[Image refuses to have a transparent background]

Download and install the AlphaSpace plugin. You'll need to save your file in a format that supports transparency (like PNG).

Thanks. It looks like i was saving in a format that didn't support transparency

[Image refuses to have a transparent background]

first post here so forgive me if i've not followed a rule or rather

Trying (in vain) to get the background of this picture transparent

Its white right now and i tried alphamask

the whole picture looked like it had seen a ghost but it still wasn't transparent

the magic wand refuses to do so either

perhaps i'm doing something wrong?

thanks in advance
