The PNG background color semantics are very different from the proposed XCF bg color. In fact, PNG provides a presentation hint for the image's environment, rather than specifying the image's colors. I have recently posted my analysis somewhere upstream on this thread. My conclusion is that importing as layers is independent from the image background color. It should not modify this color. > I think 50% grey (#bababa) is a better default BG color for when a > default is needed. no opinion on that from my side. I chose white solely to match the current default image's color. greetings, peter _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
