There you describe a gif file with transparency which is opened in a software that cannot read it correctly, On the other hand, PhotoFiltre did get rid of the white square around the image, but using the magic wand it only is able to make a light greenish background. Hi Tom, what about if I save this image in PNG first, and then try a transparency? when the transparent animated image is applied as a second layer at his position, you should have the desired effect.ĭon't forget that gif file format is a special color format in 256 indexed colors, that is very lower as 16 millions usually.Īnd to work with PhotoFiltre, you need to change colors mode and swap in menu Image/ Mode / RGB colorsįor the transparency, have a look at the first paragraph of the Information sheet : F1 key or menu ? / Information on the layers of the animated image you set transparency as done above then, you can tint in grey this partial copy of the background : this will be the first layer to put on your background. first, you have to copy exactly the background position where the final image will be pasted.

Only the studio release can create 256 levels of transparency with png files.īut we have more than a magic trick in our bag, we can work with several films as pseudo layers : PNG file format can keep transparency in 256 levels, but this file format does not may to do animated images. No half transparency for example, in this file format. For more information see "Changing the color mode of images" on page 47.- Unfortunately, the gif file format does keep only transparency as 100% or nothing. If you are saving an image that contains more than 256 colors, you must convert it to Paletted color mode to decrease the number of colors in the image.
