I'm going crazy!
 Anyway, I'm working on a new xanga skin and I'm trying to make a part of the image partially transparent so you can see some of the background through it. But everytime I save it, the transparency doesn't show!  The weird thing is that it'll show up in the Photoshop window but after I save it, the partially transparent aspect of it is gone, only the completely transparent part of it works. I've never tried this before so I don't really know how to do it.  Here's the image so you get an idea of what I'm taking about: http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=trendygirlv13 It's a work in progress. The purple stripes is what I wanted semi-transparent.. so you can see the background. I did set it to like 70% opacity and you can see the transparency in Photoshop... but it just won't show up after I save it!  I don't get it.. cuz the transparency worked for the area around the girl/flower.

QUOTE(x_angawhomps @ Nov 27 2004, 2:10 PM) I think the only way you can do it is having two separate images, one is the background and another is the transparent flower girl. Then you overlapp them. LOL! That's exactly what I'm doing right now. It looks like it'll work... I'll update if it does.
