hey all!
i have been making some digital art pieces for a couple websites,
and i was wondering how i would make the background of it "invisible"
i use photoshop 9.0.
Thank you,
Micahru
 
As in the image has a transparent background?

I'm not sure if you're referring to the artwork pieces or the websites, since you spoke of both being plural and you used the singular noun 'it'.
 
Sorry for not being clear,
i meant having the artwork have a transparent background.
 
in photoshop you can set the background color of an image to transparent, or by just double-clicking the background layer, unlocking it, then deleting it.

for websites, the only way i know of to get a transparent image on it is to save your imges from photoshop as a gif then select trasnparency as an option.

dont know if this is quite what ur asking, but i thought i'd try and help.
 
Aye. You have to save the image in a format that supports transparent backgrounds. Gifs are the most popular.
 
Sweet Thank you all!
Once again, [H]ard|forum has helped me out a great deal.
Thank you :)
 
the only problem with saving the image as a.png is that it is not as widely supported across all browsers and platforms. I would say .gif is your best bet
