Hi,
How do you make the pictures lke oddly shaped. Like not having a box around it. Is this transparency? How do you make things transparent? I have photoshop if that makes a difference...

Using photoshop, when you first make a document 'check' the transparent option and pixel away. When saving use 'save for web' gif or png option with tranparency checked again (you'll see the checkerboard BG. In pieces that you have already created and are not transparent. Delete the BG (erase or magic wand. Careful not to remove pixels of the same color inside the art. Then, save for web or 'save as' gif/png, same as I said before. ps: 'save for web' gives smaller file than 'save as' because you can conrol the file size and see the color count as a bonus. ------------- |
