Transparent Avatar?

[Dr. Zeppers]

Ok, guess it does have an optimizer.
Ive used PSP since version 4 creating transparent gifs for my websites for years, and never ever used it.
For the record? Its not required for any form of image transparency in PSP.

I don't want to stray too OT, but I'm curious how do you do it? As I said, I rarely deal with transparencies, but the optimizer was the first way I got it to work... Ohhh, do you use Image > Palette > Set Palette Transparency?

Yes! Thats it!
Lets me use the eye dropper to choose my transparent color on the image, and then I can click preview to see if its clean.
However ive switched to PNG now, more colors, and easier because I dont even need to do that pallete thing! I just literally delete all the data making it transparent.
If your "layer" is called "background" you cannot do this, you have to convert the "background" layer to a Raster layer first in PSP.

Heck I might try the optimizer now! hehe
