Counter Bitmaps.

Post by Magister_slith »

When I modify the sc3 counter bitmaps, a white frame appears around each counter. I do not know the reason. Can anyone help me.

Thanks.

What program are you using to do the artwork? Does it have layers or levels? might be another level showing through.

I use pain.net and get good results. Sipres uses Gimp and gets great results. Both are free.

I don't believe that Paint has layers so I don't know what is going on. Could you send me the file through a PM or place an image here?

I am not sure to remember but I believe that paintbrush can't handle transparent png files.
But as Harry mentionned Paint.net does.

So I think this is why you get a white background.
