How do you make backgrounds transparent?

I managed to make a basic sig but I can see the white in the background and the FF background is a slightly different color.

I suppose I can color the background the same but it would be better if it was transparent.

When editing the image in the program or w/e you're using, make sure the background on the document is transparent, and when saving it, save it as a png.

What program are you using?
I know Photoshop has the option of making your canvas transparent the moment you start the program, or thereabouts. Post what you're using and we'll see whats up

Paint.Net for the layering/cutting/pasting and PhotoFiltre for post-editing and text.

Awesome combo.

I wouldn't know lol, never used PS

I have seen it compared to it though o__.

Hmm. Well, lets try to break this down.

- Is there any option on the menu bar for editing a canvas color?
- Is there an option to remove all colors from the canvas?

If there isn't then I'll d/l it tonight and tell you how to do in the morning

Made the background transparent but didn't work o.o

EDIT- I think when I upload to a hosting-site, it saves as a JPG. Maybe that's it.
