Need help with images

[Scud]

Lastly, the poormans way of achieving the same effect as transparency is to make your image's background color the same as the background where you intend to place it. Doesn't work with gradients or on top of another image, but fine for plopping it on top of that ugly military green. Save it as a jpg or bmp or anything you prefer.

Dave, I think he asked how to get rid of transparency? You are far better qualified than me to answer that, too (if I understood him right).

Ack!! In which case I'd have to see the original graphic, before it was saved as a gif or png to see what's happening, but it most likely wasn't silhouetted very well (thus the jagged edges). Going backwards, you pretty much have to bring the image back into Photoshop, and re-sillhouette or select as much of the background areas as you can and apply a color (white as in the attached sample) or black. The image supplied is very pixelated, in fact, looks like a black and white bitmap file which generally is of poor quality.

If your images are showing up in Photoshop with a transparent layer, just flatten them (they'll pick up your chosen background color) or save them as jpgs. Jpgs can't hold a transparency.

Other than that, no easy way and your results will probably not look too great. Quickly made sample attached.
