LuckyChickenLover- Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Does anyone know a file type (JPEG, bmp , ect) that will accept transparency and that is recognised by photobucket? I'm trying to make the white background on this: transparent. Thanks ~ Lucky Chicken Lover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbier Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I'm not familiar with photobucket, but gif and png files support transparency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyChickenLover- Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 thank you! They'll probably be supported my photobucket. I'll try now. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debbier Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 What program are you using to create the files? That's how you set up the transparencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I got one of my IT chaps to do it for me so I am not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbier Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I got one of my IT chaps to do it for me so I am not sure *lol* That's cheating! I could easily sort it in Photoshop, but I guess that LCL wants to know how to do it herself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I am being told if I want to know his secrets I have to make him tea - so let me pop the kettle on I will get back to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbier Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) I'm more expensive, and only work for tea and biscuits edit: ask your guy about alpha channels, and you'll need a BIG pot of tea Edited April 19, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyChickenLover- Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 What program are you using to create the files? That's how you set up the transparencies. I am using Jasc Paint Shop Pro 6. Transparency is the grey and white checkerboard, right? Thanks for doing that Falkor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 he isn`t getting any biscuits until he sorts something else for me (non chicken forum related) and now he has told me his "secrets" I realise I could have done it myself! He used Microsoft Publisher, used the transparency tool and the saved as a jpeg file. Hope this helps. Em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debbier Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 He used Microsoft Publisher, used the transparency tool and the saved as a jpeg file. ...err, no he didn't! Either he's fobbing you off, or you misheard it, or it's a typo. jpg doesn't support transparencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyChickenLover- Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 Unfortunatly I don't have publisher anyway so it doesn't matter I think it's an issue with photobucket. I did what the tutorial said ( thanks debbier!) and saved it as a png but it didn't work. I'll try flickr and see if it works then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been punished for fibbing to me - I ate his biscuit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbier Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Why don't you try copying Falkor's pic into photobucket? That will show you whether Phoobucket can handle the format or not. I can't imagine why it wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
