Question about transparent backgrounds

[Robert Parker]

I know how to place text and make a JPG of it but the background
defaults to white. Is there a way to place the text on a transparent
background?

Thanks Bob

Hi Bob,

JPG's do not support transparent backgrounds, use PNG instead.

Cheers,

Matt
