[Gimp-user] transparency question (I did read the FAQ)

[Neil Zanella <nzanella@cs.mun.ca>]

Hello,

I have a gif image enclosed by a black borderline
and possibly other colors. The outside of the
image completely white. I want to change the
white color to transparent EXCEPT FOR the
image itself contains some white. Thus
if I use the method outlined in the
FAQ I would have some pixeld in
the interior parts of the image
also turn transparent which is
not what I want.

Thus I would like to literally
"fill with transparent" as is
done with the GIMP bucket of
paint except for the paint
"color" should be "colorless"
(i.e. transparent).

Thanks,

Neil
