Help with image backgrounds

Shadowghost135

Hey everyone,
First let me say sorry if I'm asking to many questions, however with all the help and support you guys are giving I'm really beginning to learn what I'm doing. lol :-)

My new prb is this. I have a lot of image files, yet each of them are set within their own little white background boxes, how can I cut this out or make the image itself stand alone on my backgrounds that I'm using in game? I've tried editing the images and removing the white/black backgrounds however I'm unable to do it. Is there a way to do this with the color scale in GS?

Thank again all

Hmm... do you mean like just a white background around say like a player's image or something? If you're talking about what I think you are, make sure you save all of your images as PNG files (Along with deleting this white backgorund, which you can do with the Apple image preview program thing)

Exactly, when I save my images and import them into GS they all have their own little color backgrounds that imports with the image over my game BG, so I end up with my image inside a little (color) box, usually white or black.

Yeah ok, what program you using to draw the images? I use photoshop so it's easy for me to delete the white. Make sure everything is saved as a PNG file also. Now if worse comes to worse, delete all of the white by using the default apple picture preview program. simply click and drag a box over the white and press the Delete key. Then save it as a PNG file.
