I'm really off topic but I was wondering...

anyone here use paintshop pro 7 or less? I really want to know how to put transparency onto an image! For example like the Halo avatar up there, how would you go about making the white background into a transparent background without cropping out the image onto a new, transparent layer.

Sorry if that sounded like jibberish.

I would probably duplicate the layer, and delete the original (so that I'm not working with a locked layer) and then use the magic wand tool (on the white area) and hit delete. Not sure that that is the best way, as its probably possible by changing white for the transparent colour in the pallete... but that would probably make everything that is white transparent, which I wouldn't want.
