brennycabinets Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I am trying to make images with transparent backgrounds to work on websites with colored backgrounds. Can anyone help me? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedHONDA Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 That's simple. Just save the image [with the transparent background] as a PNG. Your probably trying to save it as a JPEG, but they don't support transparency. GIF supports it, but just barely. Look at this comparison to see why I save every image as a PNG: EDIT: Sorry, it was a typo.

Helio Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 You bet .png is supported! Quote v An excellent open–source strategy game—highly recommended. "I wish I had never been born," she said.

BoltBait Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Well, IE7 does support PNG transparency properly. IE6 only supports PNG transparency like GIF--either fully transparent or fully opaque. My recommendation: try both PNG and GIF to see which format works best for your type of graphics.
