| I need help, quick! I cannot find a tutorial for it, since I do not know what it is called. I am trying to create a picture (a round bullet, actually) to use in powerpoint. So, I am using photoshop, and I've got a really nice bullet (or frame or whatever). It's round, and it's all I want. So, I tried it with a transparent background, and I've tried just straight out deleting the background layer, but it is still showing up when I insert it into powerpoint, so I have this nice object surrounded by ugly white.  How do I get that layer not to show up, and use just the image I created? I've tried both ways, saving as jpg. and as tiff.  |

| You need to save it as a PNG or GIF to get transparency.

| Are you using photoshop? You need to not have the layer named Background, if it's photoshop. Just rename the layer something else. Anything else.

| I uploaded it here. I know there's a way to do it, but I just can't figure it out!  http://www.churchmedia.net/MXC/showp...6&ppuser=41991 |

| I saved it as a PNG and got this. Seems to work OK. Give it a shot. (You have to scroll down on the reply screen to get to Manage Attachments  )

| It works in my Powerpoint 2007, so I'm not sure what else to tell you. Sorry.

| Rarely use Powerpoint, though years ago I did use a Powerpoint tool that allowed me to select a color within the image that I wanted to go transparent (such as a white background as long as nothing else in the image is the same color). It might be a bit crude on edges though but that could be another technique to check into. Look up "transparent color" in the manual for this technique.
