Png transparency! (1 Viewer)

Hi experts,

First of all I am using Access 2013

I'm sure you have heard this one before. I have spent hours looking for a solution over the net but cannot find one.

I have a report. On the report is a standard .jpg image. This is not the problem.

I also have a .png image of a signature which is overlayed on the .jpg.

On the design view, it is PERFECT!
On the print preview and when I print it out, it shows as if the .png has a white background.

Have not attached the signature obviously, but have also tried other .png images

Any ideas,

Thanks for your help

RIGHT!
Still looking and found this on another post:

- Insert a GIF-image/png (with transparent background) into Word.
- Right-click the image in Word and copy it.
- Paste it in Access in a form (design state).
- Right-click the image in Access and set backgroundcolor to transparent.

THIS WORKS but the quality is terrible

Any ideas

GOT IT WORKING

But just before doing so I used Photoshop -> File -> Save for Web
I then used these settings:

To summarise:
- Exported image using Photoshop Save for Web
- Insert a GIF-image/png (with transparent background) into Word.
- Right-click the image in Word and copy it.
- Paste it in Access in a form (design state).
- Right-click the image in Access and set backgroundcolor to transparent.


Wish I can thank myself

Interesting work-around.. Thank you for posting. This will come in handy once I start adding logos and images to my reports...

Download Gimp then read the tutorial about transparency.
