Hi All,

Forgive this newbie question......

I've got a white UI button with 3D shading and transparency. The white button looks great. I want a red button, so I turned off the green and blue channels (and left on the red and alpha channels). The red button looks great.

A red button is being displayed under GIMP. When I save the red button as a PNG, the button saves as white rather than red. Could someone please explain to me how to save/export to file using GIMP 2.6?

My apologies, Jeff

Are you the same guy I already replied at ubuntuforums.org three days ago? :)

No, but I am working on Ubuntu, and visit the forums from time to time.

Since the topic seems to be trending, I went ahead and wrote a more complete explanation:
