Transparency in a .png image

I have an image with a black background and red and yellow text.

I need to make the background transparent so I can upload it to a T-shirt printer.

Maybe I'm having a blonde moment but I can't find anyway to do it. Not in the menues and not on the net.

Can someone help me?

I think the correct way is using Layer -> Transparency -> Colour to Alpha or
Select -> By Colour and then Layer -> Transparency -> Alpha to Selection

Use the color to alpha plug-in and ask him to make the black background transparent. It'll only be difficult if you have other black regions in your picture that you don't want to make transparent. In that case, play with selections.

Cordially, Ismael
