| is there an easy way to set the transparant color (so the white around a picture blends into the background)? | |

If you mean there is a white border around the image, I would guess you need to crop it out. If you use one of Roddy's image widgets you can set border colors. If you drag a picture onto page, in Shape Inspector you can choose the Stroke setting to get different borders and change the colors. Hope this helps you |

| thanks for the answer Jim but I meant that if the background color of an image is grey, that you can tell ever web to make that color transparant so the image blends into the background.. | |

Hi Erik, sadly there is no instant alpha tool in EW but opening your image in apples "preview" will give you the tool. (As described in JUMBOS second link above) I've noticed that different versions of preview hide instant alpha in different places so you'll need to find it but then it's a simple case of using the tool and exporting as a PNG. Don't forget to also resize the image in preview before saving to make it the height/width it needs to be. I sometimes drop the original image straight onto the EW page, make it the size I want it to be, make a note of the dimensions then delete. I then edit the image using preview (or pixelmator) and always resize the edited image to be my noted down dimensions. This makes page loading much, much faster when you eventually publish.
