Thanks for the reply. That was my first thought, too but that was not the case.

I found out in the meantime however that in order to obtain transparency one needs to add a transparent Alpha Channel to the layer. A little odd - I have worked with different programms like Photoshop, Fireworks and this was never necessary.

However the Foreground extraction tool works great.
