How can I make a single color of a .png file transparent?

This is the Picture I currentally have:

I am trying to remove the black background, leaving nothing behind.

I can't use the eraser tool, because it removes part of the color of agacent picels, and I need this to be 100% to-the-pixel perfect.

Magic Wand, set to zero Tolerance.

Click on the black background, press Delete.

Thank you for solving the question that plauged me for almost 2 weeks.

  • OP already figured it out anyway, thanks to Sarkut's help.

If you'd be kind enough, I attatched the picture to this post.

I'd be grateful if you did it for me boltbait.big_smile.png

Rule #23 applies. Regardless of how nicely the OP asked.

Considering the ease of Sarkut's advice and that the OP found the solution acceptable, it was unnecessary to do the work for them.

I just wanted to take a moment to mention how insanely thankful i am for this post. I've been making my own custom tilesets for years with a white background. I am now using a program that doesnt detect the white as the background, it detects that transparent layer. I have almost a hundred tilesets that I would have had to delete pixel by pixel. Thankfully i ran across this post first.

I'm not sure why this washed up in the Newbie Playground area of the Tutorials+ section, or why I didn't spot it it's misplacement before (too hurriedly pointing out other rules I suspect :D).
