FIGURED IT OUT NVM

Downloading transparent png on Google with a white transparent background:

I download the png. I open as layer. Then it shows a white transparent back that has not only white squares but light gray. When I move the image around the true transparent background shows. I have looked into countless forums and can't find a solution.

Some of the pngs I download do work. How do I know this? Because when I have my background photo and add the png over top that white transparent background doesn't show.
In fact, when I open it in GIMP I can see another darker gray and gray squared background that is the actual transparency. 

Say I want to have a mountain range background photo. Then I want to use a campire png that is only showing the logs and fire and no background, when I move that image opn top of the main background my image is showing a white background. Looking closely I can see there is indeed a white and gray squared background that is supposed to be transparent when adding it on top of another image. 

I have used the transparency > alpha selection > export as png and still doesnt work. I'm not gonna draw an outline of every single image that says it's supposed to be transparent, to get that transparent background. It's just not working.

What am I doing wrong? Are these images run threw another app that makes it lose transparency, say, Windows Paint?
The first image shows the 2 different transparent backgrounds.
The second shows a book that doesn't have a background since it's transparent but the other one does show that white background.

I have a color image that I want to convert to grey scale / black & white. I can't find a tool or filter to do this. Did I miss something?

I cannot find this  under the image menu bar?  I am running GIMP 2.10.20 (revision 1),

Help appreciated 

The GIMP user interface is now available in two modes:

multi-window mode,

single window mode.

When you open GIMP for the first time, it opens in single-window mode by default. You can enable multi-window mode unchecking Windows → >Single-Window Mode) option in the image menu bar. After quitting GIMP, GIMP will start in the mode you have selected next time.

Hi there,

Where do I get newest version of GMIC for MAC?

I was able to install GMIC on MAC for GIMP 2.10.14

I got the GMIC plugin from https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-plu...n/releases
It seems the GMIC version I have is 2 years old.

I got error messages for some of the filter I want to use, such for 
- Layers -> Blend [Seamless]
- Extract Foreground [Interactive]


So where do I get newer version of GMIC for MAC?

Thanks, Kalem

Basically, what I'm looking for is a way to use "Select By Color", but I can drag around to select multiple colors. I'm working with a limited palette (with more than 255 colors, so an Indexed Colormap wouldn't help), but I want to find duplicate colors (i.e two colors that are near-identical and should be one color to make the palette simpler), so using a higher Tolerance defeats the purpose I want.

Hi, it's me. (Who is me? I dunno man.)

Anyway, I think I'll make this quick.

Here is a rough 20x20 circle at 800%.



Is there a quick way I can select the border like this,



rather than like this?



Oh and BTW I turned antialiasing off for border selections and then couldn't find the switch again. Must have been in Preferences, but I just looked there and I lost it, so no more antialiasing border selections for me. Ah well, I want it that way usually anyway, since I'm mostly just working with pixel stuff.

And I also just uploaded to ImgBB because the top bar didn't have options to attach images, but now that I'm about to post it, I see the part at the bottom, so that's a bit silly.
