Transparent Background - blazblue crests

Posted under General

I recently found all of the blazblue character crests

Appearently they all have transparent backgrounds that ruin the thumbnail image

How do I remove this background so they dont ruin the thumbnail and end up auto-deleted in 3days

Those approving will click an image that shows up as a black square, don't worry about it. If it's not approved that won't be the reason.

They are up already but in far far worse quality.

Look, its not a problem, don't worry about it. Its an artifact of how the thumbnailing process works and we are PERFECTLY CAPABLE of understanding the situation and not holding it against you or the picture.

Do not alter images. Period.

Yeah, just leave it be. It is a bit of a bother not being able to see what it looks like in the preview, but most of us probably understand why it previews as a solid black background.

If having a transparent background kept things from being approved, the transparent background tag wouldn't have so many images.

It isn't the transparency, so much as the way the preview works. Transparency gets converted to solid black in preview thumbnails, and the designs themselves are black. Thusly, the preview becomes a solid black image.

No shit, Sherlock. What part of my comment made you mistakenly believe I was not aware of that?

Off topic, but actually, the transparency isn't always converted to black. Sometimes it's green, or pink, or gray. I've even seen it be white on a few rare occasions.

It's possible that the transparency property is simply being ignored. At least in GIF images, any color can be set to show up as transparent, and if that transparency is ignored it may show up as that underlying color.

I think all the transparent PNG images I have seen have ended up with black replacing the transparant pixels.
