I am going to keep it posted at my site on th eindex page at http://www.theichain.com so you can see what went wrong

1. You saved the image as a gif and it contains elements better saved in a jpg format - the shadows specifically. However saving as a jpg has disadvantages too. You can save shadows fairly sucessfully in gif format using the procedure outlined at these links: http://www.pioneeris.net/ashton/IC/customize.htm

2. You need to experiment with the different choices when you save - in this case you did not set the background properly and so what should have a white background has a black one. Try this series of choices at each new screen-

- Select your image in IC
- File>Save for the Web
- Tick 'The selected sprite or group'
- Tick 'Fill them with the background colour
- Select the background colour of the page where the image will be used.
- You now have a series of previews on gif and jpg at various degrees of compression. Experiment with these and see which gives you the best result.

However having a read of the links above will result in much better quality gifs and though it seems complex at first it is really pretty straightforward.
