I got some Metal SLug sprites I wanna use, but there's this funky blue background in there.

I tried using the magic wand, but that didn't get rid of the blue that was close to the sprite (a tank).
I then tried using the "Trace Bitmap" thing that everyone says to use, but all that did was take forever and produce what looked like no results.
Can someone help me?

Tracing something with a pen DOES seem considerably painstakingly long.
Plus, I don't have Photoshop.

Also, was that "n00b" comment directed at moi?

This happened to me when I first made a dress-up game (yes their noobish I know) heres my solution...
1) Upload the images you want into the libary.
2) Right click on the images in the libary.
3) Click on edit with Microsoft Photo Editor (most people have this)
4) The programme usually has a transparent tool. Just search around for it
5) Use the transparent tool on the colour you want transparent.
6) Done! Tell me if there are any problems with this,

Thanks
