controlthebleeding Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 take the image, open it up, copy it, open a new file, keep the background transparent and add it as a new layer, delete what you want, then save it as a .png file. if you want just PM me and i'll do it for you in a sec.

As I remember it, my way was a bit ridiculous compared to this. I also can't remember my way. So i'll leave this to you. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
controlthebleeding Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 it's actually quite easy... i rarely ever make png's though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will work if the image itself is transparent. Otherwise you have to isolate from the original background (even if white) to get a transparency. Via Channels is the most accurate method, but depending on the image you can try the magic wand. Or the pen tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
