Now any irregular shaped or rotated JPEG photo that is placed over text, is automatically exported as a PNG image, instead of as a JPEG, so the transparent parts are really transparent. With this update Web Designer is smarter about automatically exporting as PNG images when required. JPEGs can't be transparent, so if you created an irregular shaped JPEG, perhaps by editing the photo outline or cutting a shape out of a JPEG, and placed this photo over some text, even if you made it repelling, then this often included the text in the background around the outside of the JPEG. This caught a few people out with 5.0, as discussed in this thread.
