If you have some anti-aliased text on a white background all in a PNG image, what is the easiest way to make the background transparent?
Thanks.
Well, the easiest way is to select the are you want then DEL and SAVE to PNG and you have it. There are 1001 different ways for selecting, and how clean will be depending on how clean the image is, here is few
1. Using Magic Wand
2. Magnetic
3. Color Range to select the color you want to pick (+ option for more). Then use Laso to select the area you don’t want to remove it from the selection
But TEXT, you may want to replace it with better text than messing around with it as it may not worth the trouble. And sometime it’s easier to SELECT the text (assuming it’s a large one) than removing the background around it.
1. Select the TEXT using tool similar to selecting background
2. Using other tool(s) to enhence the text then paste back to replace the original.. or whatever you want to do in the first place.
BTW, I am horrible with text, but did try to deal with the original text few times
