    I wanna know...

    ...how to make the white in a picture transparent. I have a picture that has a white background and I want it to be transparent instead. So it could fit in another picture well.

    I have both GIMP and Adobe Photoshop 7.0

      Get the magic wand tool and select the background.
      Press delete.

      Once you're finished, save as a .gif.

      Yes, I am going to need some more information. What is your social security, work hours, sperm count, sexual orientation, and hours of absence from your home?

          Basically what sarah said.

          I prefer .png or at least .jpeg if you'd like a more color-detailed avatar though. '.gif' will minimize the picture to a 256-color limitation, making it look course and unattractive. But if you still want to use .gif, dither it so it'll look much nicer.

                  How to make the white only in the background transperant, and not the actual object displayed.
                  Removed a .gif image so your total signature size isn't well over 1MB. Keep this in mind for the future.

                      if you're running OSX then go to preview and instant alpha that **** where you don't want the background. Then hit enter twice and poof its gone.

                      If you aren't running on a mac, then....f**k I don't know

                              Use the magic wand tool, it should select an area for deletion.
                              If the wand happens to go into the picture, just get the eraser and do it manually.
                              Then proceed with the magic wand tool.

                              Exactly.

                                  It's the same process EA. Using Photoshop, you will use the Magic Wand tool.

                                  What I do is duplicate the layer if the background layer is locked. Then I delete the locked background layer and work with the duplicated one. After using the Magic Wand tool, make sure you have "Contiguous" clicked. ;]

                                  EDIT: About the jpeg: Whoops. I forgot about that.

                                      When you go to make your new document, simply change the background content to transparent, this will make it have no background, then save it as a .png and your done.



                                      sorry for not cropping, to lazy, and i made this a while ago
