Problem with Windows 7 jpg display

Question

Using Elements 9 in my Vista-based system I created, by cutting and pasting, a jpg text & graphics image to use on a web page (www.yesatlanta.org). This looks fine on my computer. However, I discovered that, on Windows 7 computers, in all gaps created by cutting and pasting the background pale gray is visible. To fill in these voids I tried creating a white background layer and flattening the image - and I tried saving the image as a gif. The same thing happens. What to do?

Answer 1

Thanks for your patience in working on this with me. I followed your instructions as best I could.
I started with a blank page of the proper size, and clicked on the White Background option. I used the Pixlr Grabber tool in Firefox to select the desired area off the web page as displayed on my computer and copied it into the clipboard. Clicking the T symbol (the Horizontal Text tool at the left of the page?) didn't do anything, so I simply pasted  the clipboard image onto the background page. I had to adjust the size to fit. Then I tried to flatten the image, but Elements said I had to create an editing layer (?) first, which I did. Then I flattened the image and uploaded it to the web site landing page (revamp2.php).
Again, on my Vista computer it looks fine, but on my wife's Windows 7 system it still shows the editing residue. I must not be following your instructions properly.
