I last used Gimp some years ago when I was doing some screen printing and at that time I had no problem saving my work in its finished form.
However, as a new user again after about an 8 year layoff, I find myself struggling to do what should be a most basic operation, saving my work in its completed form.
I have a graphic illustration from which I need to remove a solid color background. Having done so, then I can then set the foreground object in another design. I have had no problem with removing the background, but when I try to export it to my desktop in jpg format, it saves the file with a white background which is still present when I drop this image into my other design.
If anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong (if in fact I am), or what I might do to remedy this situation, I would be very grateful.
