i am creating a gif image containing text and i want the background to be transparent but it always shows up with white background no matter what different ways i tried...
i did:
1. create new (with transparent background)
2. added text and did save for web.
somehow gif image with text over white background is created.also:
added transparent layer then tried to do magicwand after rasterizing but somehow it won't let me >:(i am hangover and haven't eaten and i don't know what to do but to run around upper haight naked.
help.

i don't know if gif's can do transparencies, try a jpg or png. or use fireworks. or go under help and use the export with transparent bg feature.

when you're in the 'save for web' box - make sure the transparency checky boxy thing is checked.

i hate to even ask but - do u have transparency option checked?

turn your background layer off in your psd, and when you save for web, click "transparency" with no matte... ?
