PhotoLine Tip 8: Create a transparent area from a color
 
1. You created a image like this. 

2. You want to place it on your web page, but it's not nice because you have a background and don't like the white border around your image. You have to make the white color transparent. 
 
3. To do this, select Tool/Color/Select color. Then click with the mouse in the white area of your image. 

4. Select Destination is mask and press OK
 
5. Now select Tool/Mask/Mask to Alpha and save the image in GIF-Format. This won't work with jpeg-format, because jpeg can't save transparent information..
