I think photoshop seems to add one to jpgs too?
At least if I open a jpg and then duplicate the background layer then use the ereaser tool on the top layer it erases too transparancy not white like in gimp.
I must admit I am confused abt all this and probably just need to use gimp more to realize the differences and how it works.
Well this is a choice made by Adobe... and in this case it doesn't make much sense, because when you have two layers that are an exact copy of each other above one another, when you erase the top one you see exactly the same thing from the bottom one
In Gimp you would do that to keep a "backup" of the original layer, and erasing in the top layer, producing white, would give you what you will obtain when you export back to JPG.
