I think Nancy is loading the png into another application that is has a magic wand tool and is displaying the alpha channel as black. Some bitmap editor apps will do that and there is a way to tell the app to correrctly display the alpha channel.

Hello boys
I use PaintShopPro for alot of my raster work and was using that.
Your comments suggest that I can open them in XaraX so I did that just now. All attempts come in as transparent backgrounds and when I export as PNG from XX it has a transparent background.
My problem is that the PNGs I bring into XX have such jaggy edges that I can't use them. I wonder if I SHOULD use the CROP selecttion since I'm NOT using a shadow?

Nancy I would recommend use True Color rather than a limited color palette.

Nancy if you use a Truecolor .png it will open in PaintShop Pro with a transparent background and no jaggies. If you use 256 colors or less you get the blackbackground and the jaggies because it must antialias.

Thanks for the answers, will give it a try....will look for true color. Scotty, for higher settings, do you mean in XX or X3d? Sorry for being dense but it's been a long time since I've used either program. I really miss working in XX.
Also, embarrassed about the 'bump'...I missed the second page.

Nancy Truecolor isn't hard to find in the Xara 3D 6 Export dialog.
You can see the difference when you open a Truecolor and a 256 color .png in PSP.

Oh Bill, that is excellent! I originally tried 32 color thinking that it was 32 thousand color. When that didn't work I went to the 256 color because I thought that's what was in a previous example. Pffft...I still haven't learned to read. Thanks so much.
edit: That did 'er, worked like a charm. Tell me what I'd do without you all in my life? No, you're not in my will but remember that I still love you
