Hey guys, I'm trying to make a sig. This is my first one and I have never used Photoshop before.

So I'm looking at a guide, it says I need to paste my render in photoshop.

So I picked this one: http://www.zeldawiki.org/images/4/40/Darknut.png

As you see, it is a white background.

However, when I paste it into Photoshop, the white background turns black, and it makes it impossible to do anything further with the render.

How do I fix this?

Thanks :)

You Have To Cut It out Using The Magnetic Lasso Or Use Quick Select Wand Tool Then Reverse Until The Render Is Highlighted Then Copy Then Paste And It Should Be Transparent.

I assume you're going: Right Click -> Copy Image -> Paste into PS

Instead, right click and SAVE the file somewhere on your computer, then open it in photoshop as a document
It will no longer have ANY background
