kaveman Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Hi I’ve used PDN to create a .PNG Graphic for a website, the graphic seems fine in PDN or when viewed with windows picture viewer or other But when I upload to the server the transparent part of the image appears blue See below. I am using a template for the site, the original Image is a PNG with a transparent area which if I open in PDN and then Save AS and upload to the web the transparent layer becomes blue? here is the original and here is the resaved with PDN Any Ideas why this is happening or am I missing something really basic?? has this happened to anyone else? I Know I can colour match the backgrounds etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Am I missing something really basic?? You are. Don't use that 6-years-old mammuth called IE6. Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaveman Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 I also use firefox, same issue applies Plus as most of the users of the final image will have IE6 I need to keep it as "back compitable as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Could you provide the modified logo you made? Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I also use firefox, same issue appliesPlus as most of the users of the final image will have IE6 I need to keep it as "back compitable as possible Then use .GIF format for your graphic. That fact of the matter is, IE6 can not handle .PNG files with transparency well. It is a limitation of the browser. Time to upgrade your users to IE7 or the latest version of FireFox. In other words, there is nothing wrong with Paint.NET or the .PNG files themselves.

kaveman Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 Ahha! While I take on board all the comments regarding browser compatibility etc.... I have done some more digging and fiddling around... the issue is more one of curiosity I.e. How come the Original PNG file has transparency layer in i.e.6 but the one I've created in PDN doesn't. after more scratching of my head I have discovered that this has something to do with colour modes. As i couldn't find any differences in PDN attributes, I opened the file in GIMP and noticed that one was using "Indexed" and the other (PDN Image) was showing "RGB". Gimp has a function to switch the modes from RGB, GrayScale and Indexed. I Used Gimp to Switch to index mode saved the file and uploaded to the website and hey presto! it worked... I could not find a simmilar fuction or switch in PDN? Many thanks to all who responded and I hope this helps anyone else who comes across simmilar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Mhh, the Joomla team may use a scripting treak to allow transparency in IE6 which works only with indexed PNGs. I could not find a simmilar fuction or switch in PDN? It was "mentioned". See viewtopic.php?p=95016#p95016 Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob.
