I HATE MY GIMP!

[JG.]

I HATE MY GIMP!!!!!!!!! Antway, to the topic. I have just downloaded GIMP 2.6.2. Remember that number. Before i had GIMP 2.6.1. Remember that aswell. On GIMP 2.6.1 i could render without a problem and save them too. And when i opened then i could still see right thruogh it. On GIMP 2.6.2, my new one, i can render it so before i save it i can see through it but then i save it, as a .jpg, and then when i open it again the parts i could see though are white! Damn it! But anyways here's how i do it on BOTH versions:

 

Layers - Add alpha channel

Pen tool - click around image

ctrl-I (Invert selection)

ctrl-X (Cut)

Save the image as jpg.

 

That's the way i did on GIMP 2.6.1. I doesn't work on GIMP 2.6.2. It works fine all the way untill save. Then when i open again the rendered parts are white which is BAD!

 

Please help!

Don't ever save renders as .JPG

.PNG is the god file to save as ;)

and is the only one I konw that saves renders

IT WORKS!!!!!

JPG will flatten the image as it saves, therefore you have a white background.

 

Renders should be either GIF (lower quality) or PNG.
