I want to create a rounded rectangle and then post to my website such that it blends into any background color. Right now, when I have a background other than white, I see the white parts near the corner of the rectangle. In other words, say the rectangle is blue and the background is red. At the 4 corners of the rectangle I see slight bits of white. What do I need to do to prevent this from happening? I thought having a transparent background when creating the rectangle would work but after I flatter lyers the transparent part becomes white…

thanks,

brian

You have to Save for Web in a format that supports transparency, such as gif or png. And choose a Matte color that is the same or similar to your web background color.
