Multiple colors transparent in picture-HOW?

[buannie]

I am trying to make multiple areas of a picture partially transparent, but am
unable to in Publisher. What programs would allow me to make this change?

If it is a bitmap, i.e. jpg, bmp and others, you need to use a photo editing
program. If it is a vector (.wmf) you can ungroup the image, select the area you
want partially transparent, right-click, click format object.
This link will take you to Paint.NET, it is a pretty good free program.

A paint program such as Paint Shop Pro. You would need to change each of
the colours to a single transparent colour for the image if you were saving
as a transparent GIF. You could use a PNG with an alpha layer, but there's
no guarantee that the transparency would print correctly.
