i just got photoshop cs and i was wondering how do u make an image transparent in photoshop :confused:

use the "magic wand" to select the background area around the picture

then press ctrl+shift+i to invert the selection

then do a quick ctrl+x(cut) then ctrl+v(paste)

then u need to delete the background layer

and there ya go

anything that makes it transparent without photoshop? such as picture it!?

[yaustar]

Paint.net or Gimp (both image editing programs)

freeware?

another way is to use the magic eraser on the area you want to make trasparent :D

Quicker way: just select the background and click the "Delete" button next to your enter key
