 |
|
Hey guys,
I have made an image which I am planning on using for my website's logo. Now it was a png at first but decided to go for a .gif in the end.
Yet when i save the image even though the layers I want to save only take up a very top part of my image (the other layers are there to template my website so I know how it looks)....
Because the image is 800x1000 yet the logo is much smaller than this.. when i save the layers which are put as visible from the layer window I get an image file which is 800 by 1000 in size and just the logo up the top.. below it is just blank see through nothingness but it is acting as if the image is there.
Kinda like:
|----logo-----|
blank
blank
blank
blank
|end of image|
I want it to just be only:
|---logo----|
And nothing else. Is there a way to save just certain layers from the layers window ?

If you are saving it properly this shouldn't be happening.
First, make sure all you see is the checkered pattern behind the logo. If you don't, you have no properly made everything transparent.
If you are seeing it, save the image by using "Save As...". This will give you options, and when you save as a .gif it will bring up color options. At the top there are three drop down choices: Palette, Colors, and Forced. Below the "Forced" menu is a little box that says "Transparency" next to it. Make sure this is checked.
Once that is saved you can open the new file and crop down to what you want to save. Save this as a new file and you should be good to go. |
