Transparencies
Tutorial
This tutorial
is for Jasc Paintshop Pro.
For this tutorial,
we are going to make an image with transparencies. Something like... this:
Now, it looks
complicated, doesnt it? But dont worry - the only thing we're focusing on
for this image, is the transparency.
In order to create
the transparency, you need to take the original image, and colour whereever
you want it to be transparent, with a bright solid colour that doesnt appear
anywhere else in the image. For example:
Now then, you've
got that sorted, right? What you have to do now, is save it:
Save as>Options...>Run
Optimizer...
Once you've got
to the Optimizer, it should look like this:
1. "Area's
that match this color" - make sure that the colour selected in the box
is the background colour you want to be transparent.
2. Make sure the tolerance is between 15 and 20.
3 & 4. These are the other tabs you need to look at.
Colors tab:
You need to mimic
the settings on this tab. The Dithering can be moved between 100 and 90 to
get the desired effect. Any lower, and you risk alot of quality loss.
Format Tab: All
you need to do in the "Format" tab is to make sure that "Version
89a" is selected.
You can now click
"OK" and save the image. Now you're left with that wonderful image
you wanted in the first place!
