[edit.. another day, another thought Is this for a computer desktop image ? Various ways to go if that is the case )
If you have the checker pattern around your picture something like this, then you have more than one layer.
Going back to the original question; Should the background be white or some other colour?
It can be anything you like. A colour, another pattern, a photo frame effect. What exactly is the purpose you intend?
Make sure you Save the image as Gimp .xcf file and that leaves scope for editing in the future.
Rich just to let you know that screen photo is the same as im getting when i pull the photo up, on the top bar only one layer is open.
also i am on a laptop windows 10 with gimp 2-0-22.
if i start on a blank screen (new) then load a photo it comes on as your photo above.
sorry to keep on but its very frustrating as it should on be a three minute job. if your busy dont worry i,ll have a break from it try reading up another way. cheers
