i am making a banner for a website for school atm

and i am taking the blizzard logo and i want to crop just the logo not the background

its a image like this

i use PS 6.0 at home and PS cs3 at school

anyone know how to take the black background and take it off? because it clashes with my background i have in the banner

lmk via pm or post

magic wand usually works, but this has glow, which might make it harder
use the pentool and render it

i tryed the magic wand dont help with the black in the center of letters :\

is there a way to make the color black's Opequesity change, but not the word blizzard entertainment

Render it with the pentool.

open up the image, unlock it, click on "channels"

ctrl shift click red, green, and blue individually

you should see the entire logo BUT the black selected.

go to layer --> new --> layer via copy

delete your original layer and you should have the logo without the background

You'll also have to ctrl click the channel "RGB"



with more complex images you'll have to use the pen tool

trying it now

is that for cs3 or 6.0?

dunno about cs3, i use cs5.

I can't imagine it's something TOO new

could try another way if the channel way doesn't work for ya

select -> color range -> select the black color on the preview -> click ok -> hit delete (you can slide the adjustment bar to adjust the selected area if it doesn't select it sharp enough)

you won't get a good render unless you physically trace it, whether you pentool it, lasso it or add a clipping mask and paint it away. the 3D effect and depth of the letters going back is covered in black shadow, so eyedropping or color selecting won't make up for it.. maybe adding a clipping mask and subtracting the black and then paint back in the depth of the letters.
