Can't change part of GIF background to transparent

C_R_Sparks Dec 20, 2009 3:14 PM

I'm using Fireworks CS3 (Windows).

I started with 3 elements - logo, "WISR" text and "Ads" text - and created a PNG file (see below and attached files).

I'm trying to change the background behind the logo and the "WISR" text to be transparent but it will not change - it is stuck on White (FFFFFF).

Note: The area behind the "ads" text is set to transparent.

Any ideas on how to change the entire background to transparent??

Thanks

Try see if it is ok now with the attached file. All I did was remove the white background with the magic wand.... it should be all trasparent now

Google search for "Mac's Remove White" filter, and install it in your plugin's folder. You'll never struggle with removing white backgrounds from images again.
