I understand what you mean. All you need to do is open up the image. Then, duplicate the background layer then delete the original background layer. It may seem stupid, but there is a reason. The background layer CAN NOT have any transparencies in it so if you delete pixels within the background layer they just turn white or whatever your second color is. All you need to do now is take the magic wand tool, select the purple color, and press delete. You should see the yellow background and a checkered pattern where the text was. This checkered pattern is photoshop's way of saying "Transparent"

NOTE: If you don't save the image in a file type that supports transparencies then this work will be lost. The standard photoshop file type is recommended, but I also use .png.
