<< Transparent Images with Paint Shop Pro 5, 6 or 7 >>

[ I wrote this originally for PSP version 5, but the process hasn't changed much in version 6 or 7 ]
First download a trial version of Paint Shop Pro


You have an image file "image.gif"..... Non transparent...and you want the red background transparent.
1. Load it into Paint Shop Pro

2. Click on the "Dropper Icon" 

Cursor diagram3. Move dropper cursor on "Red" background (or the colour you want made transparent), and click with the right mouse button. This will set the Background colour to the desired colour.


4. Click on the Colors tab on the toolbar



This will bring up this: Toolbar

5. Click on "Set transparency value to the current background color"

6. Then SAVE the image as a GIF file, and Non transparent then displays as Transparent with the red colour gone.
7. There is no number 7
That's it!!
Note: You can use the dropper method to make any colour in an image transparent.
In this case the black colour is removed.....Transparent
. . . . . . . voila! A Einstein
