Hi, I'm trying to semi-remove the background color from an image in Photoshop. I drew a landscape in an external application (namely Colors! 3D for the Nintendo 3DS) and the only way I can export it is as a .JPG, so no transparency for me. I copied it once for each layer and painted solid black right under it. I'm now trying to remove the black background from each layer so I can rejoin all five layers into one .PSD.
It's sort of hard to explain, but I'm trying to "extract" the black from the image, so solid black will be completely removed, and anything semi-black will become translucent. I have Photoshop CS3 (I can't update to a later version) on my school Mac, but I also have a Windows PC at home with Paint.NET and Gimp. I've tried using the Background Removal eraser, but it doesn't work very well for what I'm doing, and I can't find a Magic Wand setting that works for me, either.
One of the images in question is included, and any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
