iammcallum - don't know if this will work when the file is uploaded but I played around with my old software (Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10 that runs on Windows Vista  :) ) and I have created a png (Portable Network Graphics) file. You will have seen from yansan's comment that when he created a png file it was too large to upload to rootschat. I too have cut out the footballer from yansan's jpg file and created a small png file. In my world the png files I call transparencies and I can take a copy of the png file and add it to a jpg file; save the jpg file and the png file becomes part of the jpg file.

I will upload your original Peter Johnstone file with a png and jpg file embedded into it. You should see the png file shows only the cut out figure wheras the jpg file shows the figure and the white background. I will then upload the very small png file . If this works you should be able to download/save the png file. When you add a png file to a jpg file it will nrmally have an outlie and the outline can be dragged by the corners to create a larger image to add into the jpg fie.

I will check out the png file after I have posted this comment + files to see if all is OK.

ianmccallum - checked the png file after poasting and it download Ok and I uesd it to add to a jpg fi;e withut problems.

The size of the png file is w0.89 x h1.22 inches and that can be expanded by dragging a corner of the file when the original is copied and pasted onto a jpg file.

Hope that helps.

After seeing all the efforts of Eggy1948 to make the transparent PNG available, I found an online service to share the original files at maximum quality, here are the links to download them:

I added a second version as I wasn’t totally satisfied with the realism of my previous colorization (though you might prefer the first version, sometimes “real” colors can feel a bit dull).

Here’s a jpeg of the new version:
