--- Comment #13 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Agree, the "Color Replacer" dialog widget can set color(s) representing image
"background" transparent (or to any other color) as in OP request.  So that is
WFM also.

But as Regina notes, it also would need the masking of the contour editor to
prevent removing/changing color(s) within the body of the image to 

And, expect that would require edge detection beyond current capabilities to
have good anti-aliasing of the result. Based on target color alone, even at 1%
tolerance, replacement edge is rough. So mixed results and dependence on
content of image being manipulated.

This is already simple to do in GIMP, PhotoShop or Corel Draw, and preparing
image outside of LO--but would be a rough road in Draw/Impress. Does it merit
the dev effort? Probably not and => WF

@Armin -- any thought as to effort, or if existing bitmap capabilities can be
repurposed?
