    Hey controller 7--you should put your graems on a transparent background rather than white. Unfortunately, jpg doesn't let you do this so gif is really the only option. png does do transparent backgrounds, but the results can be weird sometimes.

    Other than that, I'm a big fan of your work.

    thanks dollar bin, I've been fumbling my way through photoshop and teaching myself as I go. You can't do gifs in photoshop can you?

    I guess I can run it through image ready with only one frame and just save it as a gif.

    I guess i forgot that some people aren't using the same version of Soul Strut as me. Hmmph. I just realized that everything I've made in the past may not have looked right to a lot of people. For me everything has matched the background, but I use a version of SS with a white background.

    you can definitely use photoshop to make gifs. An easy way for recent versions of photoshop is to use the "Save for Web" option, and then use the gif preset. Otherwise, in the "Save As..." use the compuserve GIF format.

    I'm all for a Kat Williams graemlin, but shouldn't he be saying "This schitt right here"?



  • Controller_7Controller_7 4,052 Posts
    ha ha, I never even noticed that. I know the save as list, but I've never heard of it as "compuserve gif" and I guess I just went down that list looking for gif and never saw it becasue of the compuserve. I'll fix these two tomorrow and repost.

    Question...

    for the quote bubbles, should those be transparent too? I'm imagining some text not showing up depending on some backgrounds.

    naw, it's in reference to this. I think "that's my schitt" works a little better for usage here.

    No the quote bubbles should be filled with white.

    True. It would be difficult to lead up to "This schitt right here".

    I like it! If you changed it chicken to Popeyes it would probably get more votes though.

    When it's photos instead of just plain text that you are saving as a gif, you have to do a little trickery to make them turn out nice.

    Do a "save for web" make sure it is set to 256 colors, set the dithering all the way up to 100% and your results will look nicer.

    About the transparency issue, gif's are index transparency so if you take white out of the image it will remove all white (meaning inside the text balloon) so to get around it, fill the balloon with a color just a tiny bit off from white, then when you knock out the background, the ballon will stay filled.

    The real deal is PNGs, too bad IE6 can render transparent PNGs properly, because it is the only format which allows variable transparency like a 50% drop shadow or images you can see the text behind.
