Molishist Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I recently made a png image on an OSX that involved half transparancy. I needed to transfer it over to my windows xp so that I could use it, so I emailed it to myself and opened it on windows. But when I try to use it or view it, it isn't half transparant. Do you know any file type besides .psd that supports half transparancy? I really need it. Thanks Mol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatsilverwyrm Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Are you sure you saved it as a 24-bit png? What are you using it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molishist Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 Yeah I'm pretty sure. I'll try it again. And I'm using it for a game I'm making, unfortunately GameMaker only works on Windows systems :( . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatsilverwyrm Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 eh... ok whats half-transparancy It's more commonly known as partial-transparancy or alpha-transparancy, or an alpha layer, or something along those lines.. It basically allows you to have semi-transparent pixels outside of graphics programs, using a special alpha channel. It allows for much smoother and cooler graphics.
