You may have to resort to using the extract tool and erase tool, getting in between the balloon strings should be interesting.

What I would do is duplicate the layer
Use the magic wand set at a low tolerance to selcect a white area.
Tap A (select all)
shift-crtl I to invert the selection then
Delete key
Turn off or delete the background layer

Hi,
Thanks for the help, but for some reason i still can't seem to manage it. Maybe it's just me doing something wrong!!!
I followed your instructions but when i come to delete the background layer, it does'nt seem to work.
Any more ideas?
Thanks again for the help

Sorry I made a blunder *oops*
Instead of hitting control a, this should be
Alt S R (or SELECT> ALL)
Try double clicking on the background layer. Its name will change to layer0. You should now be able to delete it.

Open Photoshop.
Click on File Open, then find the Balloon Picture, then double click on the image to bring it to your pallet in Photoshop.
Photoshop will display it as a Background, put your mouse over the image that says Background and Right Click, you will see an option to Duplicate The Layer.
Duplicate the layer.
You will now see the original Background and a Background Copy.
By Default the Background Copy should be highlighted like this:
Now click on the Magic Wand tool that you see in this image:
Use the settings you see in my image.
With the balloon background copy highlighted (selected by default), use your magic tool and click on any of the white area.
You will see a bunch of streaming looking lines that have surrounded the image.
Now hit Ctrl-I, this will invert the selection, it may turn black or white depending on what your foreground/brackground are set on, but its not important to complete the process.
Once you have done that simply hit the Delete Key, the image may appear as it did, however you’ll notice that the Background Copy has a transparent background. If you’re image is still selected with the streaming looking lines, go to the top tool bar and click Select, then in the pull down menu click Deselect.
Now, delete the original Background and you should be left with your transparent background.
