Bleeding graphic

Howdy gang...

Help!!! I need a graphic expert!!!

I've made a pic which I want to eventually use as a splash page. It looks
great in PhotoImpact but when I view it in a browser the "halo" effect
bleeds like a...well nevermind..it just bleeds everywhere!!!...you get the
er..picture :)))  

It makes no difference whether I save it as a .jpg or a .gif and I'm not
sure which way to jump with the options given when saving it.

The default settings which might as well be Chinese to me are:

JPEGQ75 Progessive
Subsampling YUV411
Quality 75

When saving as a .gif the only options offered are either no compression or
RLE.

You can see the mess at:

I figure it's something pretty simple and straightforward because the same
problem occurs with any of the lighting effects, not just this one.

Any PI experts out there that can shed some "non-bleeding" light :)))))
