hello, maybe this is too simple, i just don´t know how to do it, EX: i have a word(or an object) in a new file im working , the background is white (could be other colore..doesn´t matter) ,.. all i want is to set the background transparent (and not white) , ..possible? and saved to an image file (jpeg,gif) ? i want this cus im doing a site where the backgorun changes autom.. , so i only need the word/object to be seen without the background.. thanks..

If you want to save it with a transparent background it MUST be a gif not a jpg. Photoshop indicates this with a checkerboard background. Create a new image and make sure the "transparent background" button is selcted. Cut n paste your object into it and use the "Save for Web" facility under the file menu to generate the gif without destroying your original work. By the way when you are trying to select your object click on the coloured background with the magic wand selection tool and then invert the selection to select the object

thanks a lot!!!!
