No way around that I know of except to do a bit of manual editing if there are some jags you find offensive, like those at tops and bottoms of loops.You can find the name GIMP almost everywhere when you talk about software to replace Photoshop. So you have to accept a slightly jagged edge to the resized logos either way especially if you are enlarging it. The penalty of doing that is, where the transition colors are will no longer be part of the Transparent area when you save the result. When you change size you have to choose Resize rather than Resample because Resample will create a lot more colors again to make edges appear smoother. I decided to reduce the number to 256 using Decrease Color Depth from the Image menu. Your original logo image that you attached in #1 has a lot of distinct colors according to the Image information dialog, more than I imagine were present when it was created. That way you can check Use Main Window color in the PNG save options and not have to bother with clicking the image to identify the area to be tagged as transparent. Show the Main window color through the transparent area).

Choose a color that you are sure is not present in your logo and Check the top option in that Viewing tab to Show the Transparent Color for PNG files (i.e. I am not sure how you got there.įor opening and saving transparent PNG images I prefer to set a distinctive Main window color in the Properties/settings dialog from the Options menu. It appears to be much the same size as your original logo but with different colors. The bottom one is your image from post #4 which you describe as distorted. The top logo is your original size, with the larger and smaller versions below it. That is attached below as well as some of the settings menus I used. I made an enlarged and a reduced version of your logo with Irfanview and have put them onto a background using the Insert Overlay/Watermark Image function from the Edit menu. I cannot agree that Irfanview is unsuitable for this sort of work but you undoubtedly can get better results from more specialised software. The question is only: whether it's a bug or "features"? This annoying problem is certainly the PNG and ICO (which Irfanview also does not allow save semitransparent areas). The situation is such that Irfanview is able to display multibit transparency (though probably not 16-bit/channel?), but can not save it back. When try view this three test images in window mode (or close and open Irfanview in fulscreen), this display OK. Note: In fullscreen (even if Main window color is set to orange), when try view this image one by one, then background color shift to black.

If Irfanview actually display only singlecolor (1-bit) transparency, then result should look something like this:ġ-bit transparency with dithering (try download and show in Irfanview)ġ-bit transparency no dithering (try download and show in Irfanview)

This is Irfanview screenshot (when "Main window color" = background, is set to orange) This is original created by old PaintShopPro 8 (24-bit color + 8-bit transparency) - (try download and show in Irfanview) Irfanview really displays only one color in the background, but if image contains transparency/alpha channel, then background color blended with this. I think that's "one color transparency" not the whole truth.
