This may be a really silly question but I had to uninstall my old graphic editor after upgrading to Windows 7 (guess Paint Shop Pro 9 is not supported by Windows 7 which I find odd cause I used it when I had Vista just fine, yeah it was really laggy but it worked). Now I'm using Photoshop CS5, problem is I haven't touched photoshop a day in my life until recently so I don't know how to do much stuff on it.
Now I'm thinking of creating a site for petz, however I ran into one problem, how do you make pics transparent in Photoshop? (aka: remove the white background so the background on the layout of my new site will show though).

^ That is pretty weird that you couldn't get PSP 9 to work with Windows 7. At the moment, I have PSP 9 on my desktop which has Windows 7, and I have virtually no issues. The only minor problem I had was my colour scheme (custom) did not like my PSP9 program, so everytime I opened PSP9, it reset my colour scheme to the original temporarily while I used the program, and returned it to my custom settings after I closed it.
Sorry ia m unable to help you in the Photoshop area - I still use PSP 9 of course. Perhaps troubleshooting PSP9 with Windows 7.

To start with a transparent image in photoshop, when you click 'New file' it should say somewhere around the lines of Background: and than after the : will have a drop down menu. You select transparent.
To make an image with a background transparent, I personally copy the image, paste it into a new file that has a transparent background, and use the magic wand tool to get rid of the background I don't want.
[Did that make sense? :/ ]

Ela - I thought that was weird, then again I got to thinking for some reason when I upgraded to 7 I had to reinstall several programs, PSP9 included but no matter what I tried I couldn't get it to load, so I figured it just didn't work on Windows 7. Now that I know it should I'll try again (troubleshoot it).
Mkay. - Yes that made sense, right now I'm trying to get PSP9 to work (since I'm more fimilar with it), I may give that a try though, I do like Photoshop (or what little I know how to do in it lol).
Thanks for the help.

All I do is select the magic wand tool, click the white background of the image, and press the 'delete' key to delete it. Just make sure the image is not a background image (if it is, right click on the layer in the 'layers' section and click 'duplicate layer'. Then just do what I said to do before. xP
At least, that's the way my Photoshop works -- Photoshop Elements 5.0~
