: How to make Background of Image Invisible? SO I need it to be simple way of telling of another way of make the background of the image clear, because I use the magic want tool (fuzzy select

@Heady304

You just need to Double click on the background layer and it turns to normal layer
then you can clear it

the background layer on it self could not be transparent. but you can delete the background or change it type to normal layer by double click on it.

good luck

I suspect the problem is that photoshop is assuming the document base is white and not transparent, to solve this:


Create a new document and make sure that the background for the image is 'Transparent' instead of white
Copy and paste the image into that document on a new layer
Repeat the magic wand tool selection as you did before and remove the areas you don't want.
When saving, make sure you save the file in a format that supports transparency for example GIF, PNG


That should sort your problem

Duplicate the layer so its not a locked background layer. Then delete the original locked background layer. Then do the same thing you did previously and it'll be transparent (shown as a grey grid).
