How To Make Dolls Transparent

[alva]

I'm just asking how to make dolls transparent, not full but a little just like Kebin's Covergirl Ad in Shameless Plugs.

You mean Kristi's CG Ad? That's not transparent. This would be an example of transparent:


(Using Suki as an example )

Anyway, it's pretty simple. Basically, just cut out the background in a photo editing program and save the image as a png file. I don't think you can do it in Microsoft Paint, but in Photoshop, the background is transparent when you see a black/white checkered bg. That's pretty much it.

However, there are some doll makers out there, I think, that allow you to save your dolls with transparent backgrounds. www.sabrinasite.com is an example.

Thanks Kebin! I'll try that

I mean like the exact doll isn't solid! You know the CG ad when the model is double and the one behind isn't solid.

Oh, you need photoshop for that. You just change the transparency.

What kind of photoshop? I have adobe 7.0 and paint.net and Microsoft paint

I have Photoshop 5.0, but it should be pretty similar. You adjust the opacity of the layer. Do you know how to do that?

No

Ok, that is a screen cap to show you were the opacity bar is located. That is Photoshop 5.0, but it should be the same.

Anyway, to adjust the opacity of a layer, just click on the layer and lower to Opacity % to your liking.
