DarkClown Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I'm really excited .... JPEG Export now seems to work without background as well (Transparency?) Since I was offered to select between "Selection with background" and "Selection without background" I don't think this is purely a spelling mistake - Regrettfully the exported JPG did not show up with transparency ... but I wasn't to disappointed *G* Quote i7-12700KF, 3.60 GHz, 32GB RAM, SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, Wacom Intuos 4 Tablet, Windows 11 Pro - AP, AD and APublisher V1 and V2https://www.timobierbaum.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 "Selection without background" means just what it says; the background around the selection is omitted. You'll only get transparency if the output format supports transparency, and JPG format doesn't.

Staff MEB Posted February 2, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 2, 2021 Hi DarkClown, Background there means anything (other objects/layers in background) but what's selected, not the canvas background explicitly.

Canvas: Exported to JPEG using the ‘Selection with background’ option: Exported to JPEG using the ‘Selection without background’ option: Because the JPEG format doesn’t support transparency, the background in the last example is white.

SusB Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I am puzzled by the fact that JPEG doesn't support transparency. I have a photo from which I somehow removed the background and pasted into my book cover. Unfortunately, it was only 96 DPI and should be 300 DPI. But now I cannot figure out how I pasted without the background. The book cover has three overlapping, transparent photos. The one I'm concerned about it the middle one. How did I do that?

You might have used a PNG rather than a JPG. placed the image with its background, and used a mask to remove the background. opened the JPG, made a pixel selection of the part you wanted, copied the selection, and pasted that over the other images.
