Hi Everybody,
I've collected a simple PNG file that I would like to use. The obstacle I have is that I will need to convert the background to transparent.
Attachment 130239
Can I even convert the background to a transparency from within Web Designer, and how?
Many Thanks,
Paul
Paul, you can.
What version of XWD(P) are you working with?
Instead, I would search for a Pixabay stock Illustration: handshake and use that.
Far more crisp.
Even creating your own set of shapes would be the matter of minutes.

As far as I know, you can't remove backgrounds in Web Designer, so I did it for you in XDP.
Boy, TG converts PNGs to JPEGs so your offering is back to square one.Quote:

Thank you, Boy.
That's a simple answer.
I think I'll try the trial XDP. My old Xara-1 didn't seem to be able to do it.
Thanks again,
Paul
Actually Acorn, what Boy posted is a PNG with transparency.
And there is a way to do this in Web Designer.
Apply flat, 100% Multiply (Stained Glass) transparency to the black and white image. This makes the white background transparent but the black remains solid.
Now create a bitmap copy, PNG > True Color + Alpha. Ignore the warning that this transparency is not supported, and click Create.
Gary, my goof. How do I access it?Quote:

Never thought of that before.

Always a banner day for me when I know something you did not know. :)
Ignore me ;-)
Feels good, doesn't it?! ;)Quote:
