Is it possible to create a round JPEG image?


trying to loose this border round the image, any suggestions or is it infact impossible?

You'll want something with an alpha channel... png, tga or maybe a gif if you're willing to go to 8bit colour.

Do you have the original image? you could cut it out and set it with an transparent background in PS or Fireworks.

as mentioned above PNG is a very good option

From what I remember, there's a handy option under Help > Automate > Create Transparent Image or something like that. You select the area you want made transparent, it'll come out as a PNG.

for web viewing you can do it either using .gif or .png format.

.gif




.png



they both have advantages and disadvantages. a transparent gif is pretty much supported in every browser, however it can only contain 256 colour values, so not ideal for photograhy.

The .png file is supported in most browswers - but not all. (not suppoted in ie 6 and older for example). But, it's compression is much friendlier for photography.

another option would be to apply a round (white or same colour as intended background) vigenette in your favourite photo editing software!

which works well for printing
