Fading an Image

I would like to take an image, fade it out and use it as a watermark. However I can't figure out how to do this. I'm using PhotoImpact 8.0

Thanks in advance!

Right click>all , right click>convert to object, right click> properties and set the transparency. If it's already an object you only need to do the last part.

Ok , I am trying to do the same thing...make a watermark out of my logo...I can change the transparency but when I save it , it either saves it transparent but with a white background or it saves it not transparent like I had it set...I have PI 7...what on earth am I doing wrong???

Thanks so much

Hi,

Save as a PNG with transparency.

That transpaqrency only works within PI and the image your woking with. You can't create a transparent objects to include in other applications. You can trick people into thinking it is by using the same color background.

You can however createa transparent background where only the objects are visible see this thread. http://phpbb.ulead.com.tw/EN/viewtopic.php?t=830

Hi Coalman

yes that was me on the other thread that you helped!! Thanks!! In fact that is the image that I am wanting to make a watermark out of.

So are you saying that I cant make a watermark out of my logo without the white background...the logo I'm starting with is the one that I took the background off of (the other thread)
