   Topic: Graphics Gale -- Transparency?Posted: 14 February 2006 at 10:54am |

Pixel art - just trying my hand @ it now, looks like soooo much fun! Program - Graphics Gale. I've experimented with the palette, tools...etc. Just one thing confuses me. How in green hell do I make the background TRANSPARENT. Is their a color replace option? Or that 'lil icon that says transparency...click it, and it apparently does nothing. :P Some help would be totally appreciated! ZooM!(flys away in noob fashion awaiting responses from behind a tree) +.lollypop.+ |

Graphic gale for some reason, as far as I know, never make a true transparent background where you would be able to to see a grid in the background. but it does allow the transparent areas (gifs and png's) make the background transparent in the frame pallet for when you save it.

The way I make anything transparent in GraphicsGale is to make sure the transparency option is enabled, and the colour replacement is set to your background colour, in the layer opinions and then do the same in the 'frame' window (the little option button).
That always seems to work for me, I'm not sure how well I explained that though :\ Edited by Weasel |

So, basically I need to make two frames, one of my origianl pixel art, copy it, and set a specific bg colour to transparency and make sure both trans. options are clicked? Then delete the first layer and leave the second w/ transparency. Should I set the color replacement to white, or would that disable me from adding hilights to my pixels...hence, they would become transparent too? What's a "safe" colour to use? Thanx so much for the help, guys. Edited by +.Lollypop.+ |

When saving the image the transparency color for the "layer" menu wont matter, only the choice you make for the "frame" will matter, no you dont have to make another layer then delete it.
