 |
|
I'm new to the design game and am receiving logos from clients with the white box around them. Besides using the magic wand or pen tool, (which makes the type/logo pixelated), are there any other ways to fix this problem? |

Hi,
How about posting a couple of them here and let me see what we're looking at. Also, you could e-mail them to me as well just to make sure I get them.

So here is one of the images marc was talking about
this gets us started. I will let this sit for a little while to see if anyone else has any ideas before I give my limited knowledge a start.

hi,
well moondog by far better than me... just a novice...
my thoughts....
you may need to change the mode to rgm and not gif when doing this...
another way i use is do channel masking..... using one of your channel that has the highest contrast, make a duplicate and then select all the white areas and then inverse and save as a mask.... then delete all the white areas.... then going back you can load the mask and eliminate the white areas and make it transparent.... if satisfactory then save as a gif and make sure transparency (if that what you want ) is check mark when you go to save...
now sometime you get halo effects ... llittle white scatter around the object... I run into that quite a bit..... and i always refer to this tutorial that eliminates the halo and make the objects a little sharper... word for transparent gif and png's

hope that helps
