I’m trying to take a scan of a print and create an oval containing a portion of the scanned picture. I want to have the oval edge feathered, and then incorporate it in a web page as a transparency. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Don

do not try and save as a transparency for the web. Use your oval marquee, feather about 35px, invert, fill to back ground color. Or cut the invert so it lays over your web background, flatten ,
save for web.

-Make oval selection
-Feather the selection
-Make a new layer out of the selection
-Delete the background so there’s just transparency behind it. -Crop
-Save as .png
-Put on any web page you want.

This creates a beautiful transparent-edged picture, with one catch – it doesn’t work in Internet Explorer. Seems they’re slow to catch on. It will display the picture, but the transparent parts will be grey.

It works great in Opera, the browser I use, and also in Safari, the default Mac browser.

Thanks for your help. However, the real problem is that my background has a a pattern in it, so I can’t set the background color to the same as the web page. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Don
