transparency

[Hitokiri]

K, I've been trying to figure this our but I can't seem to get it. It's really frustrating me. I want to make my avatar so the white border is not there, so it's transparent. How do I go bout doing that. I isolated the picture inside the white frame but it has a transparent background but whenever I go to upload it to CAA, it has a white border.

Any ideas?

Ok make sure the background is transparent and then just save your pic as a .gif not .jpg only pictures in gif format keep transparency

Hye thanks alot!! I did it as a gif however it still didn't switch to transparent so I saved it in a Gif program.

It has a white border right now... do you still need help?

Lol, actually I see 1/4 a white border. (along the top there is still a line)

If you want to get rid of the border, why don't you just crop it?

Anyway, some animation programs allow you to simply save images with tranparent parts no problem. But others, such as in Paint Shop Pro, you have have the color you want to be transparent set as your background color (you know how you can have 2 colors selected at the same time, well it's the second color). Then go to Colors > Set Palette Transparency > Set to Current Background Color. Then save it as a .gif and it should work. ^^

PNG's also support transperancy (IE now has support for said feature as well). They are a little higher in terms of file size but a lot better quality than gif files.
