No, gif isn't good for photographs - unless they are tinted in one colour.

If I have a difficult image I usually try to match the background colour of
the page rather than using transparancy.
The only problem is colour matching - unless it is on black or white, and if
you save a a jpg you are likely to get colour shifts.
aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh !

It's images of a car so it does really - I'm going to have a look at the
gif option but I suspect it might look a bit iffy. I really want to go
the "transparent jpg" route as the image is being displayed on a
background. I may just end up doing the image with no transparency and
the background copied from the background it's going to copy onto but
that sort of defeats the object.

Hi Andy

Does it have to be a png file ?

Could you use a gif instead ?

Hi,
How do I export a PNG image from fireworks MX so that where the
background is transparent it actually appears transparent. I've tried
setting the Matte value to white or black and I then get bleed through
from the background. Is it possible to do this successfully ?

I need it to be compatible between IE and Firefox - the transparency is
a simple on/off - doesn't need to be any more complicated than that.


Cheers
Andy
