(Since I am using a tiled background, the cadet images have a slight "halo" effect around them, but is only slightly noticeable)
ISO 9000 Notes: HP 6200C Scanner was used to create the master image (1600x1200 pixel size, 300 dpi resolution, TIF format). Adobe PhotoDeluxe BE was used to crop the selection, perform an object selection, cleanup the selection, apply initial transparency, and save in PDD format. Adobe Photoshop Elements was used to resize the selection, refine the transparency, and save in GIF format. Ulead Gif Animator was used to optimize the image and add comments.
