Background: working on a Mac, I design an image (often involving non-Roman characters) for the Web using a favorite program X (not Photoshop, which works very poorly with text). I capture that image using a screen shot, resulting in a .pict file. I open and manipulate the .pict file in Photoshop 6. When finished, I want to save it as a .gif (or even a .jpeg), selecting one or more colors to be transparent. Selecting a color to be transparent was a straight-forward matter in Photoshop 5 (by: 1. exporting the image in "Indexed Color" mode; 2. selecting at the "Save As" step one or more colors with the eyedropper to be transparent; and 3. saving as a .gif). However, in version 6, the "Export as Compuserve .gif" feature has been eliminated, and replaced with the "Save for Web" feature. (I cannot go back to version 5, as it was a site licensed, keyed program on our server and has been replaced with version 6). Has anyone discovered how to do this? The User Guide from Adobe does not directly address the question. Thanks, David Kanig Language Center Brown University
