OK. Now I'm really perplexed. I'm trying to re-export the full-sized elliptical-shaped head shots using the steps Sledger & FredC shared with me. They worked just dandy with the small versions. I open one of the exported PNG images in Picasa and the image appears with the "checkerboard" transparent background. Drop it onto a photo doc and there are no white edges Lovely, right? Not happening with the full-sized versions.
Here's what I'm doing:
- Drag & drop JPG into program
- Have optimized photo to 150 dpi at this point. Thought that was a problem but it's not
- Paste my "cutout" ellipsis over the picture
- Select both objects
- Press CTRL+3 to intersect the shapes
- Have optimized photo to 150 dpi at this point. Thought that was a problem but it's not
- Export as a PNG
Am I missing something? I'm extremely tired but I'm pretty sure that's the way I handled all the 94x111 images and they're working just fine.
Also, for some strange reason, I cannot draw an ellipse. Period. It only comes out as a circle. Thought the config was backwards so I tried holding CTRL but I still get a circle. What is happening in my little corner of WNY?!?!?
