Hello,

I was wondering if I could gain some assistance with a project I am working on. I am very new to Adobe Photoshop but I do know some basics. I have a jpeg file that is a logo that I was given from a client. My objective is to break the logo into individual components so that I may manipulate them into a flash presentation. I have successfully used the wand tool and placed individual elements into seperate files. My only issue is that I would like to save only the image itself and not the background of the image so that I will not have the background when I import into Flash. Does anyone have any ideas what I might do? Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you can point me to a reference that would be great too.

Thank you,

Paul

select your parts with the magic wand go to select menu and choose inverse then hit the backspace key and its all gone. Save it as a gif or png file, but not as a jpeg. should be fine in flash.

Flash can import transparent PNG files. Use Save for Web to create transparent PNGs.
