Gif with transparent background.

Sorry, i'm a little to busy to trawl the forum for explanations. Could someone tell me how to save my jasc psp image as a gif without it saving to a single layer and end up having a white background instead of transparent one? Help appreciated.

not sure about the single layerage, but with the transparency you can go into colours -> set transparecy based on a colour, then save as a gif. (or save first/set transparency. It's been a while since I've used it)

Can't seem to get it to work, everytime i set transparency and save, or vice versa, it reverts back to a visible white background. Grr, oh well.

there should be a save option to preserve transparency - there is in photoshop.

also, I may be subject to major correction here but, you can't have multi-layer gifs

Figured it out, had to export using the gif optimizer. Looks like poo, but it'll do! Thanks for the advice anyway.
