Subject: Re: BMP to Transparent PNG for IE

Hi Brett,

I am not sure what is the problem. This seems to be coming from libpng.

I would remove a few lines which are not necessary. Also, you have a Transparent property which is not available in the latest version. Do you have version 1.1?

Try this as a first test,

gGraphic2 := TPNGGraphic.Create;
gGraphic2.LoadFromFile( 'c:\tbbn3p08[1].png' );

gGraphic2.SaveTransparent := True;
gGraphic2.TransparentColor := gGraphic.RGB[ 0, 0 ];
gGraphic2.SaveToFile( 'c:\tbbn3p08[1]10.png' );
gGraphic2.Free;

Also, what is the value of gGraphic2.ImageFormat after LoadFromFile?

Best regards,

Michel
