seubjoh Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I am stacking .png images to create a 3D effect. I was wondering how I could set certain pixels to be transparent or see through. I want you to be able to see a picture that is behind another if the first picture is "empty". I have used a tool to set all the pixels I want to be see through to black (0,0,0) and I was wondering if there was a tool that would allow me to change all pixels that were equal to this value to transparent or see through. Thanks! Hopefully this is clear (no pun intended), this is my first time posting and I'm new to photo editing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seubjoh Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 is there any way you can select pixels that are a certain color? I know you can use magic wand but it would be easier if I could just select all black pixels and then make them transparent. Thanks for the quick reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
