Does anybody know how to get rid of the annoying black box that appears after copying images? For example, I go to Pokemon Elite 2000 for some sprites, new computer and all, copy, say, an Aerodactyl, and when I paste it onto an editing program, the sprite is surrounded by this annoying black background. Deleting the background with tools doesn't work, because it's the same colour as some of the lineart. Help anyone?

that's what happens when you copy and paste an indexed image. try right-clicking and downloading the image and then try opening it in your editing program.

Prnt Scrn always works with me. When on the web page with the image you want and it doesn't have the black box, just use the prnt scrn button on your keyboard, hit ctrl + v on MS paint and use tools to cut out the image you want.

Take a screenshot of the picture and then paste the shot in MS Paint. Crop the image and then reapply transparency with another program if needed.
If the picture lies on a colored or textured background, etc. you can right-click it and select "View Image" or drag it to your URL bar to open it up on a new page with a white background (unless your computer uses some funky color for its default o_o)

I KNOW there is a way to remove the box. As I said earlier, I used to have this problem, but I somehow got rid of it. I want to simply copy and paste them without using some time-consuming method. I don't want to create a new folder for every sprite I want. Has ANYONE heard of a way to stop this?!

Folders, everyone? Lol, set your browser to download to the desktop (yeah, it's time to use that huge space for what it was meant to do), then everything you download is there for you.

Honestly though, I think it's just your program not supporting alpha. If you're using Paint, there's your problem right there.

PE2K's sprites have no background, but Paint and some other photo editting programs don't support non background images. I suggest downloading paint.NET because it supports non background images and have a few more tools than paint.
