I had heard of this new tool (SIOX) in GIMP for extracting foregrounds or backgrounds. So I installed the GIMP and gave it a try. Everything works great however since I am new to GIMP I have one little problem:

- I select the item in the image I want to extract with the foreground extraction tool.

- Then I invert the selection.

- Then I press DEL to remove the background like I am used to from working with Fireworks. However instead of getting a transparent background the background turns completely white. Then I tried to use the rubber tool but it does not remove the background but simply paints it in white, too.

Any help would be appreciated.
