Outline Crop/Cutout Capability for Image
October 15, 2009 - 00:28 — yourlocalsheriff
Can anybody advise if there is the capability in GIMP to trace the outline of an image and crop it accordingly - I am trying to get rid of the white box that normally surrounds an image after cropping it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

you can't have box around
you can't have box around after cropping the image, is absolutely not normal
That may happen only if you crop only the layer ,not the image
Simple solution is use Image/crop to selection
alpha channel
forget first reply, "crop" confused me i call that "cut"
if you have no transparency but white is because your imagine has no alpha (= transparency ) channel
you may add it from Layer/transparency/add alpha channel
you may try if the ffat script speed up, but know about of the transparency channel (alpha channel) is important
No alpha= no transparency= added solid color (that active for BG )
Trying to remove the background?
If you are trying to remove the background, this script:

Another way to remove background
Select white area with magic wand. Grow selection by 2px or so. Invert selection, press delete on keyboard.
Then you should be able to autocrop the image just fine :D
