NO, that did not work..

[Steve Slevinski]

SignPuddle uses PNGs with transparency.  If you right click and copy, 
you may loose the transparency setting of the image which will turn all 
of the transparency to black. 

You have 2 options.  First, you can customize a sign and select white as 
the background and disable transparency.  With transparency off, you can 
right-click and copy without a problem.  The other option is to 
right-click and save the image to you computer and then import the image 
file into whatever program you're using.  The multi-step process will 
keep the transparency information.

Alternatively, I could default the signs to have white backgrounds 
without transparency.  Then you'd need to customize the sign if you want 
transparency.

Regards,
-Steve
