How to make .ai or .esp file with transparent background?

Post by LMS007 »

I just want to create some vector text, color it white and save it as a vector file. But when I do this and re-load the file, it adds a white background instead of honoring the transparent one from the original pspimage file. Is it possible to have transparency with these formats? Thank you!

The only vector formats that PSP supports are EMF and WMF.

EPS and AI are converted to bitmaps. And, no, there is no way to control the color used.

You can try Inkscape, if you want result as vector format.
