[Question] About transparency.

[MiraDBZ]

I have downloaded some icons and i want them to be transparent. What is the easiest way to do this? Can anyone suggest me a method/program ?

Of course.It can be done with adobe photoshop.Just open the image and use the magic wand tool/ selection tool (choose polygonial tool if you like to) and delete the white/black around the icon(or any colour you want anyway).If it's more difficult to cut it, you should use Pen Tool.

 

But can you post the icon or send me a pm so I can tell you exactly what to do?

Ok here i give you one as an example.

 

 

 

 

I use them in a dark template so they have to be transparent in order to look nice and not with a white background.

 

Thanks in advance. :)

Well, open up photoshop and click Ctrl+O.Open the png icon you want and then:

 

1) Find this tool -->

2) Click on the white space around the icon once.

3) Hit Delete button.

4) Hit Ctrl+D

5) TaDa! It's ready!

 

Btw here's your icon :

That's the fastest and easier way.Hope I helped you out :)

Yeah the way Blane explained is the easiest one. And this is optional but before you press Delete you could add a 1px Feather. It makes it more "smooth"

[Blane]

Yeah, forgot to mention that...

 

Just before you click delete, click the right click and find where it says "Feather".Press it and change the default value (5 I think) to 1.Then click delete.That's the result:

 

 

Thanks Keron ;)
