Noctorum Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 I have a transparent PNG that I'd like to keep as a PNG, but the transparency won't show up in IE. So I have two questions... 1.) Is there anyway to overcome the transparency issue? 2.) When I try to convert it to a GIF in Photoshop, the image quality is greatly reduced. Is there a better way to convert it, or is there a option to change? It becomes transparent, but the edges get jagged. Thanks, ~Alex Edit: Heres an example of what I mean, http://www.blindedsilence.net/indexGIF.html http://www.blindedsilence.net/indexPNG.html Quote
natimage Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 Well...the images look exactly the same to me. I can't see any jaggedness...maybe that's because I'm using Mozilla. But...try using the EXACT setting for gif and see what you get. Quote
Noctorum Posted June 23, 2004 Author Posted June 23, 2004 Does the transparency show up on both? :/ I'm using IE 6 Quote
LisaJill Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 cross browser transparency is a real pain in the tookas. here is some information from a list apart on how to accomplish this with pngs.... Quote
webmedic Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 Also png is a much better format and that has much more detail for a simmialr file size. Not to mention alpha transparancy. If you need it there is a ie hack to get it working properly with transparent png's. Quote
LisaJill Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 The 'hack' is what I linked to above, for the curious. =) Quote
webmedic Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 um no there is a good hack but the one from list apart is better than nothing. There is a better one by yougpup. Quote
LisaJill Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 Ah, you didn't link to it that I saw. I went and searched google - for ease of use for those interesed, this seems to be the hack that is being referred to. Quote
Noctorum Posted June 24, 2004 Author Posted June 24, 2004 Help with implementing either would be appreciated, I'm new to all of this . Thanks, ~Alex Quote
LisaJill Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 the "A List Part" article has step by step instructions in implementing it, but I haven't really worked with either option so beyond that I'm not able to give further instructions. But that site is usually fairly straightforward. =) Quote
Noctorum Posted June 25, 2004 Author Posted June 25, 2004 www.blindedsilence.net Have it working, thanks Lisa & webmedic ~Noctorum Quote
