how to make a ghost robe look transperant on ms paint? can someone tell me because i cant figure it out.

Color the BG with normal colors around the robes, then use much lighter tones of the same colors right where the robes are.

So color the robe normally then go over it with a lighter tone and continue that process?

i believe he is saying to take the color of the background behind where the robe is, and turn down the Luminosity (abbrev. Lum in color editer) so that it looks like the background is showing through, giving the illusion of transparency

No, Mxm is saying that you pixel the background first, then make the background lighter where the robes should be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: yup, EP said it before me, and with a better explanation :P

Download graphics gale (search boards or google for link) and put the robe in a new layer and make it semi-transparent. easy.

Like what MXM and the others said, but you have to lower the saturation as well as the brightness, or it won't really look right.

Does the same sort of thing work with glass too?
