Transparency

Well i have Photoshop Elements 4.0 and to make a GIF Image, i guess i need to add transparency to my image. The thing is is that i can't find it anywhere on Photoshop. I found it on Preferences, but that didn't do anything.

If im doing anything wrong just tell me.

Or if you Really Really want to help you would tell me how to do it.
//what im trying to do is probably to complicated for someone that is doing this for the first time.//

oh and if im in the wrong place then tell me where to go.

Thanks

i wasnt aware we were advertising a product.

as we are merely offering a place for ppl to get there psp related freeware.

if you were to visit your psp forums there are hundreds nay thousands of links to several psp sites (pspupdates, psp-hacks, psp3d).

as we spend most of our time in the psp forums i didnt think it would hurt any - merely giving the link to everyone

if this is really against the rules i will edit my sig.
sorry about that.

as for the original question

codeman do you mean you want to make a pic transparent or the background??

 

well it says that i have to save to the web and it has to have a transparent layer once i save it.

 

when you first click new to create a new photo.

you can pick translucent as a background colour.

i think thats what you are wanting

 

Thanks Raven. Thats exactly what i was looking for.
