To Test the transparency of your image:

1. upload your GIF or PNG file to your Bengal account.

2. Create the URL to the image (e.g. http://Bengal.missouri.edu/~glgqk3/test_Transparent.gif )

3. enter (type or copy and paste) the URL of your image into the text field, below, and click Go!

If you do not see your image, your URL is not correct. Double check and adjust the URL.

If you do not "see through" the parts of the image you have designated to be transparent, edit the image in your image editor (e.g. Photoshop) and save with the proper settings. See:
