Transparency Woes! (How to do it?)
Hello everyone. I have a tiny question and would greatly appreciate any help...
I'm having problems with transparency. For some reason, the parts that I want to be transparent in my icon just aren't transparent after loading them to the web. I've checked the memories of this comm and have tried the things that they've suggested, but nothing's really worked.
I go to file>save for web and then save the file as a .png (24) with the transparency box checked. Everything looks fine until I try to load it to the web-- both photobucket -and- my own webhost just take the part that should be transparent and fill it in with another color.
Now, I use internet explorer to veiw the web, BUT I can see other "transparent" icons just fine. There are a bunch of lovely examples from this community which I can veiw without problem. Why, then, are my own attempts coming out so wrong?
Do I have to resort to the horrible .gif option which ruins the quality, or is there some other option/explanation that would solve this problem?
Thank you so much for any help. :)
Oh, and I use PS7!
