You rock! I'm still a Photoshop rookie and this has always been one of my biggest areas of contention. Definitely saving this to memories for when I've got more time to play with it. Thanks a million!

nalazhar on July 10th, 2008 10:04 pm (UTC)

I'm not sure how to do it in other version .. but in CS3 Click Shift+Alt+Ctrl+S ..
and choose a png format and be sure to check the transparency background ..

hmm, this is really really neat. I used to go with the magic wand thingie every time, but it didn't always work properly for me. I'll definitely try it your way soon *g* Thanks for sharing!
