Transparency - GIMP help

[Demoli]

Can someone tell me a name of a image editing program that can make the background of the image transparent?

 

If possible, give me a link also.

 

Thanks for the attention.

Photoshop can do it. I think GIMP, but I'm not sure.

I use paint.net

 

 

 

Free and easy to use imo :)

With GIMP:

 

 

 

1: On the right side of the screen, click on the Layers tab. Right-click the layer, and select "Add alpha channel"

 

2: If the background that you want transparent is a solid color, click on the select by color tool (it should look like 3 squares of color and a hand). Find the tool options, which are usually a tab below the tools. Set the tolerance to 0, and click on the color you want. Then, press delete and save the picture.

 

3: If the part of the picture you want transparent isn't a solid color, you'll have to select it and delete it by hand or use the eraser.

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry if this is a bit confusing, but I find it the easiest.
