Image Clipping

[Burpee]

Sorry, I'm back. Nope, it doesn't work even when I select 'transparent'.

Here's a screen pic. I used the above settings...ok, wrong pic but I did it with the above settings. When I load the resulting PNG it looks like the center image on black. If I use my magic wand to delete the black in the image it creates the bottom image on orange.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Nancy, long time no see.

I'm not understanding "Magic Wand" and where the black background is coming from.

OK. I see that speedy Bill has posted just before me.

But, I also don't get any problems when I export as PNG with transparent background.
I have also selected the setting you showed in your post.

Why not post your 3D file and we can see if we get the result you do?

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.
