A new document will always have a backround. Create a new layer and you can delete the background.

I created a new document and selected a transparent background but the layer is white.
"A new document will always have a backround. Create a new layer and you can delete the background."
I have tried that but still I dont see the transparent background, i'm still left with a white background, so simple probably but I can't seem to get it.

arc fixer Mar 6, 2012 1:46 PM (in response to gotroots2)Back where we started. Crtl+A will select all, then hit delete. The layer will be transparent. Or create a new layer and delete the white one.

Noel Carboni Mar 6, 2012 1:47 PM (in response to gotroots2)What do you have set in the Edit - Preferences - Transparency dialog for the Grid Colors?
I ask, because you can instruct Photoshop not to put up the checkerboard pattern that's displayed by default.
