Um, NYColt said that he's using LView Pro - I don't think those options are available in that piece of software, but you may correct me if I'm wrong.

Here's an article on how to get PNG's with alpha transparency to work in all browsers, just in case anyone is interested. Unfortunately it involves a really messy non-standard browser hack (thanks to IE/win's lack of support for alpha transparency in PNG)

Unfortunately this really doexn't help you much given your choice of graphics editor. Again, I'm not all that familiar with Lview but from what I remember it's more of an image browser with limited editing capabilities. It may be in your best interest to get a better program - your graphics will be much better off

another thing you could do if you have PSP7 is set the feather on the wand to 1 or 2 and select & delete the background, should smooth out the edges.

alot of tricks you can do to fix it. one quick thing you can try, is setting the background layer to a color close to what your placing the image over (ie if it's going over a dark image that's predominantly blue use a navy blue background). theen soften the top layer a bit, and merge the two, and set the navy blue to transparent.

I'm not that familiar with Lview pro, so it's hard to give specific advice here. What you shold be able to do is drag & drop or copy and paste the logo text on top of the picture. Any sophisticated graphics app will do this with no problem, but I'm not sure what kind of limiations Lview has. You may have to completely re-do the logo on top of the picture.

Nope you'd have to do it all as one image and therefore the logo would actually become part of the background.

What do you mean by that?

Hello Megan,

Sounds like and option, but I am nor quite sure what you mean? How would I go about that?

Do you mean to recreate the logo by retyping the font and adding the other images over the photo I want to use as a background or is there another way to place the logo onto the image and have it be transparent?
