    "Artist king"? You give me too much credit. I'm not even good at graphics design! And while it's true that I took part in creating and maintaining AS, but similarly, it wouldn't be like it is now without the others' help. This isn't limited to just the staff, but also you members who have helped liven up the community thus far.

    Hiya. I don't think I helped much, but if what I suggested turns out to be useful, I'll be honoured. No need to worry about likes either, as long as I can help :)

    I see. Pretty simple, it's merely because of the image itself. That part is still not smooth and not fully transparent. It's not very visible in the gif version because you saved it as transparent without the matte option enabled, but it's more visible in png. (Don't try jpg -- it can't save transparency.)

    I suggest you put a background layer with a certain colour (white, black, grey, whatever) beneath all the other layers, so when you work on the main components of your image, you'll see what's actually transparent and what isn't. The solution is simple -- just clean up that part. You can use brush, or marquee, or whatever tool you think is best for the job. Select the area where the shadow remains and delete it.

    Hi! Sorry for the untimely reply; was too busy before. Let's see, maybe you can show me the image in question? In general, it sounds like your gif animation has rough edges, which don't go well with backgrounds. Is the gif transparent? If so, try to add a "matte" when saving the image. Matte is a colour you can define to make the edges of your image blend against a background colour in a smooth transition.

    Adding matte works for other formats like jpg and png as well, though you will need to disable transparency. Unlike with gif, transparency works perfectly with jpg and png, so the only reason to use matte is to save the image size. For gif, this is a great way to help with rough edges.

    What you need to know next is what exactly the colour of your background is. Let's say you want to make a transparent signature. That means your targeted background is the posting area, right? It looks white, but it's not totally white. 100% white would be 255/255/255 in RGB (red/green/blue) code or #FFFFFF in hex (hexadecimal) numbers.

    How do you find out exactly what the colour is? Easy, take a screenshot of the posting area, put the image into Photoshop/GIMP/whatever you use to edit your image, and use a tool to sample colour (it's called the "eyedropper tool" in the English version of Photoshop). Click on the posting area in your screenshot and you should get its exact colour code. You can then simply put this code into the matte field when saving.

    Or I may have misunderstood everything and it's not this kind of problem you're having. If so, can you clarify?

    おはよう！　久しぶりだね、nanashi！

    俺はすごく元気だよ。最近の困ったことといえば、住んでる地域が梅雨入りして雨の日が多いから、洗濯物が乾かないことくらいかな。今日も雨だ。雨の音は落ち着くから好きだけどね。
    nanashiは元気にしてる？　毎日を楽しく過ごせてるかい？
