How to get transparent backgrounds with photoshop

[Mugiey]

Hello People from VFKF, today Im gonna be teaching you how to simply remove a background from any images.

Photoshop CS3

1.Finding/Noticing First find a image you wanna remove the background from. I'm gonna get a picture simply like this

I want you to notice the Black background surrounding the letter "A"

Notice how its not the same with this letter "A"

Notice how the background has been Removed, compared to the other "A" which still has one.

Simply to remove the background with photoshop you just have to do a right click on the eraser symbol and click the Magic Eraser Symbol
