![]() well... this is how you do it, the basics atleast. it sould be easy, index it choosing the least amount of colors you can with it still looking "good". |

![]() That is one way to do it. Another is in Photoshop 5.x youcan select Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S to Save for Web. Select GIF and go to the Matte setting there. Play around here, and you can find your correct setting. (Image Ready does the same thing) I usually matte out to what the background color will be. In The Asylum is a blend of both the light and dark background. |

![]() the easiest way to do it is set your gif's background color to your page background color. this is the important part: set your color mode to indexed and after it asks to flatten it, make sure the checkbox for transparency is on. export it as a gif and it will give you an eye dropper to pick the color you want as transparent. |

![]() I guess I am wierd....I do it different. I dont flatten it...but I delete the background later. I then go to File, Export, and then Gif98a or whatever it is. I click on the gray color box and enter the RGB value of what I want the transperant color to be.....Seems to work OK for me. |

![]() I save for web as GIF, transparent, no dither, 0% loss, 256 colors, and use a color a tad bit lighter than #240000 for my matte. |
