    Creating a transparent gif of a white text

    Hey all,

    I've been working on creating a transparent gif using white text and I have running into a lot of problems. The edges of my image remains jagged and I'm not sure what I can do in order to fix it. I have tried making sure my text is anti alias and made sure to Save for Web ... Here is my save options

    This is how the image looks:

    Technically you shouldn't have to make it 300dpi to look good.. Most web based graphics or text is at 72 dpi..

    What Font is it?

    Btw, the size your graphic is only 1.3, it should be a bit larger than that.. Try making it bigger them resize to to the size you want. i suggest you don't make it to big then shrink it down a lot. you can get jagged edges from that..

    The jagged edges usually means a problem with the pixels. Change the size/resolution of image, cover it up, or try blurring it out will help.

    Or it could be the settings he/they are using to bounce it down at..
