RE: Transparent graphic with smoother edges

I wrote you about using Photoshop to fix the image.  Well, taking what I
knew about PS, I applied it to PSP5 to see if I could get the same results.
The methods turned out to be very simple and I figured I'd jot them down for
you

1. Open image in PSP5
2. Increase colors by performing Colors | Increase Color Depth | 16Million
3. Select All
4. Apply a Gaussian blur of 4 pixels ( Image | Blur | Gaussian Blur | Select
4 )
5. Next perform Colors | Adjust | Highlight/Midtone/Shadow (Check Auto
Proof )
6. Bring each of the handles to the center - Observe the change in your pic
while you draw the handles in
7. Adjust to your preference.
8. Save as GIF file and reduce your colors to 256 along the way

I hope this helps
