I just spoke to someone who tried to get rid of the alpha channel on their image before saving it (his gimp was pre-export stuff). It's true that, even though I knew what I was looking for, it took me a while to find the flatten option. The deceiving thing is that while "<Image>/Image/Alpha/Add alpha channel" exists, the corresponding "Remove alpha channel" is not on the same menu. This is deeply confusing. You have to go to the L&C dialog to get the "flatten" option. And only then, if you know what flatten does, will this make sense. I suggest adding a "Remove alpha channel" option to the <Image>/Image/Alpha/ menu, which just calls the flatten routine. Yes, I know this should be mostly solved with the export stuff, but there are still times when you want to get rid of an alpha channel. Austin
