I have some logo's im using to make some promotional material. The JPEG's all come with a white background.

What i want to do is tweak them so that the background is transparent and i can save them as a GIF so that i can use them on any colour background in the future.

Anyone know how in photoshop i can make the white background transparent??

Ive tried saving it as a GIF but it doesnt work as the image is all one layer so i need to try another technique to do it.

Any ideas??

 

You need to use the selector tool (looks a little like a magic wand) to select your logo, then copy and paste in to a new file and save as a gif... *

*the above is 99% accurate as best I know without having it in front of me to test

 

cool shall try that when i get home!

 

Use the wand tool to select the white background [not the logo], you should see the little ant type things crawling around the logo? Then hit delete.

Make sure the opacity of any background layer/s is set to 1 [it won't go to zero] then save as Gif

Edited to add, if you've deleted the white and the background is opaque, the background should be little grey and white squares, like a chessboard

 

^ Yes, do that
