Photoshop Help: Transparent Backgrounds

There are two different format that would possibly support tranparent backgrounds, GIF and PNG, however, depending on the color and compression, both of those format can easily put your sig over the limit.

Here is one for PNG, which is about 170 kb

and this one is for .gif, 140 kb. Although I think its very possible to compress .gif much further then this.


Note: Certain browser does not support PNG alpha tranparency such as some version of Internet Esplorer

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Eh, they don't do it automatically, but some software you only need to delete the pixle where you don't want and expose the background, and as you save, the software will autmatically save it as a tranparent alpha if you happend to save in those formats (like paint dot net) . Althugh it is sometimes easier to make "fake" transparencies, like using color matching the forum's background color.

I think that's done via a PHP script, where it refers a request for hot link to one of the image within a set directory.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
