Hello Graalians well this thread is mainly for Graphics people so um yea i was wondering, because this is my first time using gimp, i was wondering how to put the transparent effect on? like say if i wanted to make a diamond but see through how would i do that?  

It depends on what program you're using. I use gimp, so I'll help you through that. There are tool settings in the tool box, there's a slider with a label called "opacity". The higher you slide it, the less see-through the object you're drawing. Too cut around the shape so there's not a white box round it, find the magic wand, press ctrl + x. If that won't work, right-click, colours > colour to alpha. Press ok in the window that appears.  

Ok cool thanks
