So... I may just be stupid and doing something wrong, but I cant get my gimp pictures to work.
In more detail: I use gimp to make the backgrounds in my sprites transparent, but when try to import them in gamesalad, It wont let me. I've tried everything to make it work, but it just wont import. I think its because gimp makes the sprites .xcf files or something along those lines but I don't know. any tips?

    Seems like with the newest Gimp you have to export first which will change your .xcf file to a png. You use to be able to just save it as a .png but something is different now.

    Just export and it will work for you.

    always had to export to .png (to merge the layers …as pngs are 1 layer)

    old version: click save … and if layers … click for okay to merge … click save

    new version click Export and then save

    really annoyed me! … till I realized it less clicks @-)
