To cut out the areas you want to make transparent you could use the free select tool or the fuzzy select.

Here's when you use fuzzy select(I had to use a different image to make it more clear.) ::How to make a picture transperant on Gimp 2.6 4jnmgp

Here's what you end up with(I kept the outline to show you what i did.)

good guide, but just one question that i don't see here is how does it remove the actual background or does it do it on it's own?. usually when you're aiming to make a picture transparent, your removing a particular object out of the picture and making it transparent, EX:

How to make a picture transperant on Gimp 2.6 Exampl10

The picture on the left has a green BG that i want to remove to make the image transparent; the picture on the right shows a dotted line wrapped around the object that i want to keep and remove the rest so that it will look like the image below:

How to make a picture transperant on Gimp 2.6 Transp10

now that the BG is taken out, i can leave it transparent like this so that it can blend into any background chosen or i can make a new avie or signature with it.

remember when making a guide to give full step by step instructions so that members can follow along clearly without posting alot of questions =0). Once the guide is more clearly detailed, i will approve it to be joined with the other guides. Thanks

Great guide!
But it would been better if you showed a picture to see how it turned out.
