PNG pictures...

I see some pictures on the internet with transparent backgrounds, and usually when I right-click them and open them in a new window, they are png files.  I was wondering if it was possible to change a JPEG picture into a PNG (or whatever makes it have a transparent background), like that. hmm

Re: PNG pictures...

Hmmm...well you can do the "Save As" option when you have opened a .jpg of an image and save it as a .png, but the transparency must be an effect of some sort...

Re: PNG pictures...

Download Irfanview, you can get transparent backrounds by using that.

Re: PNG pictures...

If you like, pass me the JPG and ill turn it into a PNG with the background transparent.

Just remember, though, Internet Explorer 6 doesn't display transparent PNGs properly. Instead of having a transparent background, it will be a greyish color.

EDIT: I can PM you the picture, if you'd like. 

I'm not on Internet Explorer 6.
