I have dragged an image from a website into Photoshop 7.0 in a transparent layer, but the image still has a white background.

How can I make the background of a dragged image transparent? I have tried to select it, then delete the white area. It worked but I don't want to do it manually.

What programming language do you use and what code have you tried already? – WTP Jul 19 '11 at 12:36
@Mary this is the wrong place to ask a question about Photoshop. Try photo.stackexchange.com – Tom Styles Jul 19 '11 at 12:39

Use the Magic Wand tool, set it to about 32, click in the white area and press delete.

You may need to change the layer so that it isn't a background layer (it will be labeled "Background".) To change it just double click the layer and accept the default name.

Select the layer with magic wand tool (press shift for multi selection) then inverse select and cut the rest of image to make background transparent...
