How to best optimise gradients with text?

[Francesca NY webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Whats would be the best solution to optimising an image where the backgrund is a gradient (best optimised as jpeg) and there is text on top, which looks terrible as a jpeg. Do you have to create a tiny slice where the text is and keep that a gif?

Thanks in advance :)

Use the Selective JPEG Compression feature to keep the text sharp.
