What other color do you want to be transparent? What are you trying to accomplish with this photo? Need a little more ifnormation.

.......thanks for your reply.
I didn't mean this picture in particular.
This is just an example.
What I want to know is how can I select more than one color from the "Color Table" to be transparent because I'm able to select only one.
If I select another color than the 1st one then the 1st selection is invalid.
In case that it is possible to select more than one color please let me know how to do it.
Thanks again.......

Hi Jubcheng
What tool or method are you using to select with? If using the Magic Wand tool, in the option bar at the top of the workspace, click the "add to selection" mode (the 2nd little button from the left), or hold down the Shift key while clicking to sample additional colors in the image to select them.

Hi Diana.
Thanks for your reply.
As you can see in the screenshot:
http://img378.imageshack.us/img378/1818/screenshotis8.th.jpg (http://img378.imageshack.us/img378/1818/screenshotis8.jpg)
I'm choosing [Image > Mode > Indexed Colors] and then again [Image > Mode > Color Table].
Then I'm selecting the "Eyedropper Tool" down left in the "Color Table" and with this eyedropper you can select either a color from the "Color Table" or select a color directly inside the image and it will be transparent but only one selection is possible.
If I try to select another color or another part of an image the 1st selection is invalid.
What I want to do is to select more than one color or more than only one part of an image.
Is this possible?
Thanks again,
