Im new to photoshop and want to know how to take an image (save on my PC, i got it off the web) and make the background of the image to be tansparent so i can edit the sace behind it.Giving images on photoshop a transparent background?
There are really good basic tutorials found on the Hewlett Packard website to do with photoshop. Its free to do, just sign up and download. They helped me a lot.

but basically you
Duplicate original photo, inmage, duplicate
Create new layer, close original
erase the background, select the Magic Eraser tool
Using the Magic Eraser tool, click background areas to delete the pixels. The checkerboard pattern indicates a transparent background. Notice in the Layers palette that the Background layer automatically converts to a new active layer.
Then whatever you want to do with background.
Thats one way, hope it makes sense
Magic eraser is in eraser tool, right click on little arrow
