Can't seem to isolate my image and make the background transparent?

That's what my photoshop page looks like at the moment. I want to do all the white space transparent. I tried to click on the magic wand on the white space and then tool by clicking on the tool Magic Eraser the space selected but nothing happens. I also tried clicking on remove selected space and nothing does. How can I get the transparent white part? Thank you!!

Eliminating the white box can be done with precision using the mixture control if the Style layer.

1. open the file and if the layer is locked, trash the lock.

2 Cmd + click on the new icon layer in the layers panel to apply a layer below the image.

3. return to the upper layer and double-click it in the layers panel to bring up the layer Style.

4. in the section mixture if at the bottom of layer Style, move the slider of the gray-scale top of page from right to left until the white area becomes transparent. It is a very small movement.

5 layer > merge down and save the psd file.

  • How to change the color of a scanned document writing and make the background transparent

    I'm a newbie using Photoshop elements 11 and tempting - without success so far - to edit a document, I have scanned so I can upload it to a custom fabric printing service. I already scanned a handwritten recipe in color .tif format (which seems black and white, because the original is written black on white background). I also resized the image of 14 "x 23". I need help is:

    1. I want to change the color from black to red writing (specifically in the hexadecimal code cd0303).

    "2. I also want to add a border of 2" wide solid color in the same red around the 14"x 23" the recipe image (so the final image will be 18 "x 27".

    3. I want to make the background transparent instead of white recipe and to make sure that the background remains transparent when I download the final image to .png format printing service so that only the red writing and the border will be printed on the fabric.

    I would appreciate directions to do these things. For reasons I don't understand, when I created a file empty and set the color of the background transparent, then tried to make the changes I want, somewhere along the way the background changes to black.

    Thank you very much!

    Try this:

    1. Open your scanned document and do not forget that there is good contrast. The native scan may need help.
    2. Duplicate the background layer, then turn off the visibility of the background layer by clicking on the "eye" icon. Work on the background copy layer
    3. Download the magic wand out of the toolbox tool, tolerance set at 32 (may have to experiment with this value), uncheck the "contiguous"... Left-click on a substantive area white. Press DELETE on the keyboard. Press CTRL + D to get rid of the dotted moving line.
    4. Set your foreground on cd0303 color chip
    5. CTRL + left click on the thumbnail of the layer with the writing, then edit > fill selection > foreground color
    6. Press CTRL + D
    7. Go to Select >, then change stroke (outline) selection. Race position inside, fixed width of race based on
    8. Remove the background layer, and then save to the file format which preserves transparency.
  • Import EPS and make the background transparent

    Hi all

    Basically, I'm a n00b with Illustrator.  I have a logo EPS (downloaded from here: http://www.allfreelogo.com/logo/federal-bureau-of-investigation-fbi-logo.html) and perfectly, it is important to Illustrator.

    However, after I resize, when I do the "Save for Web and Devices", it keeps creating my GIF file with a blank despite I asked transparent background.  Is there a way to do that is transparent?

    I'm sure it's a small thing I'm missing because I do not know Illustrator.  Thanks for any help.

    Perhaps there is a white object in the background. What you could do, it of take the eyedropper tool, click on the white area of the image and click the transparent button in the color palette.

  • The copy does not copy everything and makes the partially transparent pixels

    I had this happen several times now when I copy a selection it will copy everything it contains exactly as it appears in the reference. It copies sometimes more and sometimes he makes outside partially transparent pixels. It's a bit annoying when you do the SNES. A way to disable this option? See the pictures attached for reference.

    This brand as a moment DPEP.

    Artur: Try to do this with the option of "smoothing" out on the magic wand Options bar.

    My guess is because this option is enabled and that your work is so small (because it is based on the pixels), Photoshop is interpolate the selection to include a "smoothing" to transparency.

    This work has a hard edge, so there is no need of anti-aliasing.

    Update your video card drivers. Bring:

    1. site of the device mftr. ; OR
    2. site of the card mother mftr. If the material is on board; OR
    3. website of the OEM manufacturer for your specific machine if you have a PC OEM (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

    Read the installation instructions on the Web site where you get the drivers.

    To find out what hardware is in your computer:

    1. read all documentation that you got when you purchased the computer.
    2. If the computer is OEM, access the site Web of the OEM for your specific model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
    3. download, install and run a program of inventory of the free system like Belarc Advisor or System Information for Windows.

  • How can know you if someone has consulted and used the default Administrator account in Vista?

    I was not aware that the default Administrator account is so easily accessible if there is no password on it. In my view, a standard user has accessed this and it seems that the computer is having a lot of problems now. Is there a way to tell? Needless to say I care that much personal info could acceded as well as commercial information.  Security, 3 administartors (users) appears in some of the boxes, and I only know 2 of them, myself and the default admin?  I'm a recruit of the computer and the other person is somewhat a geek so I could really use some help. I am the system administrator, but don't really know what to look for. I would really appreciate if some wiz could help me.

    You can't find if someone has consulted and used the default Administrator account in Vista. You will need to set up a password so that no one will be able to access the admin account.
