Hi all,
I am trying to create a photo collage and need a semi-transparent kind of background to use. Are there any applications that can help solve this problem on the web? I believe it is possible, but cannot see any options to do so in Paint or Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
Thanks v much,
Rachel

You need a good quality photo editor like Paint Shop or Photo Shop. You could also try a freebie called Gimp.

I don't know if this is any help, but I have been using Macromedia Fireworks, (I believe it is the older version of Adobe Fireworks), and it has the easiest transparency slider to use. Obviously its quite expensive so its not a great option. However if you do have it already, then it works a charm.
I looked through a couple of other forums for free options and this link came up, http://www.snapfiles.com/get/photofiltre.htm
Not sure if its any good but you could give it a try,
Holly

An older thread now and probably resolved? Worth a mention though are vector drawing programs. Photos can be imported into them and adding transparency to images is something they are very good at (amongst a host of other features).
