LView Pro tries alwasy to save gifs as gif89, with interlaced and transparencies. By default the ransparent color is the first one in the palet, usualy black. One way to avoid this is defining another transparent color or saving as gif87. For defining another color, en the third menu (picture?) chose "background color". and chose either the color of the backgropung of your image or a patte item which is not used. -- Carlos Th
