gblakely Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I created a png with brown text and then made the background transparent with the wand. (I had to click inside the "Bs" and such also). When I displayed the png on a blue background on a web page, all sorts of little white spots show around the letters spoiling the effect. How can I get rid of the white? Thanks, Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Frojo Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 What i would do is have the background just transparent, then create a new layer and put the text there. Afterwords, you could flatten the image Quote I'm still alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bender Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 try making it as a gif, see if it looks "right" then. my pngs show white backgrounds where it should be transparent, i think its cause of IE. GIF's show transparent though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Frojo Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Well the problem is probobly not high enough tolerence, but even if it gets high enough, the text wouldnt be smooth. What i said earlier would be the best way to solve this Quote I'm still alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helio Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Ahh yes. The annoying 'halo'. This is caused by anti-aliasing (anti-aliased=smooth, aliased=pixilated) text or blending an image on a white background. Simply fixed, Make the surrounding area transparent (represented by grey and white checkers.) To do so, add a new layer and add the text to the new layer. Optionally, To make the background transparent, select the entire canvas (Ctrl-a,) and delete (Delete key, duh.) BTW, I didn't know pigs were involved, bender...

HITMAN-X- Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Older IE has a bug that makes png's that are transparent have a blue back ground. Updating to IE 7 should fix that problem. Quote DEXTUT.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
