How to make background transparent?

[Vericlaims]

Hello, today I downloaded Paint.NET so I could make some things for my company, I made this image for my page, and I can't make it transparent for it to match my black background. Here's the image if needed.

Hi Vericlaims, welcome to the forum.

I'll first point you to this URL: http://searchpaint.net/ It's the custom search for all things Paint.net . I'd highly recommend bookmarking it for future use!

Using that search tool, try the two keywords 'transparent' and 'background'. You'll find loads of results including tutorials. Choose a few and read them through.

Another method is to download a plugin to do the job more quickly and easily. There are quite a few available, but two that are frequently recommended are:

AlphaSpace and Grim Color Reaper

Thanks!

I installed this plug-in @AlphaSpace, it's working very good, I only have to test it on a black layer.

Edit: Aparrently it isn't working on a Black Layer, I think I have to change the tolerance :S

Toggle the transparency color from White to Black using the radio buttons.
