I am updating src/using/web.xml and I found a paragraph that feels very wrong. http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-using-web-transparency.html To point out my complaint, consider: Step 1: use wilber image Step 2: Verify you have an alpha channel The next step, things feel very wrong: Step 3: You can now remove the background layer to get a completely transparent background, or create a gradient from color to transparency. You are only limited by your imagination. To demonstrate the capabilities of alpha transparency, we'll make a soft glow in the background around our Wilber. ********* Complaints: Complaint 1: "You can now remove the background layer to get a completely transparent background" I do not have a background layer to remove. The image (http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/images/using/preparing_for_web1.png) has only one layer named background, which includes Wilber and the background. I assume that this means that I can use an erase to erase the blue and white background. Complaint 2: "create a gradient from color to transparency." This has not yet been covered in the documentation (up to this point). I do see a menu option for Colors > Colors to alpha, but I am not clear how this helps me obtain the soft glow in the background around Wilber. Complaint 3: "To demonstrate the capabilities of alpha transparency, we'll make a soft glow in the background around our Wilber." I suppose that this should read: "To demonstrate the capabilities of alpha transparency, the author used transparency to make a soft glow in the background around our Wilber." I have no idea how to cause this effect. ****************** If anyone has an opinion on this section, please say so, otherwise, I will make radical changes to this one paragraph. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt My Book: http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/oome.htm Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php See Also: http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/index.html _______________________________________________ Gimp-docs mailing list Gimp-docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-docs
