Depends a lot on the image. Theer are whole books on this topic …
For starters, try clicking on the white background with the magic wand. May need to follow this up with the Select Similar command. Then invert the selection [SHFT-CTRL-I] and copy to a new layer [CTRL-J].
if that doesnt work go into Edit>Extract
CTRL P to paste onto the logo graphic.
CTRL V to Paste. CTRL P to print.
CTRL V to Paste. CTRL P to print.
Opps! I know that! Read what I meant, not what I typed!!! :-p
If the guitar is on a plain white background, try this…
Duplicate the layer. Click the "F" at the bottom of the layers pallet and choose blending options, the Blending options dialog appears.
About in the middle of the dialog is a dropdown called Knockout – choose shallow.
Now the slider that says "this layer", look at the pointer on the right. Use Alt-Click to split that apart and drag it to the left. Look at the image – white is gone.
Stamp that by creating a new layer and while keeping the Alt key held down, choose Layers|Merge Visible. Your guitar will be on a transparent background.
Amazing but true…
Peace,
Tony

Any help would be appreciated ….mjh

Hello,
For some reason my "Liquify" filter is playing up! When I open an image in Photoshop7 and select the Liquify filter, I am unable to ‘distort’ the parts of the image I want. Instead, clicking the brush over a part of the image results in a square at the point (acting like the clone tool). Holding the mouse in one position has no effect.
Hopefully this is just a setting issue.

Edit: please ignore: It is now working. I had the "thaw" button depressed in the left menu. All is ok now.

Hi all,
My question relates to the Imageready programme. I can open an avi (video) into Imageready. Is it possible to apply a filter (eg watercolour) to all the frames of the avi without having to apply it to each frame individually? If so, how?
Cheers,
Paul

Look for a post from Dec 20 with subject, "Droplets are cool".
Thank you…but I’ll reply to that thread as I’m still confused. Paul

I recently installed PSE2 on my computer, having used PSE for over a year. When I open photos is PSE2, the photo is immediately darkened from the original image. If I have a thumbnail of available photos up on the screen in PSE2, the thumbnail pictures are normal, but as soon as they are opened, they are darkened. (The thumbnail is then darkened, as well, although the original picture still appears fine in the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer). I never had this problem with PSE. I have calibrated my monitor (LCD, with the same result. My OS is Windows XP. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Deacon,
You are pretty much describing how PSE2 acted for me until I installed the IgnoreEXIF utility, which is available for download from Adobe’s Support site.

It sounds to me like your monitor profile is bad . Ian Lyons Image Flow <
http://www.btinternet.com/~ian.lyons/ps7-colour/ps7_color.gi f>
shows that that profile is what interprets your image to the screen in Elements/Photoshop . Is it possible that you have a factory profile available for the display ? And , that you could load that factory profile into Adobe Gamma, and then immediately save it under another name, to be used as the default. That’s what I get from the Adobe techdoc <
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/1403e.htm> .
🙂

Byron and Brent,
Thank you both for your suggestions. I calibrated my monitor with the software that came with it, rather than the Adobe Gamma. I didn’t really understand that the purpose of the calibration was to create the profile that PSE2 would use to read the picture. Using Adobe Gamma fixed the problem. I’m still too much of a neophyte to all this.
In any event, it works now. Thanks again for taking the time to help.
John
Deacon,
Just out of curiosity.
I wonder why the darkening all of a sudden appeared since you use PSE as you were already a user of PS?

HELP !!
After using Elements 1 for two years, I purchased an Epson 3200 scanner; Elements 2came with the scanner so I installed it. Now I cannot find a way to put a border around my photos, was a simple job in Elements 1, any suggestions?
Thanks all, you have helped many times in the past.
People seem to define "border" differently. Do you mean like a plain colored strip all around the outside edges? If so, select the entire image and then go to Edit>Stroke. You can choose the width (in pixels) for your border and the color, and choose if you want the border inside the edges of the image, outside, or centered.
If this isn’t what you want to do, could you try and describe it a bit more clearly, please?

Jpeg does not support transparency. Although you can save an additional "alpha" channel containing this information, it will not necessarily be interpreted by the software that will be viewing it.
You may find PNG a more satisfactory image format, since it is now supported by most web browsers.
Otherwise your only alternative for web work is Compuserve GIF, which has problems with fringing – i.e. the matte color must match the background against which the image will be viewed.

If you want email, don’t ask questions on a newsgroup.
You can’t save a jpg with a transparent bac=kground because jpg’s don’t support transparency.

Hi
A photographer friend is having a problem starting Photoshop, he rang this morning.
When he attempts to start the program it goes through the splash screen shapes fonts loading etc, then just when it should start it disappears!!!
Any thoughts would be great
Thanks

The program could be corrupted.
Try an uninstall and re-install.

Paun,
Probably the best method is to find scenes with snow with lighting similar to your existing scene and then place pieces of it, as necessary, on Layers with Layer Masks. You can also do a Googles.Groups search for this, and teh alt… photoshop NG, as there was recent discussion on "building" snow and some of those tips might help you.

Hello, I used a 30 day free trial of Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and it expired. I was wondering if there was a way to download it again and get another 30 days? Please help.
Byan,
Once a trial has expired, that’s it…no more trial period. Plus, as PS7 is now 2 versions old, it is unlikely you’d find it available through Adobe for download any more. At best, you’d probably want to try the current PS CS2 demo, also with a 30-day limit.
Regards,
Daryl
thanks…um where would i download that?
Bryan. Please don’t double post.
Hi,
This is a new one for me. I’ve been using Photoshop CS2 for quite a while, but decided to do some panoramas in Panorama Factory. For some reason i can’t open the resulting panorama jpg image in photoshop. I get the message: cannot complete your request because of a problem parsing the jpeg data. Any help appreciated. The file is around 6Mb in size.
Cheers,
Paul
P.S. if I try to open it in IPhoto (my other editor)…it doesn’t open, and says it is more than 32,000 pixels wide.
Hello,

Just a thought.
I was playing with the Shadows / Highlights settings, to get ‘flat colours’
Unfortunately, I ended up with ‘haloing’ – I don’t know why.
See
http://www.flickr.com/photos/watchman/1418946399/ However it could be a good starting place before going to an artistic transformation.
The other way is to ‘posterize’, combined with the above.
