To make it transparent, just change the opacity from one of the sliders to 0 %  |

Gif only supports solid transparency. It either makes things completely transparent or completely opaque. Because of this, it doesn't really dither at all.
This has been said several times in this thread. |

 ... just having some fun PON .. sorry.. 
um... there's like 13 zillion different ones isn't there? lol.... does that tell you anything significant? Or the fact that like 90 % of everyone seems to use .jpg and .gif? ... lol
I don't know but... I haven't needed anything but jpg and gif yet... so... I don't know..
Maybe Bassman knows... he's a photography guy... seems they should know a lot about that stuff...
... maybe he or someone will know, and respond with a simple explanation.. :wink: |
