Re: Maintaining graphic transparency

[Kim VanderLaan]

Hi, I have tried making the image transparent and saving it as a .gif. But then, how do I drag it to a new window to combine it with another graphic? I cannot get my cursor to grab it. I can copy it with the clipboard, but as you say that means changing it in the clipboard to .pict and the transparency is lost. What am I doing wrong??
