More Photoshop Headaches - 1/6/2005 16:51:43   
OK, I am beginning to understand PS a bit more. I created a graphic that looks very good as long as I keep a background color behind it. When I make it transparent, which I need it to be, I get a white halo around it. Can someone share the secret for getting rid of the halo? Here is what it looks like right now.

When I display it I see the lettering, the black shadowing, and a completely white background. I don't see the black background.

I loaded it into PS and see it. Probably you used the "Save for Web" option. In creating the image PS adds the white as an outline to the drop shadow so it won't blend into the background. Use "Save as" instead.

set the background thee same colour as the target page and then pick *that* colour as the transparent colour.

see http://members.tiscali.fi/dave_pirjo/test-area/examples/button_backgrounds.htm (it's done in fireworks but it's the same principle in PS and then to image ready

Beautiful. That solved it nicely.

Dave, I don't see where I would designate the transparent color in PhotoShop.

Look for the bit shown in the image below, click on the color you want as the transparency, and then click on the button highlighted
:)

Based on PSCS, should be the same for others though
