After Mode> Grayscale, Mode >Bitmap, Halftone, etc, the process automatically adds a white background to the image. If the image weren't halftoned I could just use the Magic Wand tool and cut out the image, but the dots make this impossible. So, is there a way to create a halftone in Photoshop with it preserving the transparent background or an easy way to remove the white background once it's been added? I tried the Select > Color Range and it didn't work for me. I’m having a similar problem…I start with a psd file with a transparent background.

Once the white background is selected, just cut it to get a transparent background. (You may have to explicitly rename the layer something other than "Background" to unlock it.)

I was going mad trying to figure out how to make halftone brushes, but this is so much more simple and I'll probably ending using this more than the stinkin brush anyway! Thank you!
