But I want to be-rid of the white background...and just have the ships sticking out of the bar with UOG in it...
No matter what I do, I just can't seem to find out how to do it.
Could someone please enlighten me?
Cheers :cool:

mwerte's solution works, of course.
If you want to keep the gradien behind the ships and have it as a .psd, well you only need to delete the background layer (double-click it, then delete it), so the background will become transparent.
Oh, and remember, not every format supports transparency; only .gif, .png and .tif (but you don't want gif or tif, believe me:)take .png)
PNG is the sharpest and best-looking. JPEG is really fuzzy, and GIF doesn't support as many colors.
Don't use JPEG if you're saving an image to post on the web. Only use GIF if want the image to be animated.
' Wrote:I only knew the .gifs could do transparencies, not the other 2. why do I want .png not the others?
.png gives you a lot of quality for a low quantity of size.
.gif has visibly more quality loss when compressing the image. .gifs should only be used when you want to animate something.
.tif is the file format you choose when you are working on a professional (non-web) base and don't care about the size. .tif format allows you to save the image without compressing it any further (-> no quality loss!) and even supports layers and such.
So, png is the best choice for anything web-based. I really love tifs though, my HDD is full of 'em, I need them for any print I do, but, really, you don't want those kind of things on the internet.
