I don't know why it's doing that to you (I use Photoshop 7.0), but maybe this can help?

you've obtain quasi the same result as i have (good thing: i know i don't need photoshop )

thx for trying, it spares me the burdun of installing to see it doesn't help

no I've been going through the spec of gif and it's not possible.
we need to assign a color to "blending" and that is only available in PNG picture format.

MODs could be allowed to use the PNG format ... please . .. ?

you may wanna know that:
gif is not good:

The only thing we can attach is gif or jpeg....jpeg's don't support transparencies

What program uses the PNG format? I'm so used to PS that all I use is .gif and .psd

That website is very interesting...only problem is I make a lot of animated gifs....can you make animated PNG's?

EDIT- Nevermind...the second website you posted explained it for me.

Well, I only became a mod about 2 days ago
And as far as I can see I don't have any special attachment priveleges.

I don't know if I could abandon gifs...I make more animated stuff than I do static things.

Plus, I have a pirated copy of PS anyway...they didn't get any money out of me

Reasons to use png:
http://www.atalasoft.com/PNG.aspx

here is a quote:
All About Alpha

Perhaps the best thing a PNG has to offer is what's called the alpha channel. An alpha channel is one byte of extra data per pixel (or palette entry for 8-bit images) that represents the transparency level of a pixel. A PNG image with alpha is capable of 256 levels of transparency.
What does all this mean? For one thing, you can antialias text and images so that sharp curves look good against any background. You can apply a true drop shadow which fades into the background. You can create images that take any shape or form. There are many possibilities with alpha transparency.

That does sound really good, but again, I'm still not sold until they make animated PNG's

toy around with png, and you'll never be able to use plain transparency anymore..
(it's like a wheel on the mouse: once you've tasted it, you can't live without it!)

like the city !!


U may wanna take a look at the offcial homepage:
http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/

and MNG is the png format for animations:
