Publishing Help Request

Hi C.O.! Can you share your original image you are using for this? I can take a look and see if I get the same result.

It's possible that the image file contains elements that are not translating well to Flash.  You should be able to correct it by using a PNG image. One way to convert it to a PNG is to: 

1. Open the image in a photo viewer, such as Windows Photo Viewer.
2. Take a screenshot of the image in a screen capture program, such as Windows Snipping Tool.
3. Save your screenshot as a PNG file.
4. Insert the PNG image into your Articulate content.

Hello Mike!

Attached is one of the tabs. I created it using shapes in powerpoint then saved the entire thing as a png. Used GIMP to add a layer of transparency afterwards.

Thanks C.O. That PNG is publishing ok for me using PowerPoint 2010. I've attached my file. It is possible that something might be happening to it in GIMP.  Can you try to set the transparency in PowerPoint and see if that is any better? That's what I did in the attached file.

One way to do that in PowerPoint is to go under Picture Tools, on the Format tab, in the Adjust group, click Recolor.

Click Set Transparent Color, and then click the color in the picture or image that you want to make transparent.

Or you can use the Background Removal tool also on that same Picture Tools Format tab.

Did that in PowerPoint (2007) before resorting to GIMP because of border noise, whereas I got a crisper image when the transparency was added via GIMP.

I recreated the images and it seems GIMP is the culprit. Thanks Mike!
