PNG I.E Transparency Hack for Signatures

[dEC0DED]

well as you can see KyoJi is using PNG transparent siggis.. and our I.E using brethren are all OMG WTF IS THIS GRAY!?

and at work I have to use i.E

so that's something that might need a fix

 

[dEC0DED]

hmm, i have heard of png files, but never used them before. any suggested programs to use to create png files? perhaps with this alpha bending. I have always used gif images, as i do not own any software, that i know of, to create pngs.

.. you don't create pings. It's a file type that you can convert your files too. Photoshop has it built in for saving and alot of other editing programs have it aswell.

i knew it was some type of filetype, but i am just wondering if there are any programs, besides photoshop, that can do png files. Most of my programs i have r not new, and i am not comfortable with photoshop, as it can do too many things, and i get confused when i use it. so, r there any other programs which i can "convert" files to png that you would recommend?

actually, you do create PNGs, just as you create BMPs. I use idraw charamaker, it's awesome.
By the way, I only knew of the 256 colored png. and I KNEW that the 24-bit had alpha transparency.

Oh, and you can easily make that picture Kyoji has as signature into an 8-bit png without any loss, and so you get this transparancy which is so necessary.

Thanx but I already have a site which tells everything about the PNG format.

usually pay-soft like adobe does it. you can also use free-soft like GIMP to get things done. see the GIMP topic in my siggy for detailed infos.

An alternative to gimp is paint.net. Its also free and open source, but requires you to have the .net runtime installed. I have no real experiance with either, but I know they are both out there and they both have their pros and cons.

Edit: Just occured to me that my original wording implies the gimp is inferior to paint.net, I haven't really used either. Just a clarification.

But yeah MS should really get their ass into gear. It would be cool if Hunter implemented a fix into the forum... GIFs are pretty horrible to work with but so many people still use IE.

done.....
