Servien Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Hi, how can I make the background of an image transparent? (In the menu "Window" it's set to translucent). Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 That option refers to the translucency of the on-screen windows (the toolbox, the history window, the colors window, and the layers window), so it doesn't really apply to your problem. Making an image transparent is a far more difficult process, for the most part; the computer can't tell a difference between the background and foreground automatically. Take a look at the tutorial "Cutting out images the Easy Way!" for a brief introduction on extracting images from the background. EDIT: Also, there's a tutorial with almost the exact same title which is stickied in the Tutorials section. Hope that helps! Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

GooRoo Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I am creating square dance move animations, and basically creating a "tool kit" of components that may be 'dropped' into a 135X132 pixel box. This thread addresses the minor problem I am having ... cutting down an image into its minimum size. The 'male' figures are fairly easy to handle, since they are simple squares; the 'female' figures are my problem, since they are circles. My first attempt at creating a female figure generated a 20X20 pixel image ... and it turns out that only 17X17 is really required. The leads in this thread will allow me to pare my components down to size. Thank you! BTW, I was looking for an 'introductions' board (or thread), and having found none, decided to make some post somewhere to see what my mini-profile updating looks like. Sorry if I am resurrecting a very old thread, of no further use to anyone. Quote Gruntz! The brain-powered puzzle game from Monolith Productions, Inc.

david.atwell Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 ...or, if you want to post an introduction, just do so in the Overflow forum; specifically in the thread would be good.
