Transparancy problem
Hi there, errrm I'm not sure if I'm in the right section but here I go!
I'm new to paint shop pro in general and I'm using PSP 9 right now to do some designing for my bands ep cover.
I've worked out how to use everything I need very nicely and it's a great program but my problem is this.......
I designed a logo for the band using a font and the text tool, I then drew on bits and bobs to make it a bit flashier, spikes and circles that kind of thing. Now this logo was inteneded to be used on an EP cover so I saved the whole thing in block white with no shading or effects with a plain red background.
The problem I have now is that I have my actual cover art ready so I call up my logo and set my background and foreground colours to the same as the red background, I copy and select the art image and click on 'paste as transparent selection' which it does but there are still hints of red around the edges of the writing. It's extremely annoying because it can only be used on redddish backgrounds where it isnt so noticeable but useless on any others.
Can anyone please help or tell me what I'm doing wrong? I know it's probably a simple thing that I've missed, because I am new to it but it's driving me mad, I just want a sheer white logo with nohne of the background colour at all.
Any information would help,
Thank you!
P.S. There's no particular reason I picked red as a background colour, just first one that came to mind but i assume that my problem would occur with any colour I use as a background.
