I was just wondering as to whether its possible to keep the checkered base which you get when you remove part of an image or have it transparent to stay in the created image.

I was asked to cut out the background from a logo to make it transparent so the logo would look nice on a variety of backgrounds. I've been given a good quality jpeg file.
What I did was I selected (by colour) the background (white), inverted the selection, copied it and pasted as a new image.
It's all fine (the logo itself doesn't have any other elements) but there's still some whiteish/greyish outline around certain elements of the logo.
If I were to do it manually, it'd probably take ages. What would be the best way to accomplish it?

Although the background is suposedly transparent, it makes my black graphics in Indesign a shade darker... Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I noticed this after I printed the Indesin document to PDF.... So I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong in Photoshop, Indesign or when printing to PDF.

I've got three layers that all seem to be set against a transparent background, which is what i want. Only, when i flatten them, the layers appear on a white background, not transparent.

How in the world can i keep the transparent background when i flatten?
I have a jpeg file and am trying to get a transparent background in photoshop. I have been using the wizard in the help menu. This asks you to select the area which you want to make transparent and then saves it for you in an eps format.

I then go to Corel Draw and go to the import file and put it into my worksheet and it comes up as a grey square saying photoshop blah blah blah - or something probably a bit more technical but I'm on a different computer now so i'm not exactly sure what it says!
I know Corel isn't everyone's best friend here, but does anyone know what I'm doing wrong.
