Great notes for the deck too Marvin--I love these cards as I already mentioned on the download page.

The Transparency function won't work with this even after I checked the box in the Options dialogue. The black background still shows, and I double-checked the Pack Data to make sure the tag was set to 1.

The background of these cards is your scanner bed, so maybe it's because the program is not picking up the background as a solid colour for pixel transparency?

OR can I assume that the cards need to be set against a very bright background colour for the program to notice and take the pixel at position (0.0) as the transparent colour?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Jambalaya

That is definitely the reason. For transparency to work the background has to be a solid colour, I don't think any scan of a real card would ever give this. There are some examples of how it can work in the decks by F.J.Campos section.

Okay, I can get to this later this week and just do a fixed selection on each card, and then cut and paste them onto a new solid background.

I'm just working to a deadline right now, so can't stop. Aaaagh, pressure, pressure!!

Thanks.
