White "border" around pictures with translucent bg.

I'm trying to use a picture on my website that is fairly large, but I want to use a translucent background on the picture so you can see through the parts there isn't an image to my true background. My problem is/has been/hopefully won't always be that when you save a gif and try to display it like that, it has a "border" of white around the edges of the picture. Same thing if it's saved as a .png and you obviously can't save a translucent background on jpg.

I'm curious is there any workaround for this besides actually embedding the picture into the background itself and making it part of the background?

Alternatively, you can use something like this for your code:

Code:

<IMAGE border="0" src="yourimage.png/gif"></IMAGE>
