roswell751 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 i searched high and low for a thread about this so i apologize if it has already been discussed and i just missed it. my problem is that i want to create an image that has a transparent blur. i don't mean that i want layers underneath it to bleed through, that i can do. i want to make it so that when the image is placed, say, on a web page, the background of the page will show through the blur. that's probably a terrible explanation so below are images to demonstrate what i mean. this is what i have in paint.net: and this is the same image on a web page: they are GIFs so i didn't think this would be a problem. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Frojo Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 When you saved them, what did you set the transparency threshold as? Quote I'm still alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 GIFs only allow 1 specific color to be transparent, and it only allows complete transparency. If you try to set it at even the tiniest bit less transparent, it becomes opaque. Save it as a PNG, which allows partial transparency like you need. Keep in mind, though, that Internet Explorer 6 will not show transparent PNGs properly. I.E.7, Firefox, and most other significant browser will show it fine, though.
