Answer:
also note that newer gimp does not include alpha channel to layer, you can right click on layer in menu and apply alpha channel, or copy and paste new layer instead of duplicating and adding channel, you can save as xcf, png, gif, or eps for transparency, http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-layer-alpha-add.html http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/graphics_tools/gimp_advanced_guide/gimp_guide_node44.html http://howto.nicubunu.ro/jump_out_gimp/ ..
