Default .gif image, how do you?

Well, I decided to throw a picture of my "new" car into my avatar. Oooh, ahh.

Anyway, it is a lovely little jpg, but I want it to be a gif with a transparent background (no black background.) How do I do that?

its easy since your background contrast with the car really well.

-copy document and paste onto a new document that has a transparent background

-take the magic wand on 32 tolorance and select the background

-delete background

-its very choppy, so youre gonna have to clean the edges up.


looks weird though.
