Since I already had this made and I was short on time this week I decided to use this for my assignment. This is a Valentines webset I created for the PSP activities area. All of the buttons were created as transparent gifs. The lines, header, and background however were not. The original image I used for the buttons was a black and white clipart image from one of my other programs. I opened the image in PSP and removed the original background and colored it in as I wanted it. I then made multiple copies to use for all my buttons and added my text to the buttons. I then went through the steps to create the transparent gif and saved in gif format.

The method I use to create the transparent gif.

1. Background color set to white

2. Colors/Decrease Color Depth/256 Color

3. Say yes to the dialog box that comes up about the layers

4. Select Optimized Median Cut/Click Ok

5. Colors/Set Palette Transparency/ Select Set Palette Transparency to value of current background color/Click Ok

6. Save in Gif format and that's it
