Need help - for smoothen lines of a calligraphy

[Sarosa]

Hi, I need urgent help. I have a picture of a calligraphy for a webpage. As I need only the writing, I deleted the background to get a transparent background. The result is that the lines of the letters are fuzzy, not smooth anymore. What can I do? Thanks for your help. Sarosa

Welcome!

Its a problem with transparent GIF-formats. All semi-transparent pixels will be with a whiote bachground, so youll always see them.

Only PNG will support smooth edges, because of semi-transparent pixels. But IE 5 and 6 dont support PNG very good.

You can also set the Background of the GIF to the Background of the webpage.

I used this a few days ago on one of my Websites and it works. As long as you use CSS in your site its very easy to integrate.

best wishes,
hope it helps
