Tutorial > .png to .gif?
 
In Photoshop, what is the best way to export a .png transparent file to .gif format, without losing it's quality/background transparency?
Does anyone knows any tutorial on the net?

not sure you can do that, as png's handle transparency better than gifs, it's a bit like asking for a honda to look like a porsche but don't quote me on that.

I think your transparency would have to be pretty complex to have a problem converting to .gif. The most you can do is try.

You just use Save for Web... in the File menu.

PNGs support variable transparency. GIFs do not (only binary transparency). There is no perfect way to convert a PNG to a GIF and preserve the transparency.

I'm a moron, I can to do it in Photoshop so easy... :D
1. Open your .png file in Photoshop and copy it merged into a new file.
2. Add a new white layer under the image layer.
3. Press W to select the Magic Wand Tool.
4. Set the Tolerance to 0 and uncheck the Anti-Aliased option.
4. Select the image layer and click on any white area.
5. Hit Delete.
6. Save for web... voila.
