How do you delete a background if it has many colors. I know you do
the select thing and add alpha to channel but, is there any other
option in which the background disappears completely without any sweat
if it has different colors in the background?
Thanks

It does work, if you remove the %20's from the address. It's quite a resource. And I'm always on the lookout for a good resource...
