Does any one know how to make an image on my computer transpatent with out using photo shop?

Well you need some sort of image editing software to create the transparent area and then save the file as a gif or png. All the popular editors will do this for you.

you can use the gif animator to transparent the images.

Why not photoshop, that would be the easyest way?

Not everyone has access to every piece of software....

You don't need photoshop, but you need something like it in order to manipulate images at all.

I am sure photoshop has a free trial... well, worth a visit to their site to see if they do anyway. If so download it and see if it does what you need.

Good luck!

use fireworks save any type images - click on the option "index transparency bg" then save as _

1) Upload Picture
2) In "Edit" menu -> "Convert to" -> "Gif"
3) In "Edit" menu -> "Gif Only" -> "Add Transparency".
4) Click on the color in the image which u want to have transparent.

Notice: If your original image is Jpg, it might be a problem to get a nice result. Jpg's are use a lot of "almost alike" colors..

You will have problems in any program to add transparency to images..

uhh...I think the person who started this (and asked for help) has an internet connection...don't you think so?

There are a lot of programs that can create transparent images, although I still believe photoshop is the best if you want something cheaper and small, you can try the image ready version of jasc, i forgot what the name of the program is, i think it's jasc animation pro.

How about gimp? It's free, somewhat easy to use, but in the end it will do everything you need for free. Or how about inkscape? It's also free, can export to transparent png's as well.
