How to: *:･ﾟ✧ "Transparent Backgrounds!!"*:･ﾟ✧
First off I'm using Photoshop so I don't know if this will comply with other programs. Just fyi.
Step 1: Take whatever image you want transparent and open it in photoshop.
Step 2: Duplicate the "background" and delete it. Leaving only "background copy".
Step 3: Select your "Magic Wand Tool"
and click on your image. There should now be a whole bunch of black lines moving around the edges of your picture. Like this
Step 4: Next right click and select "Refine Edge" Set "smooth" to about fifty (you can mess around with the setting if you want) and hit "ok"
Step 5: Now press "backspace", right click again and select "deselect", resulting in this
Step 6: Make sure the background is checkered and you have things the way you want them, then go to "file" "save as" "png."
And you're done!
You should end up with this
There's probably a much better way to do this, but ah well. Hope it helped. （‐＾▽＾‐）
