Vanessa Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 How can we make a background for a photo completely transparent? I really need explanation in details if possible because it doesn t help with croping. I need to have only the photo exactly without anything around. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dairyman Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Select the part of the photo which you want to be transparent and simply press del. Save the photo as a PNG. so it maintains the transparency... Hope this helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dairyman Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Ok Vanessa. I got your PM...And I'll use your example "V" 1. Click the magic wand select tool and adjust the tolerance so that it selects the necessary amount of the image. 2. Click on the part of the image which you don't want... In this case, it's the white on the outside of the "V". Your image should now look like this: 3. And now click on the del button on your keyboard or go to Edit>Erase selection. Your picture should now be transparent. The checkerboard backround is just to indicate that, that part of the photo is transparent. This is your finished Product! DO NOT FORGET TO SAVE YOUR PHOTO AS A PNG. OR ELSE IT WILL NOT WORK. Your done! :wink: I hoped this helped because this is as specific as I can get. If you want to select a part of a photo with more colors and details, I recommend SearedIce's magnificent "Cutout Effect" http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=1100 I hope there's not too much pictures :oops: Note: Internet Explorer currently does not support .png transparency. So you have to view it on Mozilla Firefox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
