During my design on Photoshop I have filled a layer with black and used a white brush on it. But I want my background to be transparent. How can I decolorize my layer's background without losing its content?

Open the Channels palette and click the dotted circle at the bottom ("Load channel as selection").

Then from the "Layer" menu, choose New Fill Layer > Solid Color... and pick a foreground colour. A new layer is created and the selection added to it as a mask.

Turn off all other layers to reveal a transparent background.

If you find that you would like to reverse the transparent areas with the inked areas, select the layer mask in the layers palette and click Image menu, Adjustments > Invert.
