This was my second tutorial ever and the quality is not very good, so I apologize for that. However, there are some pretty good concepts dealing with various Gradient blend modes, in contrast to Layer blend modes.

Hope you find something you can add to your bag of tricks!

You mean saving it so whatever is transparent remains transparent? If so, Yes! Save it as a gif or a png. Gifs are limited to 256 colors though, so they don't always look the best, but they are what you use for animations. Pngs have unlimited colors so they always look good, but can't be used in animations. Let me know if you need additional info.

Well, if you save it as a png, you can tell GIMP to save the transparency, but it won't save the layers.....pngs only allow images with one layer. gifs allow for multiple layer images, but those are animations.

hmmm..... but gif only has a limited amount of colors. i saved it as that once, and it screwed my picture up.... is there something that will save both transparency and the layers?

No. Unless you're talking about saving layers/transparency for later use in GIMP and not as a "final" image which you wish you post. For that, you can save it in GIMP's native xcf format, but I suspect you already know that and that's not what you're asking for. Unfortunately, to show it off as an animation with transparency, you'll have to use a gif. Either that or you'll have to save each animation frame as an individual png and then use a movie making program to compile the individual pictures into a movie-type file.
