Transparency

[endgame]

I'm trying to replace my trophy png in the images file, but ran into a bit of a stumbling block. Thought I knew enough about Paintshop Pro or ifranview, but I can't seem to recall how to make a background transparent. Here's the image I'm working with, but can't get the white to vanish in-game.

If someone can do it, great, but I'm more than willing to be educated and do it myself, if I can as well. Thanks in advance.

let me know if you want instructions too. I can give screenshot by screenshot steps. Do you use photoshop?

[endgame]

Thanks. It does have to be the original size, however, or one that matches the image in the skin file. I think I can just resize your contribution.

When I dabble, I use PaintShop Pro, or Adobe Photoshop Elements; Paint in a pinch. Be very grateful for the instructions, and I'm grateful for the image. I'll see what I can do. Here, should you decide to pursue the topic. Always willing to learn. Again, I very much appreciate it.

Thanks, albatross, just spared me from the great deal of reading I was doing. Really appreciate it!

Okay, looked at it in game. Just like the original, the edges appear like they need smoothing. Not a complaint, like I said, it's the original as well. So of either of the programs I use, is there a remedy? And I'll also keep looking myself. Thanks again, all!

I'm using Paint.net. Don't know if I can help with the edge-smoothing.

Thanks again for providing me the new starting point. Greatly appreciate your taking the time. Found my copy of Paint Shop Pro 9 (Adobe just seems over complicated to me after awhile) and have been experimenting with the Defringe option with meager success, but overall I still enjoy having it in the game. Right up my alley. It'll give me something to play with now and then throughout the season. But this is the trophy, no doubt. Thanks for making it so.

You, too, HP.

I think you're right. The top cleaned up a bit. Here's what it looks like in the game, and I'll admit something a little anal probably kicked in.

Some of the roughness is part of the trophy, I think, and I get that. Maybe it is the little white at the bottom, I'm not sure. Just something compelling me to tweak a bit until I get it just right. I've been hanging around you guys too much. Ha!

You picked a real tough one to do since the the top is also white. The more contrast in color, the better they come out.

For one like this, I lower the tolerance on the eraser tool as much as I can and still remove the white, but not the top part of the image and then I might need to use the smudge tool to smooth a few areas.

Anyway, this is how mine came out...
