I am using Roxio > Easy Media Creator 9, and would like to make an image background transparent, so when I put it on a color panel, the grafic shows up and the rest is the color of the background. I located a forum using > Easy Media Creator  10, and did the steps, but it did not work.

Open the image in PhotoSuite. Click on Tools > Mask Cutout by Color. Use the wand to click on the white background. Click Create Cutout. Choose the Cookie-Cut It Out option. Click OK. Press the Delete key on the keyboard to delete the now-cutout white background.

Save the image as a transparent png file ~ Click File > Save As and in the File of Type drop-down box choose png and click Options. In options, click the radio button for Transparency=Yes. Click OK.
Click Save.

I added to color panel, and still get white background. Can anyone help and tell me what I am doing wrong.

In what project do you want to use the cutout? I assume its Videowave since you mention color panels.

Why don't you create the cutout using edge tracing and save the cutout to an png file
What you want to do is overlay the cutout on a white panel. Is that correct? If yes then add the cutout file to the overlay track and then use the Settings to adjust the transparency.

If this is not what you want to do, please give some details.

I would like to add a yellow color panel in video wave, then add an image as an overlay, and have the yellow surround the image, without the white boarder box. Using edge tracing can be tedious if a intricate image. I was looking for a color dropper that you could change all white, for instance, to transparent. This way no matter what color of color panel you put it on, the white area will always be transparent.

The overlay is a video but see if this thread will help you do the same for still image on an overlay track.
