slicing a website

i have created a website image, but am having huge problems slicing it properly, every place i have tried to slice it, it causes me problems when trying to code it , would someone help me please ( i usually only use background images, but in this case, because its gradient i am having trouble )

thank you

Gradients are a b*tch to deal with!

The only way to achieve this is to use transparent PNG's for your F.M.A.T. logo and the slated red box

that really is a b*itch, i created the images in powerpoint, of course it does not support transparent PNG's, meaning i have to try in corel or fireworks ( i am no good at removing backgrounds in either )

also i am just worried about the gradient only lasting a certain length before it goes dark again from repeating the top. but i suppose background colour should work with no repeat ( loosing the side shadows ) BUGGER !!

I can help you do it in Corel PhotoPaint, I use it quite often.

if you could just check these for me that would be great, thanks

OK, what would you like me to check?

saltedm8 · #7 Jan 5th, 2008, 00:45

just make sure i have done it properly, the most important thing to me is to make sure the shadows are still there, i am relying on them for good effect

cheers

Only one problem, Corel can't open a .pspimage file.

attached png thanks

OK, sorry it took so long, but I now have your images cleaned up a bit. The transparency is already set.

Don't worry about the way that the corner image looks green. That's not what it really looks like. Really, the green part is transparent.

lol thanks mate i really appreciate it, i must learn to do it properly myself

marSoul · #15 Jan 5th, 2008, 20:39

Stuart · #16 Jan 5th, 2008, 20:51
