Kinda noob in photoshop here. Sifu plz help me.
Let's say i wanna make the picture below the background transparent, what tools should i use?
I only know how to use magic wand selct the stuff i want and paste to another new transparent sheet. Sometimes using magic wand can't select the picture nicely.

How about using the color range function?

In photoshop, go to : Select>Color Range and use the eyedropper tool to choose the colour you wish to remove (in this case, white)

when it's selected, just hit delete.

you can use color range to remove the white.. then later you'll need to create a new layer beneath the logo to make the 'K' doesn't have a hole. after that you just merge the file and the background of the logo should be transparent liao. smile.gif

cheers.

just have a new layer under the red, color the K with any color you want.

That I think you will have to crop manually, by using the pentool to make selections, or use the eraser tool.
