Product png image zoom , black background

Hi!

I use opencart 1.5.5.1 and it has an automatic zoom when hovering product images.

I use png images with transparent background. When i hover the mouse over the image to zoom, the backgroung is black, which is not good looking.

I need to use png images cause the template I have, looks more beautiful.

Thank you in advance

Defeat the zooming.

any other option?

High enough tech, yeah. The hollow (colorless) in .gif and .png takes on whatever is behind it. There is a lot going on during a zoom, and black is absence of color (RGBW goes black with no LCD or CRT pulse, YMCK, basic in print and art, goes black with LCD or CRT gunning, the roles of W and K between them are flipped). There is no way to overcome that while zooming, unless a color is part of the image where the hollow is now. Zoom is already consuming enough resources (much as smooth rather than ignore-appearance dragging is expensive in cpu terms). For a shopping cart there is certainly no compelling reason to flip the image to an alternate by scripting that for the moments of every zoom, it's doable but you're not Disney.

Is the black background added by the image zoom?

Install the free demo of Magic Zoom or Magic Zoom Plus. They do not add a black background behind the image zoom.

See how it looks on your site.

If that is all it does, one-step ungraduated zoom to then pan, then there shouldn't be any black.
