how do i set transparency
 

what program could i best use to set transparency i tried photo shop but that gives a ugly blure to surrounding pixels

If you use paint shop pro I can help you.
Otherwise I can't.

Microsoft Photo editor, Neopaint, things like that. Also, mke sure that the pixels around the image, are the same color as the background, sometimes if you've been messing around with blending, or have resized the image, they change colors, and you can only have one transparent color methinks.

k ty butz alexh how do i do it in paint shop pro than :(

Photoshop = Use eraser tool. That or set a matte color, and fill the matte color in with the paint bucket to the place you want transparent.

In Paint Shop Pro make all the parts of the image you want transparent any colour that isn't in the actual graphic.

Then at the drop down menus it's colours > set palette transparecy.
Small window pops up click okay to close that window and it will bring up another window.
Now with that window up click on the part of the image you want transparent and that will make that part transparent. Make sure the dot is in the bottom option.
Click okay and your done.

Giffy is a very useful program, if you draw all your stuff in Paint, like me. ;)

Search for it on google, or on these forums actually, I think I attatched it to a thread once.

THANKS Alexh and all other people who helped:D :cool:


yeah i have giffy but that only works on gif X_X and bmp and gif causes color lose and graal doesnt support bmp *lol thak i draw in paint to i dont have any idea how to use photo shop 7 or paintshop pro X_X*edits

Graal doesn't support semitransparency the way imaging wants it to work really. you either get it opaque or all semitransparent :S ah well. cant change that.

depends though how you make semitransparency in the image. Photoshop does a good job of it.

Yes it does. You just have to script it.

using photoshop
dont make an image with a background

Wow it is, and it was on these forums :).

Use Animagic :) It's Magic
