You can’t get a transparent jpg as far as I know.

TIF, GIF, BMP and WMF easily enough.

I think you can make the background of a jpeg transparent with SignLab 7.1.
Bit complicated to describe but you use the clipping command after creating a
shape over the front of the image.

You can also do it without clipping if the background is pure white (or any other pure colour)
double click the image, press ctr and click on the white (or other colour in the pallette)

quicker than a clip.

If this is for the web, then stick with transparent GIF’s, JPEG doesn’t have that property.

If this is for print, then TIFF has the option.
