I thought it was cool, I could have done it differently but I like this technique. I only wish there was more tutorials liek this

how about

Color Range =>select white

Delete?

This wouldn't really work in this case, because you're really trying to replace any white component of each pixel with and equivalent alpha component. Selecting by color range just selects the entire pixel whose total color value falls in certain range. Since you can't make the range be the complete grayscale gamut (or you'd delte everything), this would still give you slight halos, depending on what your fuzziness setting was. The trick here is using the grayscale image itself as the basis of a selection, since selections have alpha components. And then deleting that selection.

Sorry, I don't do photoshop effects or "cheese" as you call it.

um, besides, nobody is squabbling. 99.9% of us who chimed in were most likely "joking" as well.
