PSE 7  Need to transparent the background of a line art logo and name

PSE7  How do I make the background transparent behind a line art logo (a lily and my name)?  There used to be a tutorial about a line art map in black and white, but I can't find it.  Thanks.

There are several ways. One way:
1. Select>All
2. Edit>Copy
3. add a black color solid fill layer
4. alt (option) click on the layer mask in the layers panel
5. Edit>Paste (your pasting into the layer mask)
6. Filter>adjustments>invert (invert the layer mask) Ctrl(cmd)-I
That gives your logo on transparency (the logo will be black, so if you want to change the color, you clip a color fill layer)
transparent:
on color:
layers:
color changed (solid color clipped ) Layer>Create Clipping Mask

    hi, i am really new to photo shop and i have a logo design which i need to have the background made transparent from a white square? can anyone assist please?
    i have already got the image on my screen but cant seem to find the tool in which to make it transparent as i do with other softwares.

    hi aknaloku,
    is the background apart of your image or is the image on a different layer?
    if the white background is on a different layer you can simply delete the layer for the layers window which you can find in Window>Layer. you will need to delete the background layer by dragging it into the little rubbish bin icon down the bottom right of the layers window.
    i hoped this helped

  • Transparent the background or compare 2 pdf documents

    usully, the background of any pdf software is white.
    I need transparent the backgroud of one pdf document.
    I have an orgignal pdf document, I write a copy by MS word. I would like transparentize the copy, Then I can compare between the copy and the original.
    Do you find any solution about transparent the background?  Do you know any software pdf which can be transparentized?

    A PDF page is not white - it's transparent. However in Acrobat or Adobe Reader you always see a white representation of the page, and that cannot be turned off.
    You have two options - import one PDF into another as a layer, or open both files in another application (Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.).

  • I am new to this I am trying to do something very simple.  I need to change the background color to

    I need to change the background color of a photo to white and then shrink the head of a photo for a passport and make the picture output a 2x2.
    Can someone help.  Thx

    Here are the requirements for US passport. Scroll down for the passport tool to make the picture utilizing one on your disk.
    http://travel.state.gov/passport/pptphotoreq/pptphotoreq_5333.html
    If you decide to make it in Elements and print it, you should have a resolution of 240-300 px/in for a good output.  I suggest that you print the 2 photos on good quality paper, probably both on 4x6 stock, and trim with scissors to specification.
    Open your picture and go to Image>resize>picture size, and check the resolution. If it is less than 240 px/in, enter 240 in the field and see if the dimensions remain adequate. If not, you may have to resize.
    Use one of the selection tool, e.g. lasso tool, or selection brush tool, to select head and shoulders
    Go to Edit>copy to put the selection on the clipboard
    Open a new, blank file (File>new>blank file) 2.25 x2.25", resolution the same value as your picture, background white
    Go to Edit>paste. The picture will be on its own layer
    Access the move tool to position it, and to resize with the corner handles of the bounding box, if necessary
    Please report back with your progress.

    the background on my ipad is pink and constantly moving after being dropped.  Any suggestions?

    Hello mickd1505c,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    It's appears as though you need to seek hardware service for your iPad since this occurred after you dropped it.

    First, you posted in the Mac App Store forum which are apps for the Mac OS X, not iOS devices.
    You do not need to re purchase your apps. Connect your iOS devices to your computer, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Apps then click Sync
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I would like to upgrade my OS to the latest version.  I now have 10.6.8 and my machine has 1Gb of memory.  Need 2Gb for the new OS.  Is is possible (and practical) to add memory to a machine that's five years old?

    You can put two 2gb RAM sticks in your model 2,1 but it can only use 3,3gb. This is a hardware limitation and cannot be changed.

