Background to layer in Photoshop!
This is a pro tip about Photoshop CS3. If you want to add transparency to a photo in Photoshop, you need to get rid of the background and transform it into a layer. You can quickly do so by holding down "Option" and double-clicking on the "Background" title.

This also works for Photoshop 7 on OS X.
Another tip: if you want to add a layer, normally you click the 'add a new layer' button, but if you Cmd+click this button, it'll add a new layer BENEATH the current layer instead of above it.
This is how Photoshop has always done that. As a designer I honestly cringe at tips like this..
Maybe some people out there are novices who also use photoshop for fun. I'm a graphic designer and I'd never claim to know everything that Photoshop has to offer. Get off your high horse and just accept that some people - like the host of this blog - like to impart information.
And to think that all these years I've been duplicating the background layer, and then deleting the original background layer.
