I have a flame image. And in between all the flames was black. I made them all white to help me out a bit but now i don't know how to delete ALL the white.

Is there anyway except from going around all the flames with a lasso?

you could use quick mask mode to help expediate the lassoing process, or you could use the plygon lasso tool, its easire to use than regular lasso

I agree. The magic wand works well, too - just play with the tolerance. Or try Select Menu/Color Range.

There's also the Magic Eraser, and the Background eraser.
