Greetings.
I have a series of files that I captured from websites and saved in png format. Chess pieces actually. They are relatively simple shapes that are either white with a black background or black with a white background.
I wish to make the backgrounds transparent, I suppose by setting an alpha component to zero. This would enable me to drag the pieces around on the screen in my computer chess program I am writing, without obscuring what lies underneath the background of each piece.
Can I do this with photoshop elements 5.0? I don’t need a specific how to, though it would be nice. If someone could just point me in the right direction, I would be most grateful.
Thanks.
