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)

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...

[How do I create alpha-channel smooth curves with this tool]

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?
