Ok I am trying to take png images and use gd in php to compile two-three png images (created in PSCS2) into one rendered png image.
The problem is this... the transparency in the individual png files is not translating into the final rendered image. In researching the php aspect of this, it seems that all three png files have to use the exact same color pallette. If I'm not mistaken, by saving as a png, aren't I dropping the unused colors? Therefore making each png file a separate pallette? Or no?
I hope this wasn't too confusing. I guess to simplify what I'm trying to do is take three separate png files and layer them on top of each other. A background, a mid section and a foreground. And I want each png to show through, so the transparency on the middle and foreground png files is where we are having issues.
Can anyone possibly help me out here on forcing the exact same pallete in PS CS 2 for my png files when I save them? Thank you in advance for any help at all! :D
