If you would just like to make the background of a image transparent you can use a special function located in the “Help” menu. 1. Go to Help 2. Go to Export Transparent Image 3. Follow the steps (*hint* use the magic wand to select the area you want to make transparent) This will create a transparent gif for you. ALSO you can use the Extract feature to remove a background. 1. Go to FIlter 2. Choose Extract (or hit ctrl+alt+x) 3. First outline your item with the marker, then use the paint bucket to cover the area you DON’T want to extract. 4. When you’re done, hit OK If the background is complex (say, an outdoor landscape), then it might leave some stray pieces of the background. Just go in with your eraser tool to clean these up.
