If the image is high enough quality i would

1. Convert image mode to Grayscale

2. Convert image mode to Bitmap - select 50% threshold & output @ 72dpi/300dpi (whatever the original image DPI is)

3. Convert image back to grayscale mode

4. Convert image back to RGB mode

5. Go to Select > Select Colour Range > Use eyedropper tool and click on a white area

6. Hit backspace and delete

Converting the image to bitmap w/ 50% threshold means you're left with nothing but white and black pixels, so when you select the white area you get everything.

Using a blend mode is ok until you want to put something underneath it.
