I am making small pictures to use in an RPG we will be playing online. I created ALOT of the actually and I have a problem with them. There are alot of white dots surrounding the edges of the figure. here is the actions I take

I use photoshop 5
load the figure, magic wand and select inverse, delete background, export as gif.

If there was a way to save them as a jpg i would love it. Main thing is I want is a transparent background so that when WE load them onto the gameboard only the figure shows up.

you can see my results in the link below

You are using the Magic Wand and the background is white (correct?) so that is where the artifacts are coming from.

Try using the Layer > Matting > Defringe
