Change background to Transparent

[SquireDude]

Hi folks,

I have a s question that I am sure has been asked before but I was unable to locate the answer.

I have several images, mostly have white backgrounds and I would like to change the background to transparent.  Is there a quick method of doing this without using the magic wand to capture all the foreground items and then cut and past onto a transparent blank image.

 

Is there a way of saving and having the background be transparent?

Or

Capture the background and make it transparent?

 

Thanks in advance

Use Color To Alpha

For plain white or black backgrounds I usually use AlphaSpace (because of its simplicity).

Note: you must save the image in a format which supports transparency, like PNG. JPGs do not support transparency.
