im not sure a jpg can be transparent C5 handles transparent images fine, try gif or png with transparency

jpgs can't be transparent - a better way is to place your image on the background that you will place it on and then cut it to the size you want, taking some background within the cut.

I am having this same problem. I uploaded my logo.png file to the Global Scrapbook with the name My_Site_Name which immediately placed the logo.png file in place of the site text. But, my logo.png is displaying with a white background with a gray border. I've also tried saving my logo as a png-8 and saving it as a gif. The logo is always displayed with a white background and gray border. Any ideas?

Is the background and border being set via CSS?

don't forget, that it isn't automatically transparent if its white, you have to tell it to be transparent when you export the image

Sorry to take a step back here....how do I export with transparency? What program do I edit with? Hopefully not PAINT. :)

Thanks for your time!

most photo editing programs can do it, gimp, photoshop etc

Steve - I am not very versatile in CSS just yet. Is there a particular code I should look for to see if a background and border has been set? I was thinking this could be where the problem lies as I work with images with transparent backgrounds all the time so I didn't think it was a problem with the image itself. Thanks!

chaseroosters - Download Gimp (www.gimp.org) if you do not already have it. You need to add a transparency layer then simply delete the background on your image. Save the file as a png.

Steve - I figured it out. It was a setting in the CSS. I simply removed the background color and border. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!!
