Transparent gifs ??

Hello,

I am trying to make a transparent gif; basically I want white text on a transparent background. I have Photoshop and Illustrator when I make the image everything looks fine than I save for web and if you put the gif in front of a color (in HTML/IE) the text edges are blocky, it sort of looks like it is a low Res. however it is a normal res. like 72 or 96. The other interesting part is that if I save for web with a colored background it looks fine.

Any idea, on how I can/should be doing this??

Thanks,
Norman

From my expierence with GIFs this tends to happen.

You would be best saving it as a jpeg with the background colour set to the background of the appropriate webpage. If you need any help then feel free to contact me.

Maybe "aliasing" will help you. It is a parameter you can set in photoshop to create smooth lines, smoother text, etc.

And please save a GIF as a GIF, not as a JPEG (you already said the GIF renders better with a colored background).
