[Transparency quirk - Part shows transparent but still prints white]

pdnnoob,

You're funny... I will take your advice and I thank you so much for ur help!

[Transparency quirk - Part shows transparent but still prints white]

Ego Eram Reputo,

It didn't work. i opened it in paint - not paint.net - i filled the background with a color and the 4 small areas are still white.

[Transparency quirk - Part shows transparent but still prints white]

Ok Ego Eram Reputo,

I think you are telling me to

1. erase all of the background areas - i did this

2. I deleted all of the background areas

3. I saved it as a PNG.

4. I am not the one importing it into my book cover, the publisher needs to receive my graphic in jpg form.

I can see what the problem is from my side. The 4 small leg parts may be transparent now but i have no way of checking.....

Here's the problem. When i open up any graphic back into paint.net - click on the wand... and here is the problem on my side.... i have to change wand to global every time b4 clicking wand on graphic page. Flood mode keeps reverting to contiguous.

So, I don't have any idea what my book publisher will see (if the 4 small places will still be transparent)and i am not eligible to send this to them another time after this next submission.

I am not sure if i have another option to your #4? when does my graphic get flattened? I must submit it as a jpg like i did 24 other pictures which i was successful at cutting out the backgrounds.

I understand that Jpg's do not support transparencies. When i open the jpg in paint and click on the wand the entire background is removed but those 4 small spaces.

On my final edit of a book those 4 small spaces are the only white part showing up in the background of my book cover.

yes, in paint i can click on global and they go transparent. I saved it in jpg b4, again, opened it with paint and clicked on the wand and all but 4 small areas were transparent. how come when i repeat this process the 4 small areas are still white? And, these 4 small white places are the only white area showing on my book cover - and, i submitted the graphic to the publisher in jpg.

Maybe i will try saving it as a gif or png then resaving it as a jpg - since i must submit it as a jpg.

I really appreciate your input!

Hello pdnnoob,

I appreciate what you are saying. However, when i open the jpg with Paint.net (it is saved in paint as a jpg) everything stayed transparent except the 4 small spaces inside the horses legs.

I am guessing i must have missed erasing them before and maybe it is a layers thing?

Odd Llama was right about switching the wand to 'global' this did erase those 4 small areas... but when i saved it as a jpg again and reopened it in paint.net again those 4 small places are still not transparent.

The erase initially and saving in jpg did retain the transparency around 99% of the graphic. I am using this for a book cover and i have got to get that white out... i must submit the graphic as a jpg or a tiff

Uh Oh... Odd Llama....

 

Global worked until i opened it again.

 

I went to check my horse graphic before i sent it.  It was saved as a Jpg. I 'opened with' ... Paint.net.... clicked on the wand and the same spaces between the horses legs are not transparent.

Thank you for that advice?  I tried attaching my graphic

how do i upload a screenshot?

[Transparency quirk - Part shows transparent but still prints white]

I have succeeded in making a graphic background transparent....

However,

There are 4 small sections that appear transparent but when i hit the wand they are a different transparent color (still white and grey little boxes but don't turn pale blue on top when i hit the wand...

And,

It is these 4 small areas that still print white.

I don't know if i messed it up with layers before ... but i am guessing???

These areas won't erase again because they show as erased.

I tried copying and pasting in paint.net a variety of formats... Gif, Jpeg, Pnd and then tried erasing again and although Jpeg did erase.... i was back to square one and these 4 small areas keep printing white.

Anyone got any clues how i can transparent these 4 small areas?

This may or may not be a good plugin for removing that white fringe.

Any color will be lost.

It will result in an image that is black and clear at varying transparency.

Heatstroke maybe you can also help me with this:

how can i take the background out of an item that is an open weave - about 40 tiny open backgrounds?

thnx,

jd

I think AA's assistant should help, it can be found here.

If the picture is in its own layer, just use this plugin on the layer the picture with the white edge is on.
