Saving the image as a TIFF (.tif) will give you the option to retain any layers within the original PSD file along with any paths and channels that you may have created too. Transparencies will be preserved.

Save it as a format which supports transparent background like PNG, GIF, TIFF, etc. (PNG is the best) DO NOT save it with JPG/JPEG, it doesn't support transparency.

To save it as PNG, select Save As from File Menu, a dialog box would appear, now select PNG (Portable Network Graphics) from the drop-menu and choose Save after giving it appropriate name.
