I know it's impossible to do but i'm asking anyway.

Is it possible to put a transparent image on a web site, transparent enough so you could see the web site background beneath it.

I know that i could fake it in photoshop by putting it already with the background but this cannot apply for what i want to do.

I already got my .psd that is on a single layer and transparent but how to save it to preserve it's transparency.

Thank you.

Very commonly done. There are two formats that support transparency, .gif and .png. "Save for web" in photoshop into one of those formats and you should be able to do what you want.

Please post back if you need more help.

I should have been more specific,

I want to be able to see through an image of glass. I know that i can make the one color of my choice to make an image tranparent, but in the case of glass, i want to be able to see the background underneath the picture NOT surrounding it like aroun a drop shadow or something.

I hope it's clearer ?

What you can use is the 8-bit (usually enough, depends on the palette and image) alpha channel for a PNG image. Windows IE doesn't support this rendering, but other browsers do (Mozilla, Opera, even IE for the Mac). The only cross-browser method is using a plugin, like Flash, to obtain these effects.

Ok, thanks everybody for your inputs.

Zenno.

why not just use a css filter for it? like:

oops.. my bad. i meant like this:

ok this is getting annoying :(
change the { } to < and >
{img src="whatever.jpg" style="filter: alpha(opacity=70)"}

You again,

Hee Thank you very much for your input.
