Dear,

I am trying to create a few transparent GIFs using Adobe Photoshop 4.0. Making a transparent GIF is no problem. However, I only managed once in entering a background color and consequently in avoiding an annoying border around the text on the transparent GIF. I don’t manage in doing that again.

Using the following steps, I obtain a transparent GIF, but without the coloured border arount the text. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? *File > New > Mode: RGB Color, Contents: Transparent. *On the new image, I just put the text like on any other image. *File > Export > GIF 89a Export > At the item "Transparency From Mask" I enter the
RGB-value of the background color of the site where the image is to be put, when I do so I see this color in the pattern. I leave the option "Palette" on "Exact" and
I leave "Interlaced" checked on. Then OK and Save.

Thank you in advance for any help!
