Need help here
I designed an emblem using Illustrator CS3
Then I exported it as PNG
After that I filled the remaining background with hard pink to make it transparent using Photoshop CS3
The emblem is then resized to 24x24 pixels with the format of 256 color bmp (also tried 24 bit bmp)

The hard pink doesn't seem to be completely transparent, it still has some traces on the emblem's edges
I also tried making a hard pink coloured square and place it behind the emblem in Illustrator CS3 so that I made the emblem with just using one software, but it still has some traces on the edges
Can someone help me?

if there are traces of pink around your emblem's edges, that means your emblem design has some transparency to it. If you are resizing an image in Photoshop with Bicubic, that would be the cause of it. Switch to using nearest neighbor.

It worked, thanks
But it's kinda hard to fill the pink if the emblem's shape is a bit complicated (even in Photoshop)  :heh:

I honestly don't quite understand what you're saying
I'm just a rookie designer, not a professional
I just design stuffs for fun
But I checked the emblem's transparency (in Illustrator in the form of vector) and it's 100%
I exported the vector into PNG
Then open in Photoshop to fill the empty spot with pink

it's pretty easy to put pink pixel by pixel on a 24x24 when you get the hang of it  :heh:

What program do you use?
Even Photoshop can't make magic wand tool precise since the image is very small and pixelated
Imagine trying to pink a pic of a wing, the gap between each feathers, the agony :heh:
