You've got to have something that lets you perform a wide variety of digital art techniques, all in one app - in other words, you need DrawPlus X5! It's today's discount software promotion, available for a limited time.ĭrawPlus X5 is a powerful graphics studio that gives you the power to create digital art, illustrations, paintings, sketches, logos, and more.

Thanks in advance, as I say your advice is very much appreciated.You know you've got this burning core of creativity, but you just need a way to channel it into reality! Sure, you've checked out some super-pricey graphics editors, but none of them really floated your boat. I also tried another method of having the image on a white background and setting 'white' as the transparent colour, but this resulted in the same problem in Serif DrawPlus 4. It may also be important to note that I made the GIF in Adobe Photoshop CS2 by cutting around the image and pasting it on a transparent canvas. Note: I have tried other formats such as PNG, but Serif doens't register the transparency for some reason. Does anyone know if there are any patches to solve this problem or any ways around it? Or will I have to get a newer version of the program? It's quite probably that Serif don't support this version anymore since the newest version is actually Serif DrawPlus 8, but if anyone has experienced and/or solved this problem before, any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm having trouble using GIFs with transparency in Serif DrawPlus 4, whereby if you insert a GIF image with transparency it's fine at first, but when you come back to your work after closing and re-opening the program, the image stays the right way up whilst the transparent template is flipped horizontally.
