..render...?
I'm stupid..well, if you have a picture with a white background and you make it transparent so..I guess I'm asking how you take away the background? I dont know..
Yes, that's a render (Taking an image, and removing the backround, so just the "stock," as it's called, remains).
To be honest, it's simple if somewhat time consuming, and hopefully you can understand what I'm speaking of because I currently don't have screencaps avaliable to help further.
1) Open the picture in GIMP
2) In the GIMP menu, you'll see something that looks like a hand holding a line with square dots on it (I have no clue what the tool is called, my GIMP's in Japanese...long story).
3) With this tool you can make a render. To do so, simply go the edges of the stock, and click. You'll see a transparent dot. Continue to do this all the way around the stock, making sure you don't miss anything; it'll look like a long string with dots on it by the end. (Just as a tip, zoom the image in to about 400% so you can see the lines better).
4) Check the stock over, and move the dots as you see fit. In other words, if a line isn't close enough to the edge of the stock, simply move the dot in further. You can also do this with the lines in between, but I prefer just using the dots.
5) After you've checked everything over, hit the enter button on your keyboard.
6) Next, go to the menu that says, "Layer." Then go to "Transparency," and hit, "Add Alpha Channel."
7) Then, go to "Select," and hit "Invert Image."
8 ) Go to "Edit," and then something that says something to the effect of "Clear" (There should be a paintbrush icon right next to it).
9) Save your image, but make sure the extension is .PNG.
10) As a tip again, keep the image open, and look at the render after you saved it. That way, if you need to fix something, you can undo the clearing and such, and fix it.
To be honest, there seems to be several ways to make transparent backrounds, but this is how I learned it, and how I've always done it.
If you need anything clarified, please let me know, but be forewarned that I do not have screencaps at this point. If you need screencaps, I can't get those until tomorrow.
I want to know too~
