I am a newbie when it comes to GIMP -- this has probably been asked before but I hope someone here can help.

I have a GIF drawing on a white background - its an animation with 3 frames. Is there a way to remove the white background, in effect making it almost transparent?

backgrounds are handled special - that is to say you need to add an alpha channel to it, then you can "select by color" the white area and clear it to make it transparent.

best thing to do would be to lift your art off the background, and make it a transparent layer.
