Transparency and color precision

Hello

I created a PNG with only 1 color: white, but with varying degrees of transparency.

My idea is to cover this png on top of any solid color and create a brilliant UI, regardless of which is the background color.

However, when I applied, I don't see that on 5 different shades of white, so theoretically it should be 255 different shades.  Needless to say, it looks terrible.

Do you have suggestions on how to make this work better?  Could I manually draw the pixels using Graphics.drawARGB for best effect, or is this a limitation of the device Simulator or blackberry?

If you have any suggestions on how to create the desired effect, I would greatly appreciate them.

I'm sure that transparency is 8-bit (0-255), but the transparent color is mixed with the underlying color, and the result is 16-bit color. I'd do a few tests to determine the best combination of what you want. So do images of 32-bit normal and then save them as 16 bit images to see how to work the colors on the scale.

  • Transparency and color

    Hello - I would like to mix colors in Flash using transparency to create something like this (no interactivity needed):

    If I create video clips of Cyan, Magenta and yellow and change Alpha transparency, obviously the entire color becomes lighter (and colors in layers merge well). Is there a simple way to do this, preferably use transparency, although I am prepared to accept that this is not possible. I tried to use masks, but I may be overloading the things and I am unable to get my head around what it takes. I found a movie showing it can be done.

    Any ideas?

    Hello, you can do this by using the mode of fusion in Flash 8. If you create video clips of 3 items then apply a mixture of multiply each, you will get what you are looking for. See my example here.

  • I can't customize my window color and appearance to change the transparency and color of the window.

    Tuesday night I had to re-charge/reinstall Windows Vista because I had some problems with the worms and Trojans. After that I have re-installed Windows, I was able to customize my resolution and my window color and appearance. Once I installed all the 106 updates of Windows, I was finally able to change my resolution but I still not able to change my window color and appearance. Before I reloaded Windows I could change the transparency of the windows and taskbar and the tone of the colors, etc., but now all I can choose themes default and such of older versions of Windows. I was told that after I downloaded and installed all the updates, I'd be able to do, but I'm still not able to do. Is there a reason why and is there a any solution for this? Drivers? Material? Thank you. :) I hope this has been detailed enough.

    Hi Nicole,.

    In the services dialog box, double-click the themes service. On the Recovery tab, set the first and second failure of the drop-down lists "restart the service". If she is still unable to start/restart, open the event viewer for Windows Logs\System and locate the failure event. Post back with the information found here.

  • File format: transparency and color data separately reading

    I have a problem of reading data through my plugin file format.

    I can read the different layers in the format in color Lab (8-bit) mode.

    There is a transparency mask of the layer (1 byte for each pixel), which is stored just before the image data in the file.

    Currently, I have tried 2 approaches:

    1.

    -TransparencyPlane set of 3

    -LoPlane set, hiPlane to 3

    -ColBytes set 1

    -Value rowBytes to the width of the image

    -Set the data in a buffer with the size of the width of the image

    -read the line of the transparency mask

    -> advanceState gives error (-30500)

    2.

    -transparency mask read in its entirety (I know, bad idea)

    -TransparencyPlane set of 3

    -Set loPlane = 0, hiPlane = 3

    -ColBytes set of 4

    -The value rowBytes image width * 4

    -Set the data in a buffer with the size of the image width * 4

    -read line in a temp file. buffer

    -copy of temp values. buffer and the transparency of each pixel in the data buffer

    -> advanceState ok but not correct image ks in PS

    I think there must be another, better way to apply the transparency mask.

    Thank you for your help...

    Problem solved.

    I forgot to say PS the exact number of planes in the readStart selector.

    Approach 1 was so good.

  • Make transparent background colors

    I have a background image of texture on my container, inside my contrainer I have a div that I colored black background. Is there a way to change the transparency to the black background settings if the texture of my container will show trhrough?

    AndrewMichel1 wrote:

    Yes, a few options:

    1. use the opacity in CSS

    / * Use your black background divs class name * /.

    Judging {}

    Zoom: 1;

    filter: alpha (opacity = 80); / * for IE. Modify if needed * /.

    opacity: 0.8; / * for other browsers. Game above. Modify if needed * /.

    background-color: #000;

    }

    2. use RGBA

    / * Does not work on IE<9>

    Judging {}

    background - color:RGBA (0,0,0,0.8); / * 0.8 is the alpha transparency setting *.

    }

    See: http://css-tricks.com/rgba-browser-support/

    3 use a .png file

    Create a chart of the black png transparent and add it as the background of your div

    Judging {}

    Background: URL (YourBGImage.png) repeat 0 0;

    }

  • Transparent background gif leaving no transparency and little dots

    I am a newbie and has successfully done once and decided on a new logo and did the same thing and now it does not work.  I am running vista, created a logo in a Gif file and edited in paint.  Then I open it in PS, use the background Eraser registered for the web, made sure it was even the gif.  ploaded it to my Web site and bam, it shows a white rectangle with a bunch of dots.  I tried with the eyedropper tool, thereby ensuring that the background was transparent color and without success.  I got my site up and running and has decided to do, and now you don't even know that your facility site because I don't have a logo to the top.

    However, I left a page up to see what he does.  Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am at end of the last week and a half.

    Thanks in advance,

    Lisa

    Hello Lisa!

    Try this:

    Remember what background you use on your website.

    -Open your GIF image in Photoshop

    -File---> save for Web & devices (this opens the possibility to optimize the files for the web)

    -Top left of new screen click "2up" (shows you the original and a version optimized in a split screen)

    -Top right of new screen scroll to the types of files and Select GIF (others are PNG-8, JPEG, WBMP, PNG-24)

    -Just below the selection GIF, click the arrow of the "Matte" button, it opens a menu, choose your color of original background (if white, blue etc..)

    - Transparency of box (optional)

    -Click Save at the bottom. Select the destination. Fact!

    I hope that answers your question. You will have to do with your png images as I think.

    Note also that you can reduce the size of the image (and quality) in the upper right by reducing the colors.

    P.S. (usually transparent and sRGB are selected)

    Let me know if it worked!

  • Vista and Color Laserjet 5 M reprints all when the printer is turned on?

    Vist and Color Laserjet 5 M reprints all when the printer is turned on?

    It is a new one on me. I installed the printer with a barrette SIMM Postscript so it would work even at all under Vista and now it prints well but insists on the fact that I have all re - print he has never seen a reason any whenever I turn the printer to print something again.

    XP he has never done that, but I've always had the document cannot print the error that I ignored as he did print correctly.

    Google has not really revealed anything?

    ?? Type response level 1 I was looking for... These printers are a full restart, test of memory and when it is off.

    But I think I solved it, spent some time on google and there was a suggestion on the spooler in vista, was something like clear keep printed documents or print spooling first, I went also to start printing after the last page. Who took care of a lot of it somehow. Not sure why the generic installation program would need to be changed here. Possible I did for me somehow when I was trying to get the thing to work with the PCL driver too.

    Then I noticed that whenever I turned on the printer it is printing a page of demo postscript, for some reason any, it is enabled by default in the SIMM option. Turn power off and now its not wasting so much paper now.

    So two things to look for in the computer and the printer.
