How to clean up lines off a circular logo? (Quick selection tool, not 100% clean on curved lines)

[Furbzeyyy]

Hi,

Query:

I have this logo, but the cropped curved lines aren't clean with blue on the outside of the logo outer line.

Any help would be greatly appreciated please people

Hi

Select with the elliptical marquee tool and use Select > Transform Selection to adjust your selection to give an exact fit. Then you can mask or delete as required.

Hi Davescm,

Thanks again for commenting and helping.

1. Used Elliptical marquee tool, but doesn't fit exactly to circle

2. Used Select> Transform, but cannot get exact height to width as they both change in respective to the other

what to do?

Hi

When using Select >Transform hold down the Shift key whilst dragging the side handles in order to change the aspect ratio

Wouldn't it be easier just to recreate the logo, better done in Illustrator but quite easy to do in Photoshop, I left out the bottom text cause it's to small to read

[davescm]

Ged - if this is to be used as a new logo I completely agree with you.  I suspect though, given the OPs other thread here Extracting one item cleanly to another background? , that the selection may be to adjust the logo within an image (in my example in that thread I reversed it). If that is the case it is better to leave it at it's original resolution so it matches the rest of the image. Horses for courses as they say

At least I know what the bottom bit says now

Rebuild if you can.  That gives you a master to resize whatever you need. 

I _think_ I have the text right, but shout if not.

This not the original chair.

This is the original chair, but not desperately clean with so tiny a source image

I found  one other version with different text spacing, so I don't know which is right, or if it is important

PM me your email if you want the layered file with vector shapes and text.

Hey Ged Traynor,

I would love to nick that logo of yours, very good quality, but you missed the 'e', its 'Moseley'. Then I can nick it

Sorry, im very new to graphic design but want to learn and get better, its going to be a steep learning process indeed!

[Furbzeyyy]

I mean Trevor.Dennis​, sorry ^^

[Trevor.Dennis]

Here you go.  This is 300 pixels high with the original chair and Moseley corrected.  Do you want the 1000 pixel version with the different chair?  Or if you have a better chair graphic, you can add it to this PSD file.

Good luck

Thankyou so much.

So to extract each one, I simply have to

1. Frame

2. Smart object

3. drag into another photoshop tab

4. Remove background/transparent if required

4. Save for web at around H:200px for logo?

Turn off or delete the unwanted layers.

Image > Trim > Transparent

Select and right click the required layers > Convert to Smart Object

What I do with all Smart Objects that I am likely to use again, is to drag into a CC Library. 

If you have file sync enabled  in the CC Application Manager you can now access the graphic from anywhere in the world if it has Internet connection.  This is one of CC's best features.  You make a library for each client or major project, and store Smart Object graphics, fonts, colour swatches, brushes.....   These can be accessed and shared between CC apps and other users (who you choose to share with).  If a client comes back with a new job years later, you don't have to spend time hunting down the assets for their projects.   It is also _very_ quick dragging a graphic out of a library into a document.  I LOVE CC Libraries.

Can you draw a circle path with Ellipse tool and adjust as necessary, then apply Vector Mask? This will make the edge sharp.
