Hello All,

I have a question that I hope some of you may have an answer to... We are designing WWW pages for several campus departments and have run into a problem with placing irregular shaped (i.e., not graphic "blocks") art. When such an image is taken from Photoshop it also takes a white background with it - how can we set this to transparent? Any suggestions on how to get around this annoying situation? As I look at other WWW pages I see the graphics designed on a block - is this the only way around taking a white background with the graphic? Thanks for any suggestions! MN Mary
