Re: Transparency H*ll

>> story then, as I said, the background is white instead of transparent...I


I have had similar problems with PSP4.  If I create my own transparent gif
from step one, it will usually turn our to look fairly transparent.  I have
to open the background with the transparent 89a setting and start from
scratch, and even fill in the background color with a close color to the
background I will be using.  Then it usually works.  Even then sometimes the
background turns out white.  Perhaps this has something to do with whatever
color is on my background palette when I open the new file... the rectangle
I open always shows as white or whatever color is in the palette (unlike
Photoshop, which shows the layer as truly transparent.)

But if I try to convert another image to a trans. gif, that usually is an
impossible task.  Something always goes wrong and the background ends up
white, even though I didn't make it white.  I too would appreciate advice on
what I'm doing wrong in PSP that is only giving me partial success with
transparent images.
