cut round outside to transparent

| Hi
a instrument on a plane should be nicely cut around to the transparent
background. It's about an eclipse, nearly a circle. So how can I do
that?
Many thanks
Michael

Please describe, in detail, what you intend to accomplish. The best way
to do this is different if you plan to use the image on the Web than it
is if you plan to use the image for print.
Generally, the safest thing to do is work in layers. Make your
background into a layer, use the elliptical marquee to select the image,
then save the selection as a layer mask. Tada! Done.

| KatWoman's method works fine if you want the cleared area to be the selected
background colour.
If you want it transparent I duplicate the background and apply KatWoman's
method to this layer and then delete the original background layer. This
will remove any colour from the cleared area.
