EMERGENCY PHOTOSHOP HELP
 

I have an image I need to use for our MA shirts but I need to remove the background. Said background is one solid color and that color appears nowhere else in the artwork. It should be an easy thing to do, but I can't seem to figure it out. HELP!

If I made the blue background transparent, live would be perfect. But, I don't know how.

open your image
<select all>
<edit>
<copy>

<new> (It should default to an image size that matches what you copied)
Select transparent background
<paste>
Now erase the stuff you don't want. If it's a solid color you can make it easier by selecting it with the magic wand before using the eraser.

Get a really talented Photoshop guru to fix it for you

(Thank you Doug - my coworker)

*wrong thread* I'll read this one in a second... damned tabbed reading!!

Be wary of the Magic Wand. Sometimes, there are threads of that color running throughout random mixed up places. I tend to go about it the old fashioned way, which tends to not take too long if it's gone about in a logical way. Erase big chunks, then get down to the details.

But that's just me.

There's probably something easier out there.

Send me the file, and I'll do it for you right now. :)

Kevy came thru with the help of GuruDoug. Thank you Doug!

And it looks great! :evil:

Fooey! I wanna see (in my most whiny voice)

Every short cut has its problems... even the magnet wand in CS3 has its problems. I tend to use polygon lasso and go around myself, then again I'm using CS3 at school, and CS2 educational edition at home.

Hey Lisa, do you know where your magic wand is?

sitting on my hands....lalalalalalalala....not gonna do it...lalalalalalalalala

Now, imagine Kevin asking "Lisa, do you know where your magic wand is".

I couldn't resist.

Why, it is in the toolbar, usually located on the left side of the screen (unless you have moved it from the default location).

I don't know why everyone is making a fuss about it.
