janwat Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hi - I'm trying to get this on to a transparent background, but the shadow seems to be a problem. Thanks, Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 *.jpg files don't support transparency.

david.atwell Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Use PNG. It will look just fine. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

janwat Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Where am I going wrong? Used magic wand to select, then cut, and saved as pnd. (the original file has shadows on letters) top logo: http://thewebbook.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 PDN files can only be displayed in Paint.NET. You have to save in PNG to retain transparency and translucency.

worldnewser Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Do you mean that the shadow in the image isn't coming out properly when you cut it out? If that's the case, I can't think of too many solutions to solve that. :? One guess would be to get just the letters by themselves and then use a drop shadow. Or use the primary color difference to Alpha plugin with the primary color as black, and then duplicate the layer a few times.

janwat Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Still stuck. My mistake in earlier post - it is png but still messed up. ?'s How to remove the current shadows. How to get Alpha plugin How to add drop shadow back. Or may be time to give up. Thanks for trying to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
