I am working on watermarking images and am using the StringShape to write to
the graphics of images. It is working well, but I have run into a bug (or it could be me). I have a sliderbar for the transparency. The value of the slider is put in an editfield (transfield). In the paint for the canvas I have the below code (well more, but I cut it down) dim i,i2 as integer dim s,s2 as stringShape ////////line 1 ///////////// s = new stringShape s.text = waterfield.text s.fill = val(transField.text) g.drawobject s, picX, PicY The problem is that the slider goes from 0 to 100. If the slider.value is less that 50 the text is 100% transparent and above 50 it is 100% opaque. I was hoping to move the transparency of the text by the fill. Any ideas?

So what I should really be doing is playing with the fillcolor not the fill.
I guess that I will make it really a brighten routine and call it transparency. Thanks for the quick response Joe.
