Mickmac Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Hi, I have tried everything, read all the tutorials, all the forum posts, but I just can't seem to get it right. All I want to do is make the background of an image transparent. I have a website which sells handbags, purses etc. and it would be great if I could do this, then the image on a white website page would look like it was "floating". This is what I have tried, 1. Open the image, 2. Select the magic wand tool, and set the tolerance to 25%, click on the background, 3. Click "edit", "cut" and the background takes on a checkered appearance. 3. Click "file" "save as" (either PNG or GIF) But when I open the finished product the background is always white. Any idea where I am going wrong ? Hope it is something simple. Thanks, Mickmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 When you open it i presume it opens in the default view (Windows Picture and Fax Viewer) which automatically has a background of white. This could be your problem, to see if the image does have any transparent areas view that image in a slide show and the white should now be black. If this isn't the case please reply back, however this is similar to another plugin request - Chroma Key plugin request (Automatic removal of colour). Please have a read of this and tell me if this is similar to what you are after, and if it is express your opinion as a reply on that link so we can get something done abut it.
