The Replace Color command can't turn colors into transparent because
transparent isn't a color. What you need is a selection of the white
pixels and the Replace Color command doesn't give you a selection.

You can use Select > Color Range instead. Select all the white pixels
and when they're selected, delete them with the delete key.
In order to turn pixels transparent you need a "real" layer and not
a background layer, so if the image only have a background layer,
double click on it in the layer palette and give it a name. Then you
can delete to transparent.

tom, why do you keep starting topics that seem to refrence threads no one else knows about? this is at least the 3rd or 4th of these i've seen where i have no idea what you're talking about! :)

if you're responding to a particular thread, keep it in the thread please!

You can read and post to the forum through a newsreader.
I do it exclusively with Gravity for example.

However, if you don't have Adobe Forums account and connect with adobe
server ([url]www.adobeformums.com[/url]) using your username/password in newsreader,
you can't actually POST or REPLY in the group so that members can see.

As a matter of fact, there are alot of folks out on open usenet posting
and replying in, for example, adobe.photoshop.windows. But if not using
the adobe news server to connect, those reponses are NOT seen in the
actual forum and are only visible to folks who are using a common
newsfeed.

The problem is that the thread doesn't exist at [url]www.adobeforums.com[/url].





Um then don't post it there. :)

even if I'm using the web interface at Adobe directly, I have the same
problem. It's a mystery to me how you keep track of large threads about
who is answering who and why.





in the web interface you can click the "show all messages" link to get the full thread. relevant quotes are generated by placing a greater than sign (>) as the first char on a line. they show up in the thread in <blockquote> fashion. you're also missing out on all the links in threads to other threads when you use the newsreader version. these are primarilly web forums. i understand a limited # of ports (under 50 iirc) are assigned to newsreader access as a courtesy, but you really do miss a lot that way.

If it's posted through another newsserver I will try not to answer it
then, if it really is that annoying.




I think it would be more annoying for you to check every time. It's not really annoying to us, it's just... confusing... ok maybe annoying in the sense that we never see the person's original messages or replys or get to chime in with our own advice. So ok, yea, it IS kinda annoying! :)
