Problem with pictures.

Hello again everyone. I come to you today with another question/ problem. When you import a picture, you normally have to Right-click the background that you don't want right? Well I did so and instead of the whole back ground being wiped out there is like a layer of white ( Background color) around my picture. How should I go about dealing with this.
If a screen shot is needed, then by all means say so.

You have to left-click the background you don't want. You have to right-click things you want to be semi-transparent, so things like shadows.

Ah, my mistake. I do left-click. Typing error...so, any ideas? I can wait.

I would think maybe the background isn't all the same shade of white?

You can make it transparent manually too though if you have a photoimaging program like photoshopping. Paint.NET would also be able to do this, and it's a free download.

Oh yea? Well thank you Modern Algebra. I'll do so right away.
