I can't remove my backround!

Ok so whenever I try to make an avatar I get what my avatar looks like now..an annoying white backround. Here is what my finished product looks like, and I still have the problem. Any help please?!!?

 

make your background the background of sythe

 

I have the same problem, how do you make it the same color of sythe?

I pasted the background of sythe in paint and put it behind my sphere, and it looks kinda rough.

Is there a better way?

 

Same here

 

Anyone? :/

 

Are you merging all layers when compiling etc?
Tried .PNG extension?
Mine works fine. I fixed I Could Go Pro's avatar just then..

 

make sure you have the right layer selected :S

 

When saving the image, the only way to retain the transparency of the background is to save it as a .PNG file - do not save it as a .jpeg, as this is the reason you are getting the unwanted background colour.

 

Thanks!
