I know there are several ways to to this...what is the fastest, easiest way? I have a black sketch on white background (jpg.file) and want a transparent background so that I can place the black line drawing only onto another background. I want to save it this way to use on mulptiple designs.
Thanks!

Copy and paste to a new transparent document. Use your magic wand....click the selection you want erased then hit backspace. Or you can use your pen tool to make it more persice
Save as a gif, png, or psd file.

You could also go to Selections, Color range then delete the background. Or to make it cooler, delete the sketch and overlay the white background on top of your other background so the background design shows through as your sketch.

I swear I'm not following you around the forums Ducky316. Even though your in Wichita and I'm from Wichita. Big Grin
