Graal Transperancy

I've been having a problem with graphics/transperancys lately. (for heads,bodys,webgifs, etc.)

I know that when I save a file using png in photoshop, it will never show up in graal. If I get lucky gifs will work.

If I also wanted to set a transperancy in photoshop, how can I do it for both gifs and pngs? Anyone know ?

*sigh*, What I do is I use this program called animagic and then set a transparency with it then use this graal gif/png converter and vala! I just cant wait for 3.1 though, 24 bit support ^_^. If you want me to do this for you ill understand, just post the images and ill convert them.

I really say you should get Paint Shop Pro 7. That program sucks, but it's probably the most easy way to set transperancy (for one color).

Your entitled to your option but base you option on psp7 once you learn how to use it. You will then most likely find it is a great program.

Yeah, that's just my opinion. But a lot of people I've told to use it, I show tell them to use for transperancy, and they like it. I know how to use it, but I'm more of Paint and Photoshop. It's just use it at home, use it at work, use it at school. So you kinda get used to it.

When saving as a PNG in Photoshop make sure 8Bit or whatever is selected and make sure you have acutally set a transparent color. Two dumb but constantly made mistakes.

To add to that, when you save a file in Paint as a png, it comes out as PNG, which isn't Graal supported.

Donald I know a program you Don't install and its only 431KB...

it has 4 buttons

Open BMP
Save BMP
Open GIF
Save GIF

and you click what color you want transparent...

Then drag to gif2mng (For some odd reason I always have to click and shake it to get it to come out lmao) but then it comes out png with trans.

The reasons that pngs from Paint never work is because they're in RGB color mode. I use photoshop to convert them to index color mode, then they work fine on Graal.
