Hope I am not confusing anyone any further with this post. You can also save as a tiff file for transparency. jpegĪs mentioned earlier, jpeg files do not support transparency, so as wchettel has responded, you may use the png format to save the file with transparency. My only question now is should I save image as a. Yes, the backspace and delete keys work the same in this case. I have assumed by delete you mean clicking on the layer in the layers panel and hitting backspace? However, because the white pixels were replaced by another checkerboard in my screenshot, it gave the appearance that the entire background had been replaced by transparency in the Editor. So, although it looks like my original reply worked by clicking on the remaining white background pixels, in fact the checkerboard was only partially selected and deleted. It does contain a checkerboard, not transparent pixels. Michel is correct about the problem with the original image grabbed from the webpage.Therefore, it is necessary to increase the tolerance of the Magic Wand tool to make sure that the pure white and near white pixels are selected. However, in the original image, the background is not pure white, particularly near the edges of the green and black object. In this case, it would only select all pure white pixels if you clicked on the background color. Tolerance level of the Magic Wand tool: If you set the tolerance level of the Magic Wand tool to zero, it will only select the exact color of the pixel you click on.Now press the delete key and remove the layer you use to draw the outline, then crop the image to the part you have cut-out. Now hold down Ctrl + I to invert the selection, and then select the background layer. Presumably, his background color was the default color of white. Now select the magic wand tool (any tolerance below 60 should work fine) and click inside the outline. I assume this is what happened to wchettel when he said that after trying my method, nothing changed. If you select and delete pixels from a background layer, the deleted pixels will be replaced with the color of the background color swatch.sorry for not including this step in my reply, Walter.) So, it was not necessary for me to convert the layer. (When I copied startingtopuff's original image from the forum webpage and used the File>New>Image from Clipboard command in the Editor to edit it, only a regular image layer was created.As Phinny said, you can double-click on a background layer to convert it. Therefore, it is necessary to convert it to an ordinary layer. A background layer cannot have transparent pixels.

after opening the original file in the PSE Editor, it probably has a single background layer.Presumably, the original image file is in a format that does not support transparency, e.g. startingtopuff has an image/logo/object on a white background and wants to remove the background so the image/logo/object appears on a transparent background.Just to summarize this thread for future viewers, to clarify some confusion that I introduced, and to answer some remaining questions, here are the main points:
