Help Fading Images for web

I am working on a web page and want to have a photo fade to the background. I have done my masking and faded the image to transparency. I went to "save for web" and chose a .gif but when the final image is saved it reverts to a white background. The image still has a fade but with a white background behind it. I have read many tutorials and they all say the same thing....it doesnt seem to work for me. Please help as my deadline is drawing near! Im using CS. Thanks, DAN

I'm not sure if this would help much, but I use imageready. Either way, what color is the background of your site? If you put a layer of that color behind it, then it should work...


uhm... could i see what it is you're trying to do so I can better understand the problem. *smiles*
