Photoshop question. Transparent backgrounds?

Question

In Photoshop, how do I make the background of an image transparent so I can use just the shape without the white background? Part of a project. Please help!

Answer 1

Use the background eraser tool.



Its a sub menu of the normal eraser tool, just right click and pick the one with a scissor next to a eraser. Set the options at the top which are hardness and size.

Answer 2

if it already has a background, you will have to extract what you want, or erase the background. If you are starting from scratch, in the dialog box for a new sheet, you can select a transparent background.



when you go to save the files though, you will have to save them as a .PNG file--if you save it as a JPEG it will still have a white background.

Answer 3

In photoshop, you ought to click on the word 'history' on your layers palette. the computing device will rename the 'history' - layer O. Now that your photograph is a layer you could erase as much as you like and the 'checkerboard' will come via showing that despite you erased is thoroughly long previous. Nick
