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.
- Open your saved logo (*.jpg). Resize the image to
be 256 x 256 pixels (image - resize).
- Select the "magic wand" on the left side toolbar.
- Click on logo (should see an outline of logo and
outer border).
- Selection - invert (make sure "tool option" is set
to "match mode" RGB value, "tolerance" 10, and "feather" 0).
- Edit - copy.
- File - new... Make sure the new image dimensions
are 256 x 256 pixels, "Resolution" 72, "Background color" Black and "Image Type" 24bit.
- Edit - paste - as new layer.
- Select "magic wand" again, click on the newly
created image and you should see and outline of the logo and outer border, as before.
- Selection - Invert (now you should see just the
outline of the logo).
- 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).
- 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).
- 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!!!!
