Transparent texture colour

Hi all,
I have a texture of a tree on a white(255,255,255) background. How do I specify white to be transparent ?

Regards

generaly speaking by making another map with the background in black and the tree in white, and putting this in the transparancy map slot, while your original map is in the colormap slot....

I guess... but maybe I'm thinking too simple...

if you are speeking of photoshop you can select the eraser tool and specify it to erase only color white then you will have tree with transparent background.

ciao
