Re: Transparency problem with PSP 5.01/Addendum

I have found that, on occasion, Graphic Converter for the Mac has a similar
problem.  Reopening the pic, selecting the color to be transparent and
resaving usually corrects it, but, more than a few times, I had to save it a
3rd time before the proper transparency was assigned.  Just a FYI.
