If you have some anti-aliased text on a white background all in a PNG image, what is the easiest way to make the background transparent?

Thanks.

Use the magic wand tool to select the white area. Delete it. Re-save as PNG.

For some reason, it just fills it with the background color when I hit Delete?

I'm using Photoshop Elements 10.

Thanks.

Sorry - I should have said to unlock the background layer first.

Or you can try this:
Use the quick selection tool to select what you want to preserve on the 
transparent background. Hit control or command-J to put that selection 
on a new transparent layer. Unlock and delete the background layer. Save 
as PNG.

Does that work for you?
