An image will always be rectangular but certain formats will permit
transparency. Jpeg is **not** one of those.
Very little change to your procedures.
Open Image, Add an Alpha Channel for transparency, Layers menu ->
Transparency -> Add Alpha Channel.
Make your Elliptical selection, Invert it, Cut it. The transparent
bits are depicted as a checker pattern. Kill the selection. Selection
-> None
Now the important bit. Export your image as a png. File -> Export As
Give the file a name **including** the .png suffix. Just keep the
default settings.
Thank you Rich, but I did use those exact steps. The issue is that even though
the "square" is transparent, it is still there. When I then open the rounded
.png file in Meshcam (the software I am using for the next step in my process)
it is displayed with the square again.
