alright im playing with gimp inserting a logo into a wallpaper but i want just the logo without the white around it(its an airforce logo the wings one) so is there a way to make the color white on the layer transparent? thanks for your help


EDIT: alright from playing around i got to this: http://img208.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f221024aw8.jpg

but it still has small white lines around it which become very apparent when set on my desktop is there an easy eay to remove these?

Use this tutorial. Its basicly the same concept except use the logo as your B&W image, and the background as your color image. OR you can give me both images and i can do it for you.

Just a thought.

If you aren't trying to be specific to Gimp, this could be easily whipped in Adobe. If you got both pics, of the airforce logo and bg.. post it here; of course, this if you aren't trying to learn how to do it in Gimp but rather just want to get rid of the white pixels around it.
