Confused I am creating buttons for my new topsite pages and cannot seem to rid my image of the white border around the logo. I first used the polygon lasso tool to crop the logo from the original image and pasted it into a transparent background. I then turned it into an animated gif. Any ideas on how to remove the white edges from around the black ring of the logo (see image) I've just about tried everything I can think of. You probably cannot see what I mean with this background, but on a darker background like blue or green it is really noticeable.

I hope I have placed this post in the right category.

You have to actually tell PhotoShop to make a transparent GIF. Are you using Save for Web? Take a look at the image below of the Save for Web dialog box... if there is any transparent area of your document it will give you the option to save as a transparent GIF.

Also make sure you don't have a background layer...
