Hi, yes, MJW - I guessed and accept the deficiencies you describe. However, the result on my attempt is clearly considerably better than jgt1942's second sample above - compare almost anywhere on the image, which shows the faults you describe. OK, on a solid white background. Horses for courses, I suppose; probably much worse results with grey-scale photos, and coloured background. wd

This is .png of magic wand>delete on your first sample image. I think it's a lot better than your second image if you look at the tongue zig-zag, etc. Confusingly it displays with a PDN chequer background in Honeyview, but not in Windows Photo. I've just made a .pdn with a white background layer, but I find that .pdn is not an allowed file, which I find really, really, really strange!!! I've a lot to learn! If you're interested, here's a link to the .pdn file on my Google Drive; https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gNOqll5_ON2q0FQRn4gu33ZTMkGpAxgu

Hi, I'm a newbie finding my way round, graduating from W10 Paint with some difficulty. Alphas and plug-ins are way above my pay-grade at mo. What you could try is magic wand a white portion, either contiguous or global as appropriate. Then simply delete the magic wand selection, which then becomes transparent. Also try try tinkering with tolerance for the magic wand selection as there's no gradient between solid off-white and transparent no pixel. My problem why I'm here is dear old Paint's transparent/opaque toggle, which I can't find here. Even copy/paste or move a selection on a transparent background obliterates everything in the selection area. You paste transparency, not nothing, if you see what I mean. Paste in new layer works a bit clunky, but even more fiddly to "toggle" back to opaque.
