Then you reduce the colors to 256, select the "invisible color as the "background" (BG) color, and tell the program to make the BG color transparent. Then you save the pic as a GIF.<p>I understand that the portable network graphics (PNG) format can also have "transparent" colors, but since almost no-one can view PNG except in the latest generation of browsers, I haven't worked with it much. I also understand that some hosting services don't recognize the PNG standard, yet, and will not let you upload PNG files.<p>--Baloo<p>------------------<br>The hyperhamster is alive and well.<br><p><small>[This message was edited by Baloo on March 15, 1999.]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>The Shadow</b> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(1999,2,15,23,1,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">March 15, 1999</span> <span class="timeformat-0">11:01 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Most importantly, there's no reason to use PNG unless you have line art with more than 256 colors...<P>------------------<BR> <A HREF="http://frankg.dgne.com/" TARGET=_blank>http://frankg.dgne.com/</A> <br>Wildrider: "These guys better have some energon for us!"<br>Dead End: "Or <i>what</i>?"<br>Wildrider: "Or...I'll think of something!" <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Baloo</b> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(1999,2,16,21,57,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">March 16, 1999</span> <span class="timeformat-0">09:57 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Shire/8641/eqt.gif" align=right> The spindly nacelle struts on the enhanced quantum torpedo (EQT) are that way for a purpose. They are hollow, and act as plasma conduits for the nacelle power. Once. Since the EQT is a one-use vessel, the booster section's parts are designed to last at least as long as the torpedo is underway. Once it explodes, whether it had enough remaining service life to do it again is rather meaningless. Why overbuild something that's going to be destroyed in a radioactive fireball seconds after launch?<p><center><IMG SRC="http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Shire/8641/BalooAni.gif"><br><img src="http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Shire/8641/Tacodog.gif"></center><P>------------------<BR>Yo quiero Startrek!<p><p> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Federation Shipmaster</b> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(1999,2,18,18,48,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">March 18, 1999</span> <span class="timeformat-0">06:48 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Can you only dothat in PSP5?
