I doubt it's anything you're specifically doing... but it could be something incorrect that Photoshop 5 is doing - it's pretty old now (7 years?)

What type of transparency are you specifying for the PNG file. I use PaintShop Pro 8 and have found that the Pronto software does NOT like the Palette Transparency in a PNG file (does really wierd color changes to the image). The only things that will work are either No Transparency or Alpha Layer (Image) Transparency.

Not being familiar with Photoshop, this would be the first thing that comes to mind. Especially, since you have not outlined what button you are attempting to use from the gallery. Is this button one you imported or one that was supplied by Philips?

I agree it's old but it was supplied as bonus on the CD when I bought Adobe Premiere many years ago. Although my versions of both programs are a bit long in the tooth, they both have served me well up (for the level at which I operate )untill now.

Looks like I might be headiing for an upgrade !!!

This is possibly an issue with my version of Photoshop. (But in all truth it's probably an issue with me - as I must admit I do find Photoshop a bit bewildering.) I don't seem to have in the transparency options the ability to specify which channel to use so I am assuming that it is Alpha.

After flattening the image I can save it as a.PNG. There are several save options they are Interlace - none or Adam7. Filter -none, Sub, Up, Average, Paeth, Adaptive. So far I have been using the default setting of "none" for both these options but perhaps they need changing to make the file more Pronto friendly.


What I am doing is this, I have defined borders, a background panel and firm buttons on my system page. On my home page I select insert button. The standard pronto button appears on the page. I right click on the button, select properties, go to the appearance panel. I remove the standard images. I insert the new images, I make sure image transparency is selected. I close the properties panel. I then run the simulator and the wheels fall off.

I guess I 'll just have to simplify my design and use the stock graphics ( not that I'm much of a graphic artist but after reading some of the Photoshop tutorials at [Link: absolutecross.com] I have realised that you can quite easily create some quite nice eye candy .)

Thanks for your input.
