Transparency: eliminate white/eliminate black

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll have to try something like that soon.

PI is a WONDERFUL program.

However, it doesn't do EVERYTHING that Photoshop does, though. I think it does about 80% of what PS does.

Yes, I like that picture. I like the sock & boot picture also. Cute slogan. PI is still a nice program although Photoshop is King, hands down.

80% for less than 10% the price. It's good enough for me http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif.
Better CMYK print support and better brushes are things I wish for. And real transparency. One where you could smudge edges to transparent.
Maybe one day, when I am very rich, I'd get myself Photoshop. But for these doodles, PI is enough.

I've been doing free lance for web and photo retouch and now am also doing full-time graphic arts. Yes, I use Photoshop but not for everything. I've got several programs at my disposal and I have to manage my time and figure which way is the most efficient to get the job done. I am finding I use PI for loads of things because it makes sharp images and it makes them quickly. I do love Photoshop but I use PI about as much on the job as Photoshop. I use the two programs differently. If the output is a poster size or larger, Photoshop is the only way to go.
