Forum:Calling Help to any Expert Image Editors

Hello. As the title suggests, I need someone who is good at editing images. To begin I made a Wiki background for WikiSein, but there is one small problem. I could not get the image to fade into the background. The image is. If someone could fix this and put post it back on the wiki (if it won't let you directly do it on the same image name, put it on a different name and I can post it) that would be great. I read 3 different ways to do this with GIMP, but none worked. If you could make it so the bottom 20 pixels (around there) could fade into the blue background, that would be great. Clicking on the image will force you to download it, but GIMP can read the file. Thanks 20:23, April 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * You might want to talk to the Logo Creation Wiki - they're the people who do this kind of stuff.
 * You can find them here (Monchoman forgot to link)  Random Time  20:30, April 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Something like that? Also, I replaced the blue background with transparent so you don't have to change it in case you decide to change the background color on the wiki itself. Sovq 21:33, April 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's what I wanted, but, the file size is too big to use, and I do cannot seem to lower it without loosing the fade. 22:04, April 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Use CSS instead. Put  in MediaWiki:Wikia.css. Just change   to the image url.
 * It did not work. I cleared my cache, but it is still the same image. 22:34, April 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Have you removed the current background from being used via the Theme Designer? It may be overlapping the 'new' background image. Sovq 06:15, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I tried that too. The image then just does not appear. I have tried many combinations, but it will not work. 20:04, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Chrome says it doesn't understand the rule, which is odd because the rule is fine.
 * I would like to thank you all who helped me, and every one that submited images. I was able to make the image smaller by converting it into a GIF. I was able to submit it through theme designer. So, once again, thank you all for two days of effort. I will never forget the niceness of all of you who helped. 20:24, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, didn't work
