Re: [Tuxpaint-devel] Making a starter in Photoshop 10

[Gabriel G. <gab...@gm...>]

1- You have to go to the "Layers" tab and double click the Backgroung layer, 
then just hit OK in the dialog. (That makes the Backgroung layer a normal 
layer, i.e.: one than can be semi transparent).
2- Then you select the white background using perhaps the Magic Wand tool (W) 
(take care of the state of the "Contiguous" option in the tool options bar 
above).
3- Once you have selected all that you want, just erase it.
4- After that I'm not sure what you have to do, just because I don't know what 
type of image you need to end with. But if you need to build an alpha channel 
for it you can do so easily by Ctrl+clicking the (former) Backgroung layer 
and the using "Save Selection as Channel" from the Selection menu or the 
Channels tab (behind the Layers tab).

Hope this helps, if you still have doubts just let me know.

greetings,
Gabriel

p.s. Perhaps some options' names are not exactly as I wrote them, as I don't 
have Photoshop here right now.
