more than one transparent color in a gif file?

[pkgibson]

I have a graphic a customer wants to make transparent for the web. It is a globe with a drop shadow. When I do my old trick of putting a gaudy colored background and making that the transparent color, I get several shades of the gaudy color inside the drop shadow. Any one know of a way to make the more than one color transparent in a gif?

Or, does anyone have an idea of how to make a drop shadow transparent?

Pat did you try PNG?

Check to see if this works for you.

Something wrong while exporting to PNG 24. This is the good one.

That might be an answer except the image is very colorful and the more colors a PNG has, the larger the file. They decided to do it a different way in house.

I appreciate the help and will use that method in the future.
