Sweetness - you guys are the greatest. I wish I had more time to play around with Photoshop...

I tried exactly what you described and the only time that the eyedropper reported anything other than the color I chose was when I had the incorrect Mode chosen for that specific i…

Are you filling that area of color on a layer that interacts with a layer underneath it? e.g. The layer you are filling "multiplies" the layer underneath.

Yeah, there are a lot of variables here...but the mode you choose in the layers palette could make a difference. And the arrangement of layers you have in your document might be …

Nope. The layers do not have any effect. This happens even when I am using the opaque background layer, with no layers on top. I am using PS 5.0.2. As I recall, this was an issue w…

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 …

For some reason Photoshop doesn't save tiffs correctly. My tiff (with an alpha channel) that I saved in Photoshop couldn't be opened by PictureViewer (Quicktime). If I opened it …

That's weird. Maybe it was the custom icon. Maybe it just didn't feel like cooperating. Programs tend to be particular when it comes to extra stuff (alpha channels, paths, etc..) …

Thanks tie and Demonhood for the help and Demonhood you were right - the drop shadow did give me problems, but in the end I do now understand transpanencies better. The previous a…

I've found that with this signature thing (or posting images to the web in general), it's been best to make sure I had either: a) no transparency (for detailed images) or b) transp…

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'…

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
