Is there a way to do this on Photoshop Elements 7?

@SukiItari I'm not sure, I don't have Photoshop Elements 7. :/ I did have PS Elements 8 at some point, but I didn't see any Channels tab. Without the channels tab, I don't believe you can make clean transparent lineart, unless you use the magic wand tool (which can take chunks of your lineart away).

Thanks so much for the video! Seriously helped. I'm a PS noob and this was awesome for lineart. Worked perfectly!

That was really helpfull. Thank you very much for your work friend. I see that i have no other choice but to finally learn the channels cause i don't really know what happened and why when you started using them here:P Once again thank you.
