Thank you Mistfit. Can I please have one with a towel aronud his shoulders style but around his neck? eg the ends of a folded towel are hanging down from his neck with the rest of it not visible due to it being behind him.

 

[Mistfit]

What color towel?

 

[Mistfit]

Sorry for the double..

Towel is tough.. How about a rubber ducky floatie thing?

@Chuski: thanks, it looks better but it's still not quite transparent and it has a white border on one side. Can you fix that please?

I fixed it. The remaining white is because of shading.

Chukchi: I tried it but it still looks the same it did before. Maybe I;m doing it wrong?

The rubber ducky floatie thing adds character.

Have you pressed refresh?

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

Have you pressed refresh?

Yes, I tried it twice and even went to other threads and still the same problem.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

Are you using it as an avatar?

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

Are you using it as an avatar?

yes, you should be able to see that it looks the same as the first one you did. I just switched to dark blue skin and the background still looks gray.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

Try this one.

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

Try this one.

That works perfectly, thank you very much.

Can I use the infranview program to take the background out of a picture? I have it saved as a gif and a jpg.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

I don't know about infranview, but the GIMP allows transparency. You'll have to select the background colour and clear it, but it has to be different than the other colours. Don't use jpg because it messes up the colours. It's not noticable when zoomed out much, but affects wanting to make backgrounds transparent.
