Adobe Photoshop

Hi,

I've provided an image of what I want to make transparent. As you can see it's not exactly right.

Seems like it's something that a photoshop guru can do in less than 5 minutes.

You can check out how the image look live here www.talkclassicrock.com/forums

Can someone help me out here?

Thanks!!

select the background colour then use the eraser tool, save the file as a .gif or a .png.

NB IE has "issues" with alpha transparency in PNGs

I'm a dummy.

How do I select the background color?

Use the "Magic wand" tool

Hello,

You want to make image transparent right? than you only do in photo shop with the help of "wand tool".

Would it be possible for you guys to be a little more specific? I tried the "wand tool", obviously incorrectly, because it didn't do a thing.

Thanks for all your help bro. I found that I had to be very precise. Almost to the point were it was actually impossible to be able draw that fine. So, I gave up for now.

But, again thanks!
