png. When i used it there was a very thin border of white pixels around the outline of the church and its steeples etc. A Photoshop guy said I could select the church, invert so that the background was selected, enlarge the background by a few pixels and delete it again to get rid of the white line. But right now the background is just a transparency.
Currently the illo is in png form, though of course I can go back to the original jpg from the scanner. Using either product, the png or the original jpg, how do I eliminate both the sky and the white line? I want the background to be totally transparent. I have Gimp 2.6.6 on Slackware 13.0 Linux. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
