Logo Problem
hello
I've been designing a logo for my site with Adobe Photoshop 6.0, and I want it to be a transparent background.
However, when I save it as .gif the edges of the text and other parts of the image become pixelated and I can't read the text.
What am I doing wrong?
How can I save the file with a transparent background and keep the quality that it has in .psd format?
Thanks!!!

Hard to help much beyond tips:
1. Use the same background colour in the .psd as it will be on the site because when you save as a transparent .gif it will be anti-aliased to match that background colour (making it appear to be smooth).
2. Post a sample so people can help you optimize it well
3. Don't anti-alias very small text (it will look like mush).

adding to #1 of Suzannes comment, make sure the color of the background you use isnt any of the colors used in the image, or these too will become transparent.
if the colors are the same, use similar but different colors,
ie: white text, white background on site, use light grey background,
black text, black background on site, use very dark blue background ...

Hello
I tried matching by background with my image background, but they appeared different shades.
I'm still working, I'll get back to you again
thanks

I wasn't clear -- if you develop it on the same background colour, and then make it transparent, it will not have that halo effect, and will blend in.
