Sig question

[timmychen]

Treewyrm taught me this a while ago.

So here's a mini tutorial on how to do it.. assuming I understand your question correctly.

Have the picture ready, flatten the image (right click on any layer, then "Flatten Image"), then "Create Layer from Background". Name it Layer 0 or whatever you want.


Next, use the magic wand (oranged-out tool) and select and and delete everything you want to be transparent.


It should look like this:


Then go to Layer -> Layer Mask -> Reveal all, then click on the white box to the right (Under "Layers")


Now go over to Channels, and click on the one at the end "<layer name> Mask"


Use the paintbucket to color in the places you previously deleted (it won't show, but look at the box next to "Layer 0 Mask")


Save as -> .PNG


And viola! You have yourself a "lolwut" with a transparent background!
