Assuming it is in the CMYK or RGB image mode, it is the background layer. You have to drag the background layer into the trash.

Let me know if it works.

Me, too. I’ve never seen a JPEG with layers.

The first question is how you got JPEG to support transparency in the first place?

jpgs don’t support transparency.

If it’s a photograph and you want to keep the high detail (ie, not gif looking) save it as a png. Png supports transparency (and compresses) like a gif but supports thousands of colors like a jpeg.

Thanks for all the answers. I ended up using the wand tool to highlight the "white" backround and remove them with the backround eraser tool. Then I saved them in .png – it doesn’t matter that the files are much larger than the .jpgs – I’m gonna use them in a bigger collection anyway (which I’m saving in .jpg)

Hope you got it 😉

ups – forgot – I actually saved them in .psd – but only because I’m not posting the single picture.

That is not correct!
You can include a clipping path in a JPG which is recognized by various programs (including InDesign).

Cheerio!

Yes, it is.

You can include a clipping path

IOW, a knockout, not transparency or translucency.

in a JPG which is recognized by various

I’m sure. However, it’s a serious mistake to use JPEGs for publishing.
