Using
IrfanView to Convert Xara 3D Images
You
can download a free IrfanView program here
at CNet.
1)
Open IrfanView program.
2)
Click on File -> Batch Conversion.
3)
In the next window on the right-hand side, look In
your hard drive for the saved .png graphics.
4)
Below that window, select all file types and click on
the graphic(s) you want to convert. Those files will
appear on the top left Files box.
5)
Select the Output option, which is where in your hard
drive you want the converted files to be placed.
6)
Now on the left side below the Files box, select the
Output type of .GIF (CompuServe GIF). Click on
Options.
7)
Put a check mark in Save Transparent Color and enter
64 in the box next to Set the transparency value to
palette entry. 64 is for the color black.
My
graphics had a black background. To make the
background transparent, you have to select the color
that you want made transparent. If the black
background is okay, then don't use the option. For my
first example, the background doesn't have to be
transparent for a black page; it does for any other
color. But my second example, a black background looks
weird with a graphic that has a drop shadow effect, so
a transparent background works best. It also works
best on a page with a white background.
