To make a transparent gif in Photoshop at least in 4 - I won't buy 5. ;-)
Not till they fix the color, type and layer problems - In fact I am
thinking of getting Fireworks instead of Imageready.

Do you have GIF89a export plugin? If not you should get it. Change the mode
to indexed color, export through GIF89a export, select the color or colors
you want transparent with the eyedropper, and save as the gif file name
that you want it to be.

Personally I use Debabelizer first to reduce the colors in the image but
that is a choice I prefer and an extra tool and step in the process.
