Dear friends, I'm trying to make a text with a transparent background for exporting in dreamweaver. Unfortunately I've noticed that during the export process my text quality becomes ugly. I've tried to use the maximum number of colors and the best definition, but I can't achieve the result that I want.
Anyone has an idea to solve my problem?

Thanks all!!

So you're exporting text with a transparent background from Photoshop into Dreamweaver?

How is it ugly? Do you mean there are jagged edges?

Does the web site have a solid colored background, or is it a complex pattern?

One rule of thumb for saving transparent stuff is to always have the background of the image in Photoshop be the same as the background on the site. This way when your text is anti-aliased, it will calculate your site's background color into the process instead of white. If you have a green background on your site, and then you use a white background in Photoshop, then you will probably have little white outlines around your text on the site.

It would help a lot if you posted a picture of what you are having trouble with.

like deker said, make sure you have the hex code of what color your webpage background is (6 digit numbers and/or letters, you can get it in dreamweaver) and when you go to export the file from photoshop, select that same hex code/color as your matte in the export options

hope that helps
