What exactly are you trying to do? Is it just a .gif image, or an animated .gif?

I had issues with artifacts showing up after making the background of an existing animated .gif transparent.

The fix for me was to select every frame of animation and right click, then choose "automatic" which got rid of the artifacts. This was in Image Ready however, not Animation Shop ( which I also have ).

one other thing, what are you doing when you save the file. Are you using the optimization wizard?

Use the optimization wizard to save the file, and then click on the customize button when you see the choice to save as a quality file or a smaller file window ( the one with the slider ) Then click on the Partial tranparency tab and try playing around with the pixel settings in there. I think what is happening is it is converting the edge of your picture to white because there may be just a few pixels that didn't or don't get erase fully and it's dithering them to the closest color and causes your picture framing issue.

You need to use a matte color, that's all. That will solve your problem.

A matte color? I wasn't aware of there being a difference. Could you extrapolate on that?
