PSD isn't a compressed file type. They have layers that let you change the image and can only used in Photoshop or other PSD compatible software. :P Can you show me the image? Is the background white? Wouldn't it just look gray then?

no, it's one layer. the original layer was transparent, and i filled it with 43% black...so the thing it's going over will be "colorized" black.
i know about the PSD thing, hence the reason i was asking about another way other than the two already said. and considering it /is/ a PSD, i really can't show you.

Screenshot if possible? And include the layer palette.
But I think I get what you're saying. If you want to put transparency over an image (or whatever else) on your layout, making an image that has a low opacity won't do that, even if you save it as a .gif or .png, both of which allow transparencies. You'd have to use a code filter for that. Let's see if I can find it. I remember it being Javascript and if I'm right, then you can't do it because MySpace doesn't allow Javascript. |

Make sure you see the checkered pattern because it means it's transparent. |

you could always just use an opacity filter using css.
