Transparent background

[Fisker]

I have oval photos and photos torn into pieces that I want to put on a gradient background without the usual white background showing. I know JPEG does not support tranparent backgrounds but supposedly GIF does. I am using Photoshop CS as my primary graphics program. I have tried creating transparent backgrounds several times without success. Can anyone help me with this?

Hi Fiskar

The only other format that saves as transparency is PNG but PTE does not recognise these, so I think you will be stuck with Gifs - I find that the Gif quality is not quite as good as the PNGs, which is why I often use an alternative a/v software which does recognise PNG (and other effects).

Hi Fiskar

Just an idea:

Use PhotoShop to make new image (your show size) with two layers, one your gradient image and one your image.
