Keep Quality?

How can I save a file as a .gif without losing it's quality. As I require transparency for all browers. Any help?

The biggest problem with GIF is that it limits you to a 256 color pallete. If you need 24 or 32-bit (16.7mill and 4+bill) PLUS transparency then you'll want to use PNG.

PNG is your best bet. You'll have to write a letter to the makers of IE6 telling them how the dropped the ball if you want cross-browser support...

24 bit PNG is transparent if you set it to be.
