GIF or PNG should work. What programs are you importing to?

simple…
1. make sure psd does not have any backgrounds.
2. then do the cutting and delete the unwanted area.
3. file \> save for web \> choose gif from the drop down menu \> check on transparency checkbox and see that pic background(if shown in preview) is gone…
this leaves zig zag and jagged edges…search for tutorials online…dont know if KF has a tute on that.
hope it works 🙂
