Changing background colors of graphics

**mmboyer** · 27 February 2011, 10:26 PM

I have a couple of graphics that were created (not by me) on a white background. When I import the graphics into my project, I have a white square (with graphic of course) on a colored background. Obviously, that won't work. Is there a way to have the graphic's background blend in with my background on my page without disrupting the colors of the graphic itself? I know I can make it sort of transparent, but that isn't the effect I am looking for. Is there a relatively simple way to accomplish this?

I appreciate any input or advice. I will keep hunting around the help menu's and the forums; haven't found an answer as of yet.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi

any chance you could post up the graphics?

Sure...I think! Let's see...okay, the typical copy and paste did not work. Let me see if I can figure out how to attach it!

okay, that didn't work. Um, how do you attach a file?

click on the 'go advanced' button bottom right of the reply box - then scroll down and click manage attachments to upload file

That is so funny, it was the only one I didn't try! Okay, we are getting closer. My image does not have a URL, what would be the next step? (boy do I feel extremely stupid here!)

you should get something like the attached

click on add files, and then select files, to upload them from your computer - you need to have them in one of the standard image formats [jpg, gif, png...]

I tried that and it wants me to input a URL. I am stuck! What am I doing wrong? I am so much smarter than this darn thing it is making me completely insane! I went to GO ADVANCED, clicked on the IMAGE icon and it says, input URL. It is on my hard drive, in a file of it's own, I don't know how to make that a URL.

Can I tell you how utterly stupid I feel? http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/whathe.gif I was just looking at the menu ABOVE the text box, I didn't scroll lower on the page. So Sorry handdrwn!!

Hope it worked this time!
