Hi all,
I'm new in the group and hope for help. In the editing-programm I used before I had a FILTER who produced different ways of transparency in a picture, i.e. from left to right, from the middle to all sides of the picture, in waves and so on.
Do we have this in Xnview?

Hello Barbara !
…Question: what is a BBCode, please?
• This is the set of markers used in the fora to choose the text-style in the messages you type.
- This is only text, and very similar to the HTML markers, except that BB-Code is simplified
and uses square-brackets […] instead of angle-brackets <…>.
- In the edit window (when you write any message), they are available from the tool-bar under the upper title-field.
Example :
shall render “blah blah” as
bold. Only select the string, then press the
B button, and the trick is played !
- Same for the others I and U…
- There are too codes as text for the smileys you can add (displayed on the left-side board) etc.
- Personally, I've a HTML (free) editor able to write BB-Code too (useful for very big messages)
with its embedded stuff (from a menu), or better with a profile-patch I made myself…

Although XnView has no built-in filter for this particular effect, you can always extend its functionality by
integrating Adobe Photoshop compatible plug-ins.
- AAA: Transparent Vignette (free)
Use to allow layer beneath to show through in a vignette pattern.
- The Digital Artshop: Vignette Plus (£2.50)
A collection of ten different elliptical vignette styles in one handy filter
- MediaSpark: Image Editing Filters » Vignette Transparent (free)
Image editing filters for edges, transparency and white out
- Xero Graphics: Soft Vignette (free)
More vignette effects than any sane person could ever want
Let's remember that XnView is not – and was never meant to be – an image
editor. It's a graphics
viewer which happens to be compatible with 8BF plug-ins. As such it doesn't support
layers (=
Ebenen), and you can't set the foreground/background color.
Because there are also a few other
quirks that need to be worked out, using plug-ins with transparency effects in XnView can be a tricky venture.
- Download and install this plug-in.
- Download this image and open it in XnView.
- In View mode, go to Image » 32 bits.
- Go to Filter » Adobe Photoshop Plug-In....
- In the Plug-In Manager, go to MediaSpark Filters » Vignette Transparent... and click on the Start... button.
- Push the slider for Vignette Intensity to 255 and leave the value for Center Mask Size at 0, then click OK.
- Repeat step #6.
- Exit the Plug-In Manager (OK).
- Go to File » Save as... and save the image as PNG file.
When looking at the result you'll notice the bug I was referring to earlier: The effect is only applied to (exactly) 3 quarters of the image.
I'm confident, however, that Pierre will find a way to fix this.

Troken, do you mean “How did Pierre fix the problem” or “How to make a transparent vignette”?
I can only answer the 2nd question

He, thank you
well I thought there was some new miracle-feature in the latest beta to make transparency.
