question: do i really need photoshop for this?

[MagicalFlump]

@PoopingForPoopers yes

[danigyrl7]

Thanks! Gonna use that! What do you do if your image is a free form (not a circle or square)?

[MagicalFlump]

@danigyrl7 Select the unwanted area with the magic wand

is there another way to do? What version of Photoshop are using. I am using CS5 and .png file is not showing as a save as option. A lot of option are missing from the list.

[MagicalFlump]

@j2cool2 no, search on Google for a Photoshop CS5 .png plugin

I couldn't find what I was looking for anywhere... I watched 15 video tutorials before I finally found this one... Thank you so much for saving me! Haha I couldn't have made my header logo without this. I'm using iWeb so it publishes differently in all browsers meaning that my logo has to be in a transparent picture format in order for the proper font and look to load in all browsers. Take a look at w w w.Rugs By Suggs.c o m and let me know what you think! It's homemade so don't be too harsh!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I was saving my file as a jpeg and couldn't get it into another program without the white background showing up on my logo. I followed your instructions and saved the file as a .png and it worked great!
