Problems setting transparent color
I have a logo on a white background where the logo itself contains white.
Therefore, I can't set the transparent color to white. I have remade the logo and had the part I want transparent made a different color. Knowing that there are millions of shades of any color, I've tried really hard to make it a solid color and used R-0 G-0 B-255. And I've checked with my drawing program's eye dropper to see how solid it is and except for one or two pixels near the black outline, it is solid. But no matter what I do, when I use the "set transparent color" tool in MS's drawing toolbar, I get a halo of pixels around that remain blue. And this halo is wider than anything I'm seeing in my drawing program. Is there something I'm not doing? Is there some other way to do this? Or it this just an MS glitch? Bonnie |

Problems setting transparent color
Hi Bonnie
This is going to sound like a silly question but when creating the logo why not set the area you want to be transparent to, well, transparent? In my experience the 'set transparent colour' is not always reliable. Lucy -- Lucy Thomson PowerPoint MVP MOS Master Instructor www.aneasiertomorrow.com.au "GoBonnieGo" wrote in message ...

Problems setting transparent color
Bonnie,
I had the same problem with the 4-H logo and I got around it. All my logos were green clovers with white H's encased in a white box. Picture tool would take out the white H's too which was not desired. I created white shapes to cover the H's, send them to back using arrange, and then regrouped the whole thing. I got a clear background, clean edge at the end of the clover leaves and white H's "Lucy Thomson" wrote: Hi Bonnie This is going to sound like a silly question but when creating the logo why not set the area you want to be transparent to, well, transparent?
