Davie Crock's transparency logo tutorial for Paint Shop Pro 7

Ok... I figured how to make one using Paint Shop Pro 7 by piecing everyone's suggestions together.

  1. Open your saved logo (*.jpg). Resize the image to be 256 x 256 pixels (image - resize).
  2. Select the "magic wand" on the left side toolbar.
  3. Click on logo (should see an outline of logo and outer border).
  4. Selection - invert (make sure "tool option" is set to "match mode" RGB value, "tolerance" 10, and "feather" 0).
  5. Edit - copy.
  6. File - new... Make sure the new image dimensions are 256 x 256 pixels, "Resolution" 72, "Background color" Black and "Image Type" 24bit.
  7. Edit - paste - as new layer.
  8. Select "magic wand" again, click on the newly created image and you should see and outline of the logo and outer border, as before.
  9. Selection - Invert (now you should see just the outline of the logo).
  10. Selection - Save to alpha channel (you should see a preview of the alpha channel; where the logo should be is all white surrounded by black).
  11. Save this as a *.TGA (Truevision Targa) file. You will get a message stating something about being able to save only one alpha channel (that's all you want).
  12. Open TextView (you can get Textview from the editing download section of BIS' OFP site) and drop the image into this application and save it as a *.paa file.

    YOU ARE DONE AND HAVE A TRANSPARENT LOGO!!!!
