Question
i was wondering how to uploading pictures from "gimp" to "creatoon" you proably dont know but im just trying anyways. because i have no idea how to upload a picture onto the animation program i download, so that it doesnt show the white background of the drawing. ex. i tried drawing pictures in paint, but when i upload it you can see the white background.

Answer
I'm not familiar with those programs, but it sounds like you are have an issue with the alpha channel. If you want the background of your image to appear transparent to other programs you need to save/import with an alpha channel. That's just a seperate layer that saves transparency. TIF or TGA are probably your best bet...

Good luck,
