How can I make my image retain it's transparency? Right now I have a logo, It is the background layer, but it is transparent, or atleast it seems that way, but when I save it, and export it, it automatically takes on a white background! NOT GOOD! I want it to keep it's transparency, but I don't know how!

The format of the image needs to be gif or png if you want a transparent background. I would recommend png because it keeps the image quality, gif does not.

I'm trying to load it into Counter strike source, so I can use it as my tag, but supposable they only support jpg,bmp,and tga, I already tried Tga, but to my surpise, even though they say they support it, CS:S said it wasnt supported, so I am totally out of ideas.

As far as I know, you wont be able to have a transparent background with jpg or bmp. Im no expert on this sort of thing, so there might be a way but none that Im aware of.

You can't have transparency in JPG, unless the program supports a transparent range of colors/color.

From what I've read about CounterStrike Source is that the sprays have to be 32bit TGA 256*256, although some people say 128*128. With or without transparency. The problem is that the only program that cteates the correct type of TGA is Photoshop V7. Appears newer versions of photoshop and ANY other drawing package does not create the transparency in a form that Counterstrike likes and you get the white background.

Boo!
