Transparent colors?

Saturday, February 22, 2003 by mmckaibab | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I'm having troubles getting sections of graphic files to be transparent. I seem to recall reading some tutorial that referred to "magic pink" and I can't find that reference anywhere and all my graphics are displaying pink where they should be transparent. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Michael

When using magic pink, make sure antialiasing is turned off when making selections and using the paint bucket etc. If you don't, you will get varying shades of pink and that's why they show up. A good way to test your magic pink (in Photoshop) is to use the magic wand tool, set the tolerance to zero and then click on your transparent area, if some parts of the pink are not selected then it means that they are not true 255 0 255.

I know another way to do it.
But thats because I'm still working in the stone age.
But I have jotted this advice down for future reference.
Thanks your a nice guy.

I was trying to give you a complement!!!
Your way is better.
I would write mine down but it would just confuse the issue,and take to long to write.
Believe me your light years ahead of me.

She sardonically pokes fun at herself until it hurts...kinda sorta...

..."Bryan, I was the one...who was the over-emotional doofus of a girl...and got my heart broke too easily over the slightest slight" (what a drama-girl)...

Angel_Wings dances in front of the mirror...

Yep...same ol' me.

Angel_Wings hopes Bryan is happy.

I'm okay, Iben.

TY for asking.

My main fault is...I wear my heart on my sleeve...I've learned to toughen up some (thank goodness) but I'm still a tender heart.

I often wonder what I'm here for...

I imagine many of us wonder...

Hi Angela, I was just heading off to bed when I saw your post. I'm fine thanks! Glad to see you are still here.

I just feel so alone tonight...

Guess sometimes I have this feeling that maybe I never belonged here...

Maybe I'm pushin' my luck

My daughter is older now...she doesn't need me much...she's so smart. My baby girl...so grown up and beautiful...

I thought...having a purpose...no matter how silly...meant something...to me...here... I feel lost... Wom & Fuzzy...they are fragile...we all are...

Sorry...I won't go on...I'm a bit broken up...
