Remove White background From Existing Image (make transparent)

[General_T]

Hi,

I made this image but I forgot to make the background transparent - so only the lines are visible. So now I need to copy just the outline (and then add the lines afterward) to a new transparent layer so the background will show through between the lines in the image.

Is there a quick and easy way to do this or am I forced to redraw the outline on a new transparent layer using the pen tool?

Do a levels adjustment to define the black and white more then you can either go to select > colur range and then select the white and press delete as long as you have a transparant layer underneath should do the trick or just using something like the magic eraser
