Sorry, Foggy - I got a bit carried away and started doing this and then couldn't stop! LOL!

The main reason you couldn't get the white off is that the file was a jpeg file and not a gif.

1 open pic

2 in tool bar select "magic wand" (if you do not see the wand look for "freehand slection" or "selection" and klik the arrow on it and you will find the "magic wand"

3 put wand over 1 of the white corners and klik once

4 with 1 corner selected hold down shift key and klik wand on 3 remaining corners.
