Converting jpegs to pngs
It used to be that I could take any ,jpg file, then save it as a .png so that I would have a transparent background in order to render the pic. Now, for whatever reason, when converted the background remains white. What setting has changed that I can no longer get a transparent background after the .png conversion? Gimp V. 2.6.8.

Make sure that the image has an alpha channel and that there are transparent parts before exporting.
That was it! In checking while saving as a .png, the save transparent pixels was grayed out. Took the original .jpg and clicked on Layers > Transparency > Add alpha channel and erased some of the background to confirm. No more white....only transparency. In all these years I suppose I've been lucky with the many .jpg pics I've rendered because I've never encountered this before.
I can't begin to thank everyone for your rapid responses and helping me learn something and resolving this perceived "problem".
Again, thank you very much.
