: Turn semitransparent PNG image into a white silhouette, preserving transparency I have an PNG image like this with a transparent background: How can I change the image color to white, and keep

@Tiffany317

Other ways to do this:


Open the Channels dialog and de-select the alpha channel. Then use Bucket Fill in "Fill whole selection" mode.


or:


Use Layer → Mask → Add Layer Mask... and select "Transfer layer's alpha channel". Then use Bucket Fill as above on the content of the layer (not on the mask).

There are several quick ways to reduce an image to transparent white tones. From the Colors menu select one of these


Threshold...: slide black (left side) to 0.
Colorize...: slide Lightness to 100.
Curves...: slide black (left) to the top (white).
Bucket Fill White: Fill mode Lighten Only or Addition.


Any of these procedures will lead to the following transparent white image:



Note that due to the transparency a colored background will shine through your image.

So you need to select the layer contents to change it's color:


Right-click on the layer and select Alpha to selection

Or go to: Layers > Transperency > Alpha to Selection

Then fill with white using the Bucket Fill.
