Issues With Making Symbols

Alhazred

Hi, I've been using this program for a while and decided to try my hand at making symbols for the first time. I keep saving my symbol image into PNG format, and importing with "Alpha Transparency" clicked, but the negative space I've cropped still carries over into the import latched onto the image. I followed the tutorial here and looked through the posts, but I can't find an answer to this. Thank you kindly for your help.

So, you've created an image in PNG format with transparent areas in Paint Shop Pro.
How have you then converted it into a CC3 symbol?

Alhazred

Thanks for your response. Actually I started with a simpler program that wasent carrying the transparent area over, so I switched to Adobe Illustrator C3. I thought it work out better, but now everytime I try to import the image after modifying it on C3 the program crashes. Appreciate any advice you have one this, thanks again.

Try Irfanview instead ?

How are you importing the images into the program?

Alhazred

I was using the symbol manager to just import the png images into the catalog per the tutorial, and it worked just fine for my first five symbols. They were simple though, not requiring transparency at all, and I didnt start having issues until this last symbol.

I got it figured out, thanks for all the help.
