Modding Sprites: Getting the background to disappear

[Wauthan]

Or, if you have selected pure black as the default background color, you can just cut away the portions of the sprite you don't want. This means that you can do a "Select Color Range" and cut away all pixels with the same color. This helps a ton when editing sprites from games, and speeds things up quite a lot. Just remember that this method might accidently remove pixels you want.
