you need to save it as a gif or png. Also remember that not all browsers support gif or png transparency properly (specifically Internet Explorer).

I did it by opening a new file, transparent background. typing the words,
running the Script-Fu alpha to logo, Basic I.

But it does not come out with a transparent background.

I've tried various adjustments, such as copy visible, paste to new file with transparent background. It looks transparent in GIMP, but on the webpage it is not transparent.

Any ideas how I can get my logo to lose it's unwanted background?

Thanks, Helen, using SuSE 10.0, Gimp 2.2.10

What format did you save the logo and what browser are you trying to display with?

That was the problem - I had it in .jpg. Changed it to .png and it works (firefox, seamonkey).

Thanks for the hint.

Good. Glad to help.
