PSP 5 has got some new, and very powerful, features. With this power have come some changes, though. Today we will show you how you can save a GIF image with the transparency feature active under version 5.x of PSP. So here's how it's done!
Think of a layer as a transparent sheet on which you paint. Paint Shop Pro allows up to 100 layers. You can see through each layer to the layers under it until you add color. You can add layers, delete layers, and change the position of layers. Each layer is independent of all other layers until layers are merged. The layer you are currently working on is called the active layer. There are three types of Paint Shop Pro layers: raster, vector, and adjustment.
You often see those nice pictures on web pages where part of the picture is transparent so that the background shines through. It's not at all difficult to create these so-called "transparent gifs".
