I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!!!!
Not the meaning of life, but rather how to make a portion of a created graphic transparent in Paint Shop Pro 7. (Almost the meaning of life.) It's so dumb and when you see the set you're gonna say, so where is it?!? It is a very small little touch and for some reason I just couldn't let go of it. But anyway, it was pretty easy, but it did take me what, nearly two days to figure it out? Turns out I knew how to do it all along, but forgot, or rather didn't know how to apply the knowledge to my particular situation. Oh well, in the process, I found some great tutorial links for PSP7. Cool. (I may post these to my website someday. Meanwhile, you'll just have to imagine. :-P )
Oh, and I also figured out how to add a border to a graphic. Simple. In Microsoft Image Composer, I had to create a box (X) pixels smaller than I wanted, where X is equal to the border size times 4
(times 2 for the x and y axis). Then I would apply a border effect and hope I did the math correct. Even then, the msic couldn't manage to fill in the corners and I had to do that myself! I was feeling like Fred Flintstone, carving out my graphics with a hammer and chisel! Yaba-daba-doo. Wilma, where's my brontosaurus burger?
