Today cell phones are indeed an all-in-one novelty from the world of electronics. You don’t need laptop computers if you have these new cell phones. Apart from the free ringtones, you can now enjoy the luxury of digital cameras in your cell phone as well.

Thanks so much Dan for the tip…will come in very handy!
Is there a way to get the pure white background with a color image which has a less than perfect white background?
Dan, This is great! I have a problem though, I must have an old version of Photoshop (Photoshop Elements 3.0) and therefore don’t have “adjustment” or “curves” in under my image menu. Can you tell me which Photoshop version you used for this tutorial? I’m assuming I’ll need to upgrade to get this feature…
so quick and easy! curious to know of the easiest way to make that white background a transparent background to save as a .png file - other than the obvious, extraction tools. thanks!
