[Photoshop] - how do i flaten w/out background and lighning
Hi. I have several bitmap images all in one page in phoyodhop. I flaten the image but whenever i flaten the image i get a white background.
1.How can i flaten an image with no backgrouns?
and
2. i created a logo in corel 13 and whenever i open it in photoshop cs, it comes with a white background and i tried saving it as an ai but photoshop says it cant open it. How do i save it so i can open just the vector logo without the background/
3. I was creating some lighning in photoshop and another background problem(lol) i did the lighning with the gradient tool then the difference clouds but i would like to keep the lightning just itself and not the black background
Im also trying to screen print this on a shirt using simulated on fast films. Im not really good at photoshop. What do you guys think of this print/image. Any do's donts anything i can miver around to make it look better. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks
For #3, it can be done a bunch of different ways, but usually I use the magic wand tool, then click the black area or areas, then click Select - Inverse, then Layer - New - Layer Via Copy ... then will have your new layer with lightning and no background.
You are exporting as an ai from corel? Try opening the image in illustrator first before opening it in photoshop. Open it with illustrator, it will still be vector, manually delete the black background, save it as an illustrator file and then open it with photoshop. One thing though, images with lots of effects don't seem to translate well between corel and illustrator. Photoshop can definitely open AI files though, it will rasterize them, but it definitely will open them. I sep my ai files in photoshop all of the time.
