Transparency Issue
adam79
name, and another of a logo. I want to put the words over the logo. Is
there a way make the background of the image with the words transparent,
so when I paste it over the logo, just the words show up? I have a free
application called paintbrush that I've been using. I don't have the
money, or the need for an expensive program. I'm using a Mac, but can
borrow my friend's Windows computer if there a no free programs out
there (for the Mac) that can do this task.
Thanks,
-Adam

You can certainly do that with Gimp (the Gnu Image Manipulation
Program), for one. It's free & open-source, and runs under X11 (OS X's
version of the X-Window environment).

Pages has a transparency feature too,
But working with anything other than perfect case examples can be very
tedious.
Still; Using the Outline tool, you can draw a mask around the object,
then isolate it so that it can then be used as a positive or negative
mask...?
Also; You can double click to end the outline, then select
transparency for the mask, leaving the outline only, and restarting
the outline by double clicking on the last point. For some reason,
this took me the longest time to figure out...!
