A Question About Images

Cartoon Colin · Post by **Cartoon Colin** » Sun Jan 28, 2007 2:10 am

Since Anime Studio allows the animation of images, I have a question. How do I make the background of an image with a white background? I want to stack two images on top of eachother, however the first would not be visible because the second one is solid.

Hello Colin,

While you can create a vector mask set-up in Anime Studio, you will probably find it easier to create the alpha mask (transparent area) that Selgin mentions in your paint/image-manipulation software, whatever that might be.

Read this for a brief but important point about creating the alpha mask.

You will not be able to create the alpha mask in Windows Paint, but you can use freeware such as Artweaver or Paint.NET if you don't already have software capable of handling/exporting alpha values.

Regards, Myles.
