Ok I must be doing something wrong. I'm doing a tutorial for avatars and there is a little transparent part to it, that's the part I've never been able to figure out, ever...

http://www.daydreamgraphics.com/tutorials/list.php?action=list&cat_id=1&id=70

So i get the freaky green color, go to export > gif

but it never ends up transparent, I think I must have something set wrong in the other things but I don't know what :(

I made 3 little squares that are icky green and they either wind up still green or black....

:confusion

did you select the choice area's that match this color on the transparentcy tab and set the color to your iky green color?

yeah i sure did.

Do you have PSP 7 or 8? Not that it matters.

Try this:
Make sure the file is a .gif
Set the background color to your iky green.
Press Ctrl+Shift+V
Click set transparentcy to background color.
Click Ok.
Save the image.
Their should be a gray and white checker board print where the transparent part is. If not press Shift+V and you should then see the gray and white checkerboard.

When i do that and click on proof, it will show the transparent parts but when i click ok, the green is back.......

Just save it and open it in a web browser and I belive it will be transparent. I think PSP just shows you the green and then in saves the green becomes transparent.

*gasp* you're right!!!

Thank you!!!! :)

That's jacked up though!

what's jacked up? Sorry, I'm not good with all these saying even though I'm in high school.

the fact that the icky green is still there in psp but not there when you have a new image...

now time to have fun :)
