Wahawk, thanks for the important information!
I did not think of that and this has happened to me before...pixels turned White upon saving!
Thanks again
Dave

When you have the image the way you want it, make sure you SAVE it in the proper file format since the FILE itself will still be a rectangle, but saving in a format that allows the 'transparent' pixels to remain invisible will be important since some formats automatically replace those pixels with white.

When I want to preserve the 'invisible' pixels I make sure to save in PNG, PSP (Corel PaintShopPro), PSD, etc. Then when used as an 'overlay' the resulting final image can be saved as JPG, etc and preserve the intended effect.

Question for PS CS6.
My problem is I don't know how to ask the proper question in Google...
To me the clip is called reverse text.
I made and "new", gave the dimension, filled the White space with Black. Then typed the text in White; thus reversed text?
However, my question is how do I round off the ends of the file from the square?
Thanks for any help.
Dave

You can make a rectangular selection, then from drop down menu "Select/Modify/Smooth" will bring up a panel where you can pick the radius size. If you use a radius that results in a too-abrupt change simply repeat the process with a smaller radius. ... and again even smaller if necessary. You can then fill that rectangular selection having rounded corners with a color or whatever. Do this on a separate layer if these instructions would ruin contents of the current layer.

I'm using CS3 and not sure if this has changed since.
