Partially transparent logo

Hi webmaster698,

Looks like you have a lot of great advice here. I'd say go through them and use the one that works best for you.

When I look at this, I think of using the Rectangular Marquee tool to select the C square and then create the bottom right corner by removing a portion of the selection. You could also use other selection tools to create that shape like the Pen Tool or Polygonal Lasso tool. Once you have a selection, copy that onto it's own layer and hide the layer.

Use your favorite selection method to select the white areas and then hit Comm+Shift+I to inverse your selection. Now that you have all your text selected, copy that onto a new layer. Now just delete the layer with white pixels and you should be left with what you need.

Hope you find this helpful!

Good luck

Forgive me for not understanding your request.

If you want the type on its own transparent layer make a rectangular selection of the type In the composite and strike Cmd+J

Deleting the type from the composite to leave only the logo is a simple matter of rectangular Select and Delete.

Drag the layer's Lock in the Layers panel to the Trash.

Use the Polygonal tool to outline the C logo. It will create a Selection of marching ants.

Select > Inverse the Selection. Click on the Mask symbol at the bottom of the Layer panel.
The result is the top image
Add the type layers. (The result is the bottom image

Cmd+Opt+Shift produces a composite layer that can be dragged onto another file (rightmost layer panel shows it). This allows you, at a future time, to edit the total image by trashing the composite layer, editing the image, and creating a new composite layer.

Let me try to answer your question:

Create layer below layer with image then paint with white where you want your lines to remain white (you are probably deleting that part of image after selecting them using magic wand).

You are using the magic eraser tool, not the magic wand tool.

You can try changing the tolerance.

Can you post the image so that we can see how to approach that?

FAQ: How do I capture and post a screen shot or video?

webmaster698  wrote Hi all, I know how to make the background of a logo transparent using the magic wand tool, this is no problem.  The problem I have run into is, I have a particular logo that is two images, a picture and text.  The picture has some white lines in it, that the magic wand always wants to make transparent, and I want them to remain white.

The magic want does not change any pixels it just select pixels so you can work on them.  If the white pixels are made transparent that was not done by the magic want tool. It only makes selections.
