    Guys, for a relative I must change the color of a file. Normaly I can do that, but this .png file is a transparant one. And when I change the part that needs to be changed and save it, it is no longer transparant anymore.
    When I open the original image and save it, it is still transparant.
    So only after I add a color and save it, the transparancy is gone.

    Anybody can give me directions?

    What are you using to do this? And my suggestion would be to open the file up, do whatever in photoshop, gimp, whatever, and then save as different format. PNGs always have balls with transparency.

    It is a file that transparant for the half of it. The part that I need to change color is not transparant.
    I tried to save it in jpg, gif, but no succes. And although I have photoshop, I would not know how to change the color in there. I use a simple program, photostudio.

    Well, I tried it with trial and error with photoshop and it did the trick so far, even in png. Not as good as a designer would do, but for now it will do.
    Thanks for the tips and offered help!

    use The GIMP ... it can handle PNG file transparency properly.
