I’ve been working on a design for a shift sticker for the Z. I came up with the following but I don’t know how to make the background transparent… Does any know how to make the background transparent and wouldn’t mind doing a quick photoshop on the image? I should be able to print off a few from my pc. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v464/Nedim/shift5182.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v464/Nedim/shift5182.jpg) ---

I think I saved it with a white background so when I print it on clear “paper” the white will print with the actual logo. ---

the file has to remain a photoshop extention… if you save the file as anything other then that it will print out white… every time ive saved a file with a transparent background as a jpg the fucker saves the background as white… even if you erase it and then save it… so do the printing while its still a photoshop file and not a bitmap or jpeg etc etc… thats what has always worked for me anyways… but im useing version 6.0 not cs2 ---
