Here is your image with a transparent background.

When you save as gif make sure "Transparent" background is selected.

I also suggest changing your font, or making sure that the Anti-Alias is set to crisp or smooth, cause it is too rigid.

hello

thanks yr mail, dear i don't know what resource you use for see image, if you will use Internet Explorer (ie) and must change ie background color from tools + internet option----general tab & color, then y can see real image that is transparent or none,

i see yr attachment their is text lost his quality,

please check that,

hi faisal,

you really need to specifiy a Matte color for text saved with transparency. This needs to be as close as possible to the color of whatever the text is over - ie if the text is over a blue background you need a blue matte.

If the text is over a complex image or pattern then pick the mean average color and use that. If your text is nice and clear the matte will be minimal and you won't really notice it.

Failing that, try making the bg of the text the same as the bg of the page element it is over.

hello

Thnaks yr mail, yes i am almost their using your help, but dear i think we can't make generic transparent image that we can use on every background, i thinks it's bug of photoshop,

once again thanks,

its not a "bug" of photoshop - its a limitation of the GIF format. Roll on PNG24 support thats what I say!

hello

i understand but my dear Java or VC do not support that extention, if you design icon or image for yr application in that case what y you will do.

Faisal

i don't develop applications, only web sites and occasionally browser based web applications.

For web applications and on the rare occasions when I have to use a PNG there are ways to force support. Try
this article from a list apart which gives you couple of different ways to implement PNG properly. I'm sure they can be adapted for Java development

hello

how are you, thanks for your usefull link, i see that but that also do not support Java or VC, nice discussion with you i hope we will meet again with new issue.

once again thanks for yr kind help

Faisal,

It is not impossible to create transparent gifs, in fact most gifs are transparent. As for the low quality of the image, that is due to the fact that the text was not properly done. I will upload a different gif that has a transparent background as well as text.

Here is how I saved it.

Delete background from layers menu
Save as gif

Here is what my preferences looked like

hello

Dear ! how are you, thanks your mail i see your attachment please y also see again in Internet Explorer and changed IE backgroud black or dark gray, using matte option we can make transparent image for some specific background, but now there is no issure just transparent image, main issue is this how we can make Generic Transparent image which i can useded for every backgroud,

Please see last mail of senior member ...icy_polecat... their is very usefull link i hope you will also learn to much with the help of that
link.

Regards,
Faisal
