Hi Charles, Can you use Gimp? It is like a 'poor human's PhotoShop"? Try plcaing the jpg on another background to see if the check background indicates transparency.

MS Paint? MS Word? Libre Draw? I have a free .jpg from a free site but it has a checked background I want to replace with white. Any Apub users? Thank you. Charles.
