MyEclipse Image Editor - Layers and Transparency

MyEclipse Image Editor - Layers and Transparency 1, originally uploaded by reechard.walker.

using MyEclipse Image Editor. Surprisingly, it has layers, transparency, gradients. It also has some serious bugs though. Beware that “transparency” (non-rectangular favicon or “desktop icon”) only seems to come out via the .PNG format option… I wasn’t so lucky exporting to .GIF or Photoshop formats.

If you look closely, you’ll see I should have feathered the magic wand selection - but that’s really true alpha channel support which I don’t expect to find in free software anyway.  If you work at a high enough source resolution, the scaled-down web versions will be good enough.

Note: found another Flickr bug! .PNG transparency supported only at THE ORIGINAL SIZE,which means their “size conversion software” is badly broken.

Flickr you so crazy is the tag I’m using here and on Flickr to describe Flickr frustration.  I’m not mad at Flickr… I’m just telling the story as I go.

Use Firebug inspector to see that the image really has transparency. Note the light yellow background color in the tooltip display of the image.

Firebug is a web developer’s best friend. It is a Firefox add-on that makes it very easy to debug and develop web pages. It provides you with a way to inspect page elements and perform many other functions…

Firebug Lite makes it possible to put Firebug into any web browser! You should be able to use it with Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari, Chrome, and any other browser that supports JavaScript. Firebug Lite is written in JavaScript, so you can include it on a webpage with the following code:

<script type='text/javascript'

     src='http://getfirebug.com/releases/lite/1.2/firebug-lite-compressed.js'></script>

Or even better you can use this bookmarklet: Firebug Lite

I use Firebug on a daily basis. This is great news, that the key function of Firebug is now available on Javascript-enabled browsers.
