Per,
GIF files do support transparency, and I've loaded them into Java 3D and
mapped them onto transparent objects... in fact, I even use Paint Shop Pro!
In PSP you can set the GIF file transparent color by selecting Options in
the Save dialog.
I believe the other format people often use (not used it myself) is PNG
which I think PSP also handles.
Sincerely,
Daniel Selman
