Gimp: Making Colors in a GIF Transparent

1. Open the Gif file


2. Layer-->Transparency-->Add Alpha Channel


3. Select-->By Color


4. click on the color in the image you want to be transparent. These colors will now show up outlined.


5. Edit-->Clear. This should now erase the outlined color you just picked from the image and the "transparent gimp checkerbox" should show through. This is the Gimps way of showing you that section is now transparent.


6. Choose SAVE AS and make sure to save as a GIF file if you want the transparency to work on the web.

Firewall

Have a firewall between your computer and the internet.

If you are running Windows XP with Service Pack 2, then from the control panel select “security” and make sure the firewall is set to “on”

What would be better is to have a router with a NAT firewall installed between your internet connection and your computer. I use and recommend the Linksys WRT54GL
