I'm really a graphics program newbie. All I need to do is make the backgound of a picture that I scanned in, transparent. I've run through a couple tutorials that say I need the GIF9A export thing or something but the only thing that comes up when I click File, Export...is Paths to Illustrator. I didn't think this would be such a pain. I figured you could somehow just select a color and say "This is my transparent color." I guess it's a bit more complicated than that. Anyway, if anyone can help me out with this I'd really appreciate it. Thanks
