What format did you save the file in? To display an image with a transparent color on a webpage, you need a PNG file.

Dear GIMP users,

First of all I would like to say that GIMP is a great piece of software, i've
been using it since a few days and for a newbie like myself it;s rather straightforward. Yet now I encounter an obstacle which I can't seem to pass,
it's probably very easy to fix but I just don't see it. In my webpage header I putted a logo. First, I made the logo background (which
was white) transparant in GIMP and saved the file. Second I putted the logo in
my header, yet the logo doesnt seem to be transparant as it is in the saved file
because the blue header background colour is lighter at the place of the logo.

I hope you guys understand my question, to make it more clear see the attachment
for the file.

any help/tips would be higly appreciated !

regards, Robert

Hi Robert,

you can easily manipulate transparency values in different color adjustement tools. One could be Colors / Curves. Be sure to check the "Alpha" channel where you can handle all the (semi)transparent pixels. Then move the bottom point a little to the right, in the background you'll see that the slightly gray pixels will vanish and the background will shine through completely. See tge attached file for more clarification.

Best regards, Bernhard
