I'd like to save as a tiff a partially transparent image (that is, a layer which has transparency) that I've made in Photoshop. How do I do this? It seems like I first have to …

This is something that I'd like to figure out too! I've got a custom signature for a bunch ot Unreal Tournament sites that I go to and they all have different background colors. As…

Cake, here is what you should do: Put everything on a layer with transparency. Then in the File menu, open Export->Gif Export. This will preserve the transparency. But …

Okay, so I think I solved my problem. First, I realized that the alpha channel is only a one bit channel, so it's not possible to make things only partially transparent. (At le…

The alpha channel is not one bit. Things can be partially transparent. Things that are marked as fully white will be completely transparent (in the Alpha channel). Things that are …

Much better cake. I like the simplicity of the second one. It's a damn shame that 24-bit PNG files aren't more widely supported. Having web graphics with alpha channels is just …

Thanks man, I need to adjust it a bit - even though the 'D" is aligned vertically, it bothers my eye that there's so much space above the letters as compared to underneath them. I'…

Thanks MacNN your "swell" Finally a Forum for us designers Anyway straight to the point here......... I've been using Painter 5 for a few years now. It's always been someth…

Challenges 1 and 2 are still open. I thought I'd change paces for this one. This challenge will involve photographs. So dust off your mad photoshop skillz, and let's get to it. T…

I have a good one, but damn!!...can't open my iDisk today, wonder why? Ah, here it goes.. Guess what family this is, click the pic for enlargement. If you really don't know, he…

DAMN! That's a real smooth job. How can I ever top that one? ------------------ Erik K. Veland That's no ordinary rabbit
