Photoshop Help Please...

Im just creating an image and I was wondering how I can make the white areas around the images below transparent. Im wanting to use it as a sig in a forum and the background colour of the page is black, with the little white corners which are not part of the image it will look rubbish.

I have Adobe Photoshop CS2.

just using that Jpeg its a little hard, i'd have to use the Background Eraser tool and do it by hand.

If you have the original PSD file, you shoudl be able to make the background of the layer transparent (in layer properties I believe)

 

i have uploaded the image PSD file to here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/6ahuxt

are you able to help me? thanks so much.

thanks again

 

oh i see now, thanks a lot for the help on that it looks perfect for what i want.

Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!! Thanks for the links!!! I had trouble before (somebody asked me to "fix" an old photograph) and as a new to photoshop I did not know how to do a few things like the background and as a practice, I will do that again...

 

As I said before, Thanks, for sure I will try this again!!!!
