mjl103 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 This is going to sound massively dim but I've just d/l the programme and I am trying to make a logo for my site and can't seem to make the background transparent. Its just text so its not a picture or anything - I just want the background transparent so it sits nicely at the top of the forum. If any of you can be arsed answering such a painfully simple question I'd be grateful. EngineeringForums.co.uk by the way if anyone is interested.

LFC4EVER Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Create a new canvas. Add a new layer and write the logo text on a new layer. Delete the background layer. Crop the canvas so only the text is shown (Select the text with and Ctrl + Shift + x ). Now, save the file as a .png so the transparency is maintained.

Silver Surfer Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Just out of curiosity why can't there be an option to have the first canvas come up transparent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
