Saving a JPEG transparently?

[axeldrummer]

Hello!

I use CS2.

I'm trying to save an image as a JPEG along with it's transparent background.

However, for some reason.... when I save it... no matter what I do (highest quality, no matte, etc), there is still a white background.

When I save it as a GIF, it kills the quality but has a transparent background... any advice?

So it's like I can have high quality but no transparent background or low quality or transparent background lol....!

Thanks a ton if anyone knows how this mystery is solved.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
If you going to work with graphics you'd better do a litle research on the subject.
JPG's doesn't have transparency.
GIF's do.
PNP's are the way to go because they support alpha transparency.
There are pros and cons on each of the formats, to suit your needs you got to know them a bit try wikipedia.
