You want to remember to "merge visible" rather then flatten your image then save as png. Hope that helps!

I will give that a try thank you!

If that doesn't work, try this...

(using PSE)

- Select the Magic Eraser tool (right click on the eraser in order to see the different erasers available)

- 'erase' the white areas by clicking on them - you'll see a checkerboard pattern.

- click "Save for Web", select one of the PNG options, make sure "Transparency" is checked, then click OK.

I've been dabbling in trying to make a "fancy" signature & can't quite figure it out. You can probably see what I've gotten so far once I post this....but my question is: How can I get rid of the white background behind it? I created it using a transparent background thinking that would do it, but when I go to save it (as a jpeg) so that I can upload it, the white background appears.

Can anyone offer any help? Also, I have the height set to the maximum # of pixels in the signature guidelines, but it still seems small to me compared to some others that I see. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm not much help here, I was unsuccessful at it lol. But I wanted to bump this so maybe someone who can help will see it!

You need to save it as a PNG not a jpeg with a transparent BG! Try making the image a bit bigger if you feel its small. HTH

OH....thanks so much! Looks much better now! Still trying to get the sizing thing right, but at least, now I don't have the white background. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

thanks for the tips -- you nudged me to make my own signature It's still a little small, but good enough for now... maybe I'll fiddle with it more later!

Thanks again!