    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/faq/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-3-g b-memory-limitation-details.html
    OWC tests have found that there is a slight speed increase with having two 2gb sticks in rather than one 1gb and one 2gb. Your model is in the gray lines at the bottom of the graph. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Memory_Benchmark/Apple_MacBook/
    You can buy Lion for $29 from the App Store witht a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. As for programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.
    These are good online stores for Mac compatible RAM
    OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/ - They offer Mac tested RAM at very good prices.
    Crucial Memory http://www.crucial.com/ - good place to buy RAM from all over the world. They also have an excellent memory selector that allows you to choose memory based on your computer's model
    Data Memory Systems http://www.datamemorysystems.com/apple-memory.asp - another good, cheap place to buying RAM if you live in the U.S.
    Here are instructions on replacing RAM in a MacBook with a removable battery. http://homeoffice.consumerelectronicsnet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=44404
    If you don’t have the tools to open up the MacBook OWC has a set for $5

    Ummm....Oracle Forms is a foreground runtime kind of thing. What you want is a database procedure (or an OS utility - it depends on what sort of processing you want to do in the background).

    I try to open Acrobat I get a message that I need to register the product. I click on register and after about a minute, I'm told that I don't have an internet connection. My internet connection is working fine. In fact I registered Acrobat Pro XI using my account, but the program itself will not recognize it or allow me to use the software. What do I do?

    If you already registered, then there is no point to trying to do so again. Simply dismiss the dialog.

  • I need to plot the Least Squares Regression Line (not just calculate it with the LINEST function).  How?

    I need to plot the Least Squares Regression Line (not just calculate its values with the LINEST function).  Can anyone advise me on how to graph this line?

      Grapher.app in OS X Utilities is excellent for that : entering data from Numbers Excel etc. into a Grapher "Point Set", plotting all your data, computing and plotting a regression curve linear or exponential or polynomial.
      Unfortunately there is not a single word about point sets and regression in the Grapher Help.
    So, suggest you download (free) "Instruction for Use - Grapher on web site
    http://y.barois.free.fr/grapher/Documentation.html
    and go to page 31 to 37, "Initiation > Lesson 6 : Treating a point set (Regression curve), and also page 68, "Appendix 1. Points sets : from speadsheets to Grapher".
      If you try Grapher's regression curves, please tell us about the manual above : useful or not, too easy or difficult, readable or not etc.
      Thank you.

    PS. Documentation about Grapher is also here : Google "Apple Grapher" > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapher > Article > Talk > Grapher 1.1 to 2.3 (French and English) (11th september 2012)

  • Why does my iMac display keep shutting off?  Computer still running in the background.  I've tried unplugging and restarting, to no avail.

    Why does my iMac display keep shutting off?  Computer still running in the background.  I've tried unplugging and restarting, to no avail.    The computer is well out of warranty - about 7-8 years old, running 10.6.8

    Checked.... the settings had not been inadvertently changed, but I did move the scroll and reset them back to the original.   Hasn't shut off again.... yet.   Will re-post with follow-up one way or the other.   Thanks.

  • ITunes 11 freezing while transfering music, and can't eject it, so I need to disconnect the cable, then iTunes works just fine and my iPod Shuffle is in restoring mode. I've been having this issue for weeks, and never had it before with iTunes 10.

    iTunes 11 freezes and can't eject my iPod, so I need to disconnect the cable, then iTunes works just fine and my iPod Shuffle is in restoring mode. I've been having this issue for weeks, and never had it before with iTunes 10. Please tell me at least a way to eject it without losing all my data and being forced to format/restore the iPod.    I've got 2GB iPod Shuffle 2nd generation(:D)

    As a test, shut down (power off) your computer and disconnect all USB devices including hub (except for standard keyboard and mouse if normally used).  If your computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power).  Do this to reset the shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    Start up the computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer.  Does this problem recur when the shuffle is the only USB device?
    If it does (as another test), select the shuffle in iTunes, so that its Settings screen is showing.  Check the box for Enable disk use, and Apply.  Does that make any difference regarding this problem?

    Use the Apple ID support -> http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/ - click through the contact information and select the iTunes, etc., hot button. You can have Apple call you or email them.
