One at a time, and I used Corel's Photopaint to convert the PSD files so PSP 7 could view them (it can't/won't view grouped PSD images). From there I added the background and resized the images. Now I have them at the correct size, and it takes as long as to open the files, and use a 2 fill tools to change the background and button color and optimize the original files (1 minute tops per image).

The pre-matted ones take more work, as that's removing the default white matte and using a color specific one (and possibly applying a mask).

Thanks for the reply. I use photoshop 7, but the process has illuded me. even when I pick a color for it, it doesnt come out that color. the whole thing is really getting annoying.

Photoshop is designed for photography, it never was suited for web art. It's learning curve is also too high for those starting in the graphic art field, and it produces files too large for the web, too.

That said, make sure you double check your gamma settings and get it to match your monitor profile's. That way what see you in the PSD will be the same outside of the program as well.

In PSP 7, all that's needed is to fill the first layer (the background) with the color you like; If needed, remove the white matte (with the Remove White Matte option under the Layers menu); then click the Manual Color Correction option; chose your color; click on an area of the button, and the default blue will turn to the color of your choice (if it's too dark/light/washed out, fiddle with the 2 check boxes -- Preserve Lightness and Saturation). Save that, merge the image and save/optimize the entire image.

Easy as 1-2-3.

Chris
