Thanks guys. I found out how 2 to do it and i'm impressed. I'm also going to read the in depth links you sent >Thanks

I have "Alpha Mask Tool" and another one just called "Alpha Mask" installed.

I can understand, you thinking that. I started a new subject and got my answer. Thanks for your suggestions though...

Mike, Thats what I did and if you click on the link below you can see it does not work because you get jaggies caused by the aliasing.. See for yourself (The @ sign is on the red background) http://www.irunmywebsite.com/alphtest.html

Thanks guys, I did not explain the problem enough. I want the character "@" to have it's background hidden. When you do that you have to use alpha channel. Note that most graphics on the below web-page are alpha channel but the "@" and one of the "3"s is not.. and both of them look a bit tatty...

I am trying to create a big "@" sign which has smooth curves. As a normal anti-alias'ed character. The curves have jaggies. I need to put this "@" sign on many different backgrounds, so I need one done as a PNG that uselelises the 4th channel. I'm afraid I have not been able to find a tutorial which shows how to do this as i'm a beginner with this tool. My menu structure currently has an "Alpha Mask Tool" and another one just called "Alpha Mask". Does anyone know how to use these Alpha Channel Plugins for the above task?
