PS question
In Photoshop, I had a black and white logo. I used the magic eraser and made the white transparent. How do I save it so that it stays transparent. For instance if I want to put it on any color backround, it will work?
in vector format or something? thanx [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] |

I think it should stay transparent if you just save it normally [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Saving it as a normal Photoshop work file will preserve transparency. For the Web, doing it as a GIF 89a or PNG is usually the way to go.

Instead of File\Save As..., use File\Save For Web... and it'll be there.

I tried that, but when I opened it in something like PSP 7 or word, it shows up with a backround. Is that supposed to happen?

Hmm, can't say about PSP, but with Photoshop there is a Transparency option for GIF images under File\Save For Web... that can be checked (and is, by default).
Word isn't a great place to play with graphics; a desktop publishing application like Quark is better for that. __________________

hey headhunter. I appreciate so much you helping me with this. Something isnt working right, maybe it is the way I explained it that is causing the confusion [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]
I need to order t-shirts for my organization and I have a logo that is black and white. the backround is white and the actual words are black. I need to make that image a vector image so that I can email it to the people who I am buying the shirts from so they can put it on the shirt. Hope that helps. And again I appreciate it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] |

It's all good. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
The way I've always done things like that, is to open the raster (pixel based) image up in a vector illustration program, and redraw on top of it with vector tools (mostly the Pen tool). Is that an option? If not, I found a possible solution that I'm testing out, will report on that later... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] __________________

Yeah, drawing over in vector tools...
Wanted to test this before mentioning it, but I don't have the hard drive space to install Flash...if you have Flash and the image stored as a JPG, this may be helpful. __________________

Which, you mean the provided link? If so, all of those steps are the options you use within the respective programs (Flash, then Photoshop). [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Almost never home; if you see me posting before some rediculously late hour like 4am, I'm probably at school behind a firewall. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
What exactly is the problem? I can try to walk you through it step by step. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] __________________
