If no color is specified, then the default background color (colorbg, usually white) is used as the transparent color. ----------------------------------- atrain Thu Feb 24, 2005 1:55 pm ----------------------------------- thats what i need ^^...

That will be a lot simpler. Or just ask the Ville to use his chars (He offers open source for Notrium.. and I know him so :P) Does GIMP have transparency? I heard its good... ----------------------------------- Tony Mon Feb 28, 2005 4:47 pm ----------------------------------- GIMP is nearly as good as Photoshop. Though it has a different feel to it... ----------------------------------- Flikerator Mon Feb 28, 2005 4:49 pm ----------------------------------- GIMP is nearly as good as Photoshop. Though it has a different feel to it... Oh thats good because I was told it was free, or it had a one month trial :P Isn't mostly for 3d though? ----------------------------------- _ Mon Mar 14, 2005 9:58 am ----------------------------------- omg, you think paint is good? paint is shit, you can't do anything on it, word is better at graphics than paint... my advice.. get photoshop.. it's the best there is out there, and it's free... ----------------------------------- atrain Fri Mar 18, 2005 12:44 am ----------------------------------- gimp is open source - 100% free Transparency in turing is just selecting one color in the picture to act as trasparent... this is not REAL transparency like a gif or anything... So paint would be fine for this.. (i still use gimp) ----------------------------------- McKenzie Fri Mar 18, 2005 1:16 am ----------------------------------- I beg to differ but this is the same way transparency is handled in C++. If you don't see it then I think it's transparent. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Fri Mar 18, 2005 4:43 pm ----------------------------------- photoshop.. it's the best there is out there, and it's free... eh? If you are looking for a good picture editing program, which isn't photoshop :disgusted: then you should 'get' paint shop pro. With trial programs, what I find usually works is uninstalling it, clearing the entries in your registry, and installing it again :) *edit* someone has to fix this annoying bug with [/quote] showing up at the end of your post everytime, even when you already closed the [quote].. ----------------------------------- Mr. T Fri Mar 18, 2005 10:48 pm ----------------------------------- download Gimp ... its basically PhotoShop but free. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Sat Mar 19, 2005 4:49 pm ----------------------------------- Isn't GIMP just for Linux, or am I getting mixed up? I'll look into it. ----------------------------------- Mr. T Mon Mar 21, 2005 12:34 am ----------------------------------- no i have gimp, and im using windows :roll: ----------------------------------- Mazer Mon Mar 21, 2005 9:56 am ----------------------------------- Gimp is the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It's open source, which translates to free (in multiple ways). Despite what some would like to believe, it is not like a free version of Photoshop. It has many great features, you can do many things with GIMP, but there's still quite a bit it doesn't have that Photoshop does. It comes down to this: If you're willing to pirate Photoshop, you're better off with GIMP. Most likely, a professional graphics artist would know the differences between the two programs, and would know if they needed Photoshop. And since they are professional, they'd know Photoshop is worth the price. If you need graphics for a highschool computer science project you're making, professional image editing is a bit overkill. GIMP should suit you just fine. And yes, it works on Windows.
