I just started using photoshop today, and this is my first question in Graphic Design, so pardon me if this is a simple question. I have bee researching for about two hours now, on how to crop out the background of an image, and just have the image. I then want to use this image in my android app, which accepts png format.

So, I tried using the magic wand and I succesfully got rid of the background. At this point, it was just a picture ontop of a white canvas:



Now, I wanted to save only the blue balloon part as a png. I have looked all around the web for this answer, and one of the answers was to go to file->Scripts This is an issue because I don't have the scripts button in the file tab:



I am completely lost. I have been stuck on this for a few hours now, but i'm sure you professionals will know what to do in a few minutes.

Thanks so much,

Rich

It doesn't really look like you got rid of the white background, so first make sure that it truly is gone:


Use your magic wand to select the white area.
Then go to Select and Inverse
Copy and Paste into a new layer*.


Next, you need to save as a PNG or GIF with a transparent background:


Hide the layer with the image that has the white background. (Make sure there is a "checkerboard" around your balloon.)
Go to File and Save for Web.
Select either PNG or GIF.
Make sure that Transparency is checked (see image).
Click Save.




(*) NOTE: Try to refrain from deleting pixels- which is considered "destructive" editing. Always work with layers to "back-up" your work by making edits to duplicate layers instead of the original image. It will help you undo or add other styles, filters, etc.
