Patrick Bell Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I am trying to 'place' a silhouette whcih has a transparent backgroun but which does not appear so when placed. To check it is transparent I have opened(the silhouette) and exported it as a png with Transparent background ticked, In all cases the background is the null checked pattern. What am I doing wrong?

firstdefence Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 A lot of graphics have a fake transparent background, normally shown by a mismatch between the size of the transparency checker pattern your app displays. Rasterise the silhouette. Right click on the png layer and select Rasterise. Select the silhouette using the Flood Select Tool. Invert the selection: Select > Invert Pixel Selection. Press Delete to delete the fake checker pattern.

v_kyr Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Better reuse some vector representation (SVG/PDF) of that one. man_silhouette.svg Other than that the net is full of free downloadable vector silhouettes of people.
