Photoshop Help!

<div class="IPBDescription">Transparency problems</div> Well, I tried my hand at photoshop and I tried to make a transparent, grey colored strip across the sig, and then this happened:

<img src='http://s93003126.onlinehome.us/autosig.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

How do I fix it?! (I mean the dark blackness at either end of the pic.)

The only solution I could find is to make the background white...

Try just making the background the same colour as the background of the forums.

BlackPlague

export as gif with index transparency

I can tell you why this happens, the halftransparent gray part darkens the background, so when you darken white, it becomes gray. But when you darken dark blue/green (whatever the ns forums color is) it becomes darker.

I suggest the same as BlackPlague or Jimmeh did.

Actually, GIFs can't do trancslucencies.

You're going to have to do PNGs to do partial transparecies. Even that requires HTML which IIRC, isn't possible in sigs.

I'd take the PSD, and color the background of the picture the same color as the post table does, then erase the excess.
