Transparency Help - Sol - 07-06-2009

Hey, I don't usually make requests, but I'm having a bit of trouble. Can someone please make (or tell me how to make) the purple background in this image transparent?

The file also needs to be saved as a PNG, I won't be able to use it otherwise. If someone could do this for me, or tell me how I could do it myself, I'd really appreciate it.

If you have an animating program you can just save it as a transparent image, I dont know how to make a png transparent though, sorry >:

RE: Transparency Help - Devicho - 07-06-2009

I'd actually like to know this, too. I used to have Fireworks, with which I could make transparent .png files, but when my last laptop died I lost both it and Flash. :'c (If someone knows where I could download virus-free trial versions of the MX 2004 version of both programs, please tell me! I have activation codes for them from a friend, since I got the programs from said friend in the first place, but this was before I moved to AZ, so I can't exactly go over to his house and ask to borrow the disc or anything...)

So all I really have right now is Paint. I know of an animating program or two I could download temporarily to make things transparent, but saving as a .gif ruins the quality with Paint. :<

I believe this is how you want it, yes? (Title is there, just very hard to see on this background.)

Ah! That's perfect, thanks so much.

If you want to make images transparent just download Paint Shop Pro. I can give you a few images to show you how to easily make it transparent.

Here's a link to Paint Shop Pro 8. It's an old version but easy to use and only like 50 MB. Oh and it says it's only a 30 Day Trial, but you can go over the trial period.

So now that it's downloaded. Click New Image, and make sure it has Vector Background like so.

Then simply paste your image onto the canvas, and take out the Magic Wand tool like this.

Next remove all the Background which is purple in this case, and should look like this.

Now go to the Save As option and then change it to a PNG. Name it and save it like so.

Then it should turn out like this when your finished. It was no problem and your welcome. So now anytime you want to make something transparent you can.

You can do all of that with Paint.Net; just erase the background first, (so you can see the gray & white checks) paste in the picture, and proceed with the magic wand tool.

Gonna bump this up and sneak in my own request since it's essentially the same thing Sol asked for before.
I was wondering if someone could make the white part of the following sprite transparent. I'd download one of the listed programs but my connection is being iffy right now so I don't know if I can get either program without getting disconnected.

Awesome, thanks!

RE: Transparency Help - Link - 07-17-2009

If you have any more, I can do them. xD It's not very hard with GIMP.
