OT: Photoshop Help

The easiest thing to do is to select your fade with the magic wand, then invert the selection; then select the layer with the text and delete.

Arrggghhh!!! Does anyone know Photoshop well? I have a logo with a transparent background, but the logo is also supposed to have a fade in it that is transparent. It stays white no matter what I do and I've tried every tutorial on pshop I can find.

Are the white areas in the logo supposed to be transparent?

And I just kept coming up with this ...

Sorry schnauzers ... looks like I'm the last guy to ask about photoshop

... seriously, dont know anything about it, but have you tried outlining the logo with the freehand tool? Only thing I can think of ...
BTW, Put me down for one of those softball t's when you get it figured out :thumbsup:

Gotcha. I'll take a crack at it. Looks like you might need to rasterize the logo layer and merge the mask layers. Give me a minute...

OK, I've got it, but it's too big to upload. PM me an email address and I'll send it along.

Did you send it? Didn't come through and it's not in the SPAM folder.

I tried that. I ended up with just the logo and none of the fade.

Ok. Tried again and magic wanded everything that wasn't white. Cut. Pasted new on transparent. BINGO!

Free shirts for all anyway. I'm trying to book something local again, but not the Buff. They don't pay and I don't want to charge a cover.

right on - keep us posted.
I'm serious about the shirt - I'll buy one when available ... will have to merge another T.I.T.S. ride with a gig night:thumbsup:

Sent it a while ago, and nothing's bounced back to me.

Sounds like you've got it figured out, but let me know if you need any help.

Yeah, the way I see it there are a few options. Keep it in Golden and trying to get into IW or Wrigleys (though neither one is really setup for it). Trying Evergreen and bringing it to Cactus Jacks. We just got some LoDo gigs, so things are picking up fast.

Anyone know about the new place in between Peak and the outdoor store? Blue Canyon Bar and Grill? Looks small and awfully close to the Ace.

Blue Canyon used to be a really cool wine bar. However, they changed hands a few years back and the ambiance changed a bit. Still a cool place, a bit small. I believe that have a small stage. Certainly worth checking out, Schnauzers! :thumbsup:
