Ugh...bad memories. when I was in college one of my "friends" stole my term paper from my car the day it was due. I had to beg the professor for an extension, he eventually gave me TWO days to finish a paper and research that had taken two months, and then said "But I won't give you anything higher than a C no matter how good it is."
Mmm...hmmmm...still bitter about that one.
Nice job Billy ;-)
Hey Billy,
I have an image on Photoshop that has a blue background. How can I replace the blue with a transparent background?
KV yes but in order for it to remain transparent it has to be saved as a photoshop file. When you save it as a JPEG it has a default white background.
That's fine. I'll keep it as a photoshop file. So how do I do it?
You can use the magic wand tool and select the blue. You can use the select color option. Or my personal favorite you can use the pen tool.
How big is the image? If it is under 2megs send it to me and I will attempt the surgery myself.
I'm about to send you an email in a few hours Billy. Thanks!
lol...this is great! i love that my comment section has become a chat room! How awesome.
Oh the memories... 199(shhhh). I used my friend's computer. Naive' me didn't know one was supposed to save as you go... a 15 page paper. 3:30 am. Must be a popular hour for total defeat!
Fortunately, I knew that if the paper was C- or below, I could do a re-write. So... I went back to my "able to correct one line at a time" typewriter and pounded out 15 pages of disconnected garbage until 8. Funny thing, I got a C- (it was F worthy I thought), and was able to rewrite the whole thing. I got an A-, but would have bee an A if it hadn't been a rewrite!
Billy you did an amazing job. Thank you soooo much. I owe you one!
HG,
thanks for hosting this chat room ;-)
