Static .gif has ugly white color around the text

How do I make it (the dark pink color text) clean and crisp?

Here is the .psd file.

 

Where is the dark pink color?

 

Are you able to access the attachment in my first post? I am talking about the letters 'S' and 'R'.

 

You need to set the background (bottom layer of the file) to the same color as your web background. Then you won't see the white area around your letters when PS makes it a transparent .gif - I am sure there's another way to do it, but this has always proven effective for me. Maybe a set transparent color command?

 

in photoshop when saving gifs set colours to absoloute.

 

hsrpete: am using a background image and not color..I'll try some more w/ transparency w/o resorting to creating the gif w/ the same background.

needlehost: How and where do I set the colors to absolute?

 

sri, a suggestion. When saving as web in photoshop, go to 'matte' settings and set it the same color as your background (black in this case) and transparency should be on - assuming ur background is transparent. Your preview will show you a black outline around your SR. Should work.

 

ancer. Thanks, that worked.

Sri... You are very welcome. I'm happy for you.
A very happy new year to you.

 

Also try PNGs - they may give better results on some cases....

 

PNG's are supposed to load faster as well, or so i heard
