How to Copy Signs from SignPuddle to your computer

[Eda AMORim]

Val e todos da lsita!
 
Fiz um teste e veja o que aconteceu. Acho que o problema são os navegadores. Fiz o procedimento como a Val descreveu.
Segue anexo uma tabela, acho que ficará mais claro o entendimento.
Salvei e colei no Word com o documento, não a imagem, o documento com fundo laranja.
Internet Explorer salvou em bmp
Mozila Firefox salvou em PNG
 
Abraços
 


 Val and all the lsita!



I did a test and see what happened. I think the problem is the browsers. I did the procedure as described Val.

Here attached a table, I think it will become clearer understanding.

I saved and pasted into Word to the document, not the image, the document with an orange background.

Internet Explorer saved in bmp

Mozilla Firefox saved in PNG

The best way to get the Transparent background is not to use Copy, but instead choose "Save Image" and download it to your desktop first. Once it has been "saved" to your desktop and given a new name, then you can open another program like Word or PowerPoint, and use the "Place Image" or "Insert Picture" commands inside those programs. The programs will ask you to find the file on your desktop to insert it - It is possible the transparency will be saved that way...but the Copy command doesn't hold the transparency because of the way the Windows clipboard works - anyway, that was my understanding of what they both said below - which is extremely h

These formats need to be 32-bit per pixel in order to support transparency's alpha channel. However, on most systems you only get a 24-bit per pixel bitmap, which strips the transparency bits. That means when you paste it, you'll get a background color instead of transparency. And even if your system copies in a 32-bit per pixel format, the application you're pasting into may not accept the alpha channel and will show the background as a color.
