Within Paint Shop Pro 5 & 7 (don't have a version here to give exact instructions from - going from memory) you had to go into one of the menu's and 'Set Transparency', you would they select which colour from the palette to make transparent.



You might want to change the background to another colour if there are other white areas you don't wish to be transparent.



You might also have to change the image type to .jpg to do it...

The correct way to do this is:
a) make a square selection that involves only the white background
b) Go to Selection > Modify > Select Similar
c) Select "discontinuous" option



Now al the white will be selected.
Just press "delete" and white will be turned to transparent

            How to calibrate 16:9 built-in touch-screen to a 4:3 resolution?

            Image
            up vote 0 down vote favorite I need help with an issue we're facing in a project where we are moving from a Windows-based POS environment to one running on CentOS7. The problem consists of a number of factors, please find the details below: The supplier of our POS application will only deliver an application that is hard-coded to run in a 1024:768 4:3 format.

            QoS: MAC-Priority for clients behind a repeater

            Image
            1 1 I've setup a wireless network using a Linksys-Router (DD-WRT) as an AP and a TP-Link repeater for range extension. To manage bandwith for specific users, I've setup QoS-Rules on the AP (DD-WRT) using MAC-Priority: However the AP shows only the Repeater's MAC and the MACs of users inside the AP-Range. The MAC addresses of users behind the Repeater are not listed : The purple MAC is not listed in the AP-Clientlist. Its related to a device connected via the TP-Link repeater. Q: How can I setup MAC-Priority for repeater-clients? Do I simply add the purple MAC in AP-MAC priority list although it's not listed as a client? I want to setup specific priority instead of giving one priority for all clients behind the repeater by adding the repeater's MAC in the MAC priority list in the AP as ...
