Transparency can be a very complex thing, however, if done correctly can become a very easy and simple task. First, as I am running in Vista I use Vista compatible programs. If your not with Vista, I'm not sure what programs are available to you. Transparency is mainly focused on layers, and applying or removing them. In the case of the wiki, we simply remove the background of an image by applying it with a "clear" layer.
You should have:
- MS Paint
- Paint.net
Paint.net is a very simple yet powerful image editor. It is also one the smallest yet efficient programs for adding transparency (Karlis, Myself, and even Christine use's this program).
Steps to adding efficient trans:
- Find the image you are wanting to add the trans too. You should try to ensure that if the image is from the wiki, that it is in HD and PNG format. Save the file to your disk.
- Open the file in MS Paint, and crop the surrounding so the image of focus is as tight as possible to the canvas. You can get a better idea of how close your pixels are to the canvas by zooming in. When you have tighten the canvas as close as possible without cutting off any of the picture, Save the picture over the existing one.
- Open your image in Paint.net
- In Paint.net you will notice a tool called the Magic Wand. When selecting this tool, you will also find a scroll bar which allows you to control the strength range of pixels that will be selected. The Magic Wand is a tool that searches for surrounding pixels of similar colors and allows you to select several shades or similar at one time. By using this tool and playing around with the strength of range your next step is to select a large amount of unwanted pixels that don't hinder the image wanted, and simply press delete. Continue to do this until the sum of the unwanted background is removed.
- If the background contains a large assortment of colors and it is difficult to use the Magic Wand tool, such as a large amount of unselected pixels left over, you can then proceed to use the Eraser tool that is provided. You can adjust the size of the circumference of the eraser by adjusting the - and + values. Remove the stray pixels this way. You can zoom in to ensure you are getting all the pixels.
- When you are done, get a save preview by selecting the save button. Remember during the whole course of this process you are not changing the file name, as when you go to upload it again, you want it to replace the image you are editing on the wiki. If you are satisfied with the preview, save your changes.
- Upload the image to the wiki. Ignore the warning and voila, you have done it. The transparency may not show at the time of upload but give the cache time and it will eventually. If the image is in the Category:Images needing transparency, then you should remove this category from the image.

Sorry, didn't realise it wasn't important enough.
[edit] Hey
Hi, just a friendly message: I was looking at your user page, looking good, love the "Set it on fire with a tinderbox hint" :p I see you have put up the same poll as me (about 99s), interesting comparing results =o. Anyway, I have been wondering what inspired the name "Je suis moi". Just a curious question :p Good luck with 99 Cooking. 22:01, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
