see here u see where it says "bloggin" that box where it says that is transparent .

i suppose you mean the translucent part. If so add a new box onto your excisting image and set the "transparency" to somewhat 50 or something so it's slightly see-through. If i'm right you can see the transparency in the layer window.

the way i do that is make a rectangle with just a border.
It will be a vector. Go to your layers and covert to raster layer.
Then use your magic wand and click inside the rectangle. That will select the whole inside of it. Make sure feather is at 0.
Create a new layers and then choose a color, probably a shade of gray and fill your selection. Then change the opacity until it's where you want it.

Hope that helped.

How would you do that in psp8?
I wnat to have a little box that is half transparent and dont have a clue how to do it

same way

Its really confusing for me :(
I wont bother

the tools haven't moved from version to version :P
it's just draw a shape, and set transparency/opacity to 50. that's all !

Ok but i open my picture and i twont let me convert to raster layer :(

did you make the rectangle first? it should be a vector. that's what you change.

Ok thanks :)

Still not working

the steos i ahve done are,
Step1: opened image
step2: placed rectangle on image

It still wont let me convert to raster layer

If your image is a .gif file go to image->increase color depth->16 million.

If not just do this:

1. Go to Layers->New Raster Layer
2. Get the rectangular selection tool and draw your selection
3. Set your foreground color to black and get your paint bucket tool and fill the selection
4. Go to selections->modify->contract enter 2. Hit the delete key.
5. Add a new raster layer (like before) and fill the selection with white. Lower the opacity of this layer to what looks good to you.
6. Merge layers.

HTH

Thank you all for helping! =) I'm gonna go try it!

Thanks again! :)

It worked! Thank you!!!!!! =D

use the selection tool and like make the box or w/e then choose the umm paintbrush tool & then you make sure the color is white change the opacity to 65 & then color it in =D. tahda!
