Hi,

I've got a sign (text and picture) in Photoshop. I got the original sign from the internet, and have cropped around it all to leave what I want. The background of the sign is checkerboard (transparent).

When I copy and paste the sign in to other programs (word, paint, corel) it gives it a white background???? I thought it should be transparent?????

Anybody please help me???

Thanks, Nick.

On photoshop 8 or 9 onwards the option is on the file menu called save for web, this should save it as a transparent gif file, Older versions of photoshop its also on the file menu but called export gif (or something like that)

Depending on what you plan on doing with it, I would suggest you save as PNG as it will retain much more quality than gif.
