    keep your graphic on layer one, remove the background layer. when saving for web, make sure you have the transparency set.

      When you create the image canvas in the first place it gives you the options to

      WHITE

      BG color

      or transparent

      Make your images and when you "save for web" make sure you have the hex color of the bg you are ready to save it for and do so. Also make sure the file format is set to gif, transparent and then work it from there.

              everything i do is self taught, and rarely the correct way to do things. but fuck correct as long as it works.
