How to make background transparent

I have a jpeg that has a white background, i have tried and tried to make the background transparent but i have had no success using photoshop.

How to i remove all the white pixles and replace them with transparent ones? surely there must be some kind command for this.

 

Jpeg does not support transparency. Try Gif or PNG

 

delete the background. Save as png. then try it in any web. should be good.

 

- Open jpeg in Photoshop.
- Open/expand the Layers tab window.
- Duplicate the background layer using right mouse click on the background layer which is locked.
- Delete the original (locked) background layer. There's a small delete button on the bottom of the Layer tab window.
- Create a new layer. There's a small new layer button on the bottom of the Layer tab window.
- Drag the new layer (which is transparent) below the first layer.
- Click on the layer with your image (not the transparent one) in the Layer tab window to make it active.
- Select the Magic Wand tool in the tool window.
- Click on your image and you will see that it selected the contours of your object.
- Press delete key on your keyboard and the white background should be gone.
- Save as png24 or gif with transparency on.

Thanks R-Cube.. glad to help!

 

you can try decreasing Opacity from layers blending option. I use this for transparent.

 

yes, magic wand tool does it all.
but not always, you need to be careful, sometimes the whites are mixed up with the main content...... so better to mark complicated images with pen tool / marquee tool first and then use the wand.

just my 2 cents.

 

Jepg don't support the transparent,
If you need the image for website, it's better to use gif or png

Good Luck

 

Select a transparent background when you create a new document and save it as a png
