Befuddled for sure. Just learning (?) Gimp.
I have a simple 1000x1000 px image with a ring in it touching each edge.
The background is transparent. This is great. I use this as a basis for making icons by putting an image inside the ring and saving it as a png.
I also change the color of the icon with a simple flood fill.
Currently the entire background is transparent, which works, but what it want is for the 4 corner "pies" to be 100% transparent so it appears as a circle, but I want the area inside the ring to be 30%, so when I use it in a web page it shows some of the background through it, but the corners are completely invisible.
I have tried watching videos, reading, etc. but I have to say the whole layer thing stumps me. If there is a video, website, or actual instructions that someone can recommend, I would really appreciate it!
