| Hazard:
I'm trying to make the background of my avatar transparent. I'm using Photoshop. These are the exact steps I go through: 1. Open the original .jpg file 2. Select all the black areas 3. Copy it onto a new file with a transparent background 4. Save it as a .gif What am I doing wrong?!?! |
| OneWithFire:
Well... You dont copy it to s trans background. 1. Delete background layer 2. Use magic wand on all the areas to remove 3. Delete those areas 4. Save as .png 5. ??? 6. Profit. |
| Hazard:
The original image is all one layer so there's no transparent background underneath it all and saving it as a .png made it do this... |
| OneWithFire:
Then dont delete th background, use the magic wand tool. Select deleted parts, then hit delete. Save is as a .png NOT interlaced. If it doesn't work, then you computer just wants to eat you. EDIT: If you notice, checkerboard means transparent. |
| Hazard:
Still not working. Here's a more detailed version of what I do: 1. Open the original .jpg file 2. Select the magic wand tool 3. Make a big circle around everything 4. Select>Color Range>Highlights (all the white areas) 5. Hit delete 6. White areas become black 7. Hit delete again 8. Nothing happens... |
