I am not an expert photoshop user but have been trying to use more of it in what I currently do.
I have a black and white image fromwhich I am trying to remove all the white.
PhotoScape is a fun and easy photo editing software that enables you to fix and enhance photos. Key Features. Viewer: View photos in your folder, create a slideshow Editor: resizing, brightness and color adjustment, white balance, backlight correction, frames, balloons, mosaic mode, adding text, drawing pictures, cropping, filters, red eye removal, blooming, paint brush, clone stamp, effect brush.
I cannot use the magic wand/deletebecause the white is in literally hundreds of places and in some cases very tiny.
Is there a method to strip the white off, leaving just the black?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Indeed you should perform right selection.
Select->Color Range
and click on the spot colored with color you want to select - you will see the change on the preview screen. Also, you can choose the color from sampled colors drop down menu
Fuzziness should be set to 0.
If you press SHIFT while selecting (you can also click Shift and drag of the image) it will select all the spots with the same color....
After selection was made you can perform on it any action you want...

The easiest way you can do this is by unchecking the contiguous (marked yellow in screenshot) location when selecting the white colour with magic wand. This will select only those areas which you want. To get exact colour or colour range you can set the Tolerance as per your image.
Here is an screenshot with my imaginary image.

Go to eraser tool, long press, and click magic eraser tool. and then click on the region that you want to erase
and below is the final touch i have made to my picture. I erase all the white region of the picture and then I just save as png.

Last item on coloumn to the right.
Also. Method 2 will involve blending and experimenting. if you are looking to increase the complexity of your images - this is a great starting points for viariants

If you just want transparency where the white is, you don't need Photoshop. This is a very simple thing to do in PowerPoint...1. Paste the image into PowerPoint2. Select the image3. Hit the Format tab4. Click Color5. Click Set Transparent Color6. Click on one of the white areas you want to remove.7. Right click the image and Save as Picture.
Of course, this will only remove one color, so if there are shades of grey in your white, this is NOT a solution.

The quickest option I would use if you are only removing white background, is on the layers panel, create a new layer under your image with the desired background colour / photo etc. then on the layer you are trying to remove the white from, select the option 'multiply' from the dropdown next to the opacity %.
similarly 'screen' will do the same thing for Black in the image.

This video might help you!
Steps shown in video:
- Create a new layer,
- Create clipping mask over the layer on which color is to be removed
- Switch blending mode of new layer to color (3rd last)
- Paint with care (Resampling again and again for color tones)
- Done!
