i want the instructions to be very clear and when i am done figuring out it i hope it is clean cut

i am looking for 3 diffeent ways to do it thanks

gimp.
First you take your picture.
then, you click the magic wand button and cut out your surface (surface has to be gray to make it the easiest) then go to edit and click delete then your done (it will have a checkered background

I know how to do it, but, its the same as Zoey. I'll be willing to make it as clear as I can

Program: Gimp 2.6
First, you take your picture. [Bearroom is easiest;be sure to zoom in;button on the top right; and click "Zoom".
Second, open up Gimp 2.6. Click Layer>Transparency. Now, theres so many tools on the left, right? Well, go ahead and click on the magic wand. [Fuzzy Select Tool] now, you click on the background and it should show you an outline of everything. Go ahead and click "delete" on your keyboard and your background should look like a grey and white checkered bg. Now you click file and save as. Now, your done. Your picture is transparent!
Thankies

Lool i'm not really gonna say the instructions since i have no idea how to but looking at you tube tutorials for different programs help and the majority of those are clear

Gosh i know how. Its really complicated sort of.......You get to the part where you do transparent it and it gets super confusing.....but if you need help feel free to ask me! I did try to post some, and then the transparent thing was jsut way to confusing...so I didn't even try.
