Re: photoshop question...
Well, since the magic wand does not work due to the shades in the image.
So I used the guides as aid (View - new guide).
I'm not sure whether you want the metal ring with it or not.
Add 4 guides 2 vertical and 2 horizontal.
If you want the red dot only then place them 25 px outside the border
So you do 4 times "New Guide"
First: Select Vertical and enter "25 px"
Second: Select Vertical and enter "127 px"
Third: Select Horizontal and enter "25 px"
Fourth: Select Horizontal and enter "127 px"
If you want the metal ring with it, then you should use the values 3 and 149 (3 px from the edges)
Now use those guides as an aid to make a nice fitting selection.
Do CTRL-C to copy it.
Now start a new image: File - New
Set background to transparent
Press CTRL-V to paste the selection in the new image.
Now select File - Save for web.
Since you want some transperancy, Choose GIF
Make sure Transparency is selected
Choose for Matte a colour that is close to your website backgroundcolour (but not a tone of red)
Select 256 colours, since to lose resolution when you select less.
As you see, I used a white matte. That causes the white border. This is because the pixels on the edge are anti aliased, to make the image look smooth. And that is exactly why it is so important to use the background colour of your website in the matte. Otherwise you'll have strange borders like this.
