Hello,

I have a set of 8bit png images with transparency. How can I print them with transparent parts white?

I tried following:

"File/Print" shows preview with transparent pixels black.
"Create/Contact sheet" renders transparent pixels black.
"Create/Strip of images" renders transparent pixels black.
"Tools/Batch processing" ... I can't find how to change transparent to white.

"nconvert.exe -transpcolor 255 255 255 card01.png" ... seems to do nothing, transparent color is still black

Please follow these steps (in XnView Classic's view mode), Stepan:
  1. Edit » Background colour... » Red: 255 / Green: 255 / Blue: 255
  2. Image » 32 bits
  3. Image » True Colour

Thanks, it works.

BTW is it possible to do the same in Batch processing? I see transformation "Convert to True Colours" but no "Convert to 32bits".

I tried…
  • Tools » Batch Processing... » Transformations
    • Image » Add alpha » Parameters: [ 255 ]
    • Convert » Convert to True Colours
… but the background turned out black. :-|
