how could i make the background in this image transparent with photoshop?

 

Just like this ;)

 

 

Just use that magic eraser thing, and erase all the white background.

copy everything in the picture and click on new (so you get a new file) the size is already set for you since you copied the picture. then look at what is set for the background, choose transparant.

 

then you can use multiple things but 2 are the easiest:

 

 

 

1. use the magic wand to delete the white (you can change the tolerance)

 

2. use the background remover and select white as the background colour

 

 

 

then save this as a .png or .gif with a transparant background (jpg & bmp can't!) If you want to save space choose: Save for web

thanks i think ive got it : :thumbsup:

lol missed the white spot in the middle

okay ive messed up?

 

what i did was i started a new layer and made it transparent then i pasted on the image and used the magic wand to selct everything then i pushed delete on the key pad.

 

this is what it came up with:

 

 

what did i do wrong?

You need to lasoo the image, then copy your char into a new project, with a transparent background. :)

i tried it im a bit sloppy with the lasoo but it works : :thumbsup: i would still like to know the magic wand thou.

Use the pen tool to render unless you want it to look sloppy.

Seeing as the image has hard edges anyway using the pen tool is way overkill...

 

You've got a one color background (white) so the magic wand tool is all you need.

 

 

 

Just create a new transparent layer in the image and place it below the layer with your character on it.

 

Then make sure the layer with your character on it is active, take out the magic wand tool and click the white area.

 

Hit delete and it should become transparent.

 

Repeat this for the spaces between his legs and then save it as png of gif.

you can do what the person above me said but you can also do this:s select all the white with the magic wand (use alt and shift to select extra or deselect things) then right click and choose the option to reverse the selection (I have a dutch version so I don't know what it is called) then copy that and click on new file with a transparant background and copy it.

i figured out what i was doing wrong i was opening the image first then creating a transparent background rather than copying and pasting from paint, which resulted in 2 seperate layers.

 

anyway this is what i got

 

a lil sloppy but im happy

 

thanks everyone for teaching me the ways of photoshop transparency. =D> =D> =D>
