A lot of times when you use transparent gifs you get the weird staircase thing because of the way the program is interpreting the transparency pixels. It makes each pixel either 100% on or 100% off rather than feathering the pixel transparency. For instance if you had a black pixel on a white background with 50% transparency it would be grey but since the program doesn’t do 50% transparency it will be black and 100% opaque.
Solution is either make your image a flat jpg with the background color you are wanting, create the logo in flash, or create the logo as a psd and import it into flash. There may be other ways but these are a few.

August 28, 2007 at 8:42 pm in reply to: Are there “standard” broadcast graphics specs?Hey Jay,
Standard for Broadcast in the US is NTSC which is 720 pixels x 480 pixels so that is generally the way to go about describing the size.
A lot of people shoot out they want a certain DPI but that doesn’t make sense because you can have a tiny image at a high DPI or a super large image at a small DPI. So if you have the minimum pixel requirements you should be fine. If you want to throw in that you want a high quality image is good as well in case you’re dealing with someone who might know about exporting graphics.

I’m pretty sure you can’t disable it without maybe hacking into the CS3 system files. They might in the next version create this option or as more people complain they might add the feature in an update.
If you quickly click rather than hold the click the menu shouldn’t come up.

The folder to put your plug-ins is typically located at: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Plug-Ins (for Windows) or Library\Applications\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Plug-Ins (for Mac OS).
If you have installed Photoshop in any other location you should look for the “Plug-Ins” folder there.
Just drag and drop the plug-in file you want into the CS3 folder from your CS2 Plug-Ins folder, reboot Photoshop and it should work.
The CS2 Folder is at
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Plug-Ins (for Windows) or Library\Applications\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Plug-Ins (for Mac OS). -

Try searching for wheat and text without the author.

The author field looks at the login name not necessarily the persons name. Yours is “yikesmikes” –
I tried searching for “Rick Gerard” in the author and got nothing so try using his login handle instead.
Hope this helps.

Hey Warner,
This forum is open to anything you want to ask about web design, simple or complex. Some questions are more pertinent to this specific forum and some questions some people may not have the answer to.
For Flash questions there is a flash video forum and you might get more or better response there.

Another way to save a gif as a jpeg is change the mode to RGB instead of indexed color. Image Menu > Mode
