Image background transparency not detected

[Ohgodmanyo]

So when I get a transparent image from google, I put it in paint.net, and it is not transparent, It is showing the canvas gray and white thing. My background is red, but the transparancy isn't detected. If you guys could help it would be much appreciated. (Also when I put the paint bucket on the transparency, it won't do translucent layers, so please do other methods than the paintbucket on transparent layer method.)

but it still is not blending in. It is a download from the internet. I could use magic wand, but parts of it are translucent.

Hello @Ohgodmanyo and welcome to the form

 

There is a neat free background remover found here:  https://www.remove.bg/

How would I delete an alpha layer, and keep the transparency of some parts? Thanks for the help.

Some parts?

If what you need is to use a layer's transparency on other layers or images, you can do it by using @BoltBait's Paste Alpha plugin. There are also a number of other plugins you can find by searching "alpha" on the Plugin Index.

I found it out! The image I was using had a fake transparent background. It makes me angry to think why they would post a transparent image fake.

Slow down there @Ohgodmanyo. I'm sure the image wasn't intended to deceive. Had they posted a transparent image, the transparency would have been invisible when you viewed it. By adding the gray & white checkerboard they indicate that those areas will be transparent when you download the image.

 

The trick here is to download the image and not use right-click + copy.
