TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
You could try this, in Photoshop, if you haven't already:
Change the image to indexed color (Image > Mode > Indexed Color).
Save it as a GIF file.
Select File > Export > GIF89aExport.
Run the eyedropper tool over all the colors in the image that you want to
turn invisible (or select the colors you want to get rid of in the color
panel).
When you have the image you want, click Save and name it (I usually add
something like "_trans.gif" to that name to distinguish it from the regular
.gif file)
Now you've got a transparent gif that can go on a web site. It's also easy
to select, copy, and paste into a photoshop file (over other layers).
Best,
Genève
