I am trying to save an image on a transparent background. Using Paint
Shop
Pro OR Gimp, a background is added automatically even when I don't want
it.
Has anyone else encountered a problem?

Has to be in a format that supports transparency: GIF or PNG (others?).

I'm using GIF and it tells me that because of the format the image will be
saved as a merged file (even if I have a transparent background).

Both PSP & Gimp do this.


Make sure you are using "GIF89a", which the later version of GIF which
supports transparency (and animation, for that matter). The earlier
version (GIF87a) does not.
