I need help using Photoshop 7.0, i would like to make the black background in my sig, transparent...

Can someone tell me how to do that, or can someone do it for me.

Duplicate Background layer, Delete the original Background layer, then use the Eraser tool and delete everything untill little grey squares appear everywhere, then put what ever ontop and *magic* transparent background.

There are a lot of ways to do transparency

magic wand is sometimes useful, but only on 1 color backgrounds, otherwise you need to use the eraser.

Partial erasage ftw.

Color to alpha is great when you're converting scanned B&W images to color. Otherwise I use wand (adjust tolerance to suit) or magnetic lasso (occasionally) or eraser (for slow but total control).

The best way to do it is to use the eraser and start with a big brush and just go down as you need more precision. If you use the magic eraser, you tend to have some pixels that don't get picked up and you can't really see them until its already published.

Save as a .PNG when using alpha transparency.
