Stupid photoshop question

[NL5]

OK, I have a really stupid photoshop question. I have a couple GIF's that are logos. The logos are black with a white background. How do you make the white background tranparent?

I have been trying to figure this out for WAY too long.

Thanks,

NL5

Open the image, use the magic wand tool to select all the white, press delete... save for web, select GIF... make sure the transparency box is checked.

I think there is a section in the manual that tells how to do that.

try working in a new document.. (shortcut keys below if needed)

1) open gif in photoshop
2) press ctrl + a
3) press ctrl + c
4) press ctrl + n
5) hit ok
6) press ctrl + v
7) do what Ness originally posted.

I've found working on a gif image it doesn't work the way I want it to.

Convert the image to RGB mode then use the magic eraser tool.

Go in to your preferences and make the default BG transparent... or something to that effect.

or do what was said about using wand, but make sure the mode is RGB AND the background layer is unlocked
