Hi, I am starting a forum and I wanted to change the default logo to a custom one but for some reason my photoshop saves the GIF in a choppy way. I would appreciate it if someone could take 1 minute to do this for me. I need a 240x55 GIF image. I need it to say "Admin Boards" (minus the quotes) Admin should be red and Boards should be gray. Color code for "Admin" is: f63100 Color code for "Boards" is: 8c9499 Background should be transparent. I would like it to be a simple font. Something web 2.0-ish As you see, this is basically an image which reads admin boards in 2 different colors. It wont take more than 2 minutes MAX to complete. Thanks in advance!
The transparency is causing your image to be jagged. You can solve this a few ways. Here they are in descending order of ease: 1. Save the GIF with the background that it's going to have on your site instead of making the image transparent. It's foolproof and easy. 2. Use a matte - this is basically a few pixels of background around the edges of your image, which is otherwise transparent. 3. Save the file as a transparent PNG-24 instead of a GIF. It will be transparent, it will have smooth edges, but it won't be handled correctly by IE, which changes the transparent background into a pale blue one. Hope that helps. Good luck.
