Photoshop Question Created 20 years ago2004-03-16 23:58:34 UTC by davideo59

HEY, I know alot of yall use photoshop (This message is directed to worldcraft man cause he did exactly what I wanted to do) lol. I dont wanna steal your avatars, but how do I cut out a pic in it. Cause' im makin something in flash (im a pro yall) and I wanna put some cutom images on but when there's a bground thats how it looks in flash, and and and - just tell me how to cut out a picture

Well it depends what you mean. I use photoshop, to cut I use the select tool (the image pretty much has to have all it's layers flattened) and just simply Ctrl + C, to paste Ctrl + V... Thats what I would do, but I aint really to sure about what it is you are asking

Flash isnt pro.
Anyways, use the magic wand tool, good for removing backgrounds :
Also, its very easy to learn

well I know about that and I used that to make the background "transparent" or so I thought... But when I imported it into flash there was still a white background that makes the picture look bad. Maybe flash and photoshop just dont work together . (I wasnt sayin flash was pro I was saying that I am good at flash)

Example of what I am saying. My icon, the motorcycle. Say I wanted to import that into flash, ONLY the motor cycle not the other stuff. I may be able to use the magic wand tool or manually make a selection box to get rid of it, but when I import it (Copy and Paste) it into flash, there is a white background box where the old background would be. It looks crapy if they are supossed to be driving on a dirt path and there is a white box around it where the old bground would be :

If its a simple design(no flashy stuff, not a photo), try modify>trace bitmap and make some settings(dont know them), then delete the bg.

no!!!! the most nooboie ways
crtl-alt-x the line the piece you want in green, then fill it with the fill tool and pres preview

Hey I like peppers way thats what im used to, but I need to know how to copy ONLY the dude I wanna paste in not the background, cause otherwise when I copy/paste it into flash there is a white bground behind it! Ugh this is terribly confusin! Like say there is a circle, but I copy it in the form of a square cause thats what the window of Photoshop is shaped in, so when I paste it into other programs I have all the stuff in the square outside of the circle with it. And I cant just select each individual part of the pic with the wand cause its a preety complex pic...

you'd be better off looking for photoshop help on a photoshop page.

hmm, use path tool an make a selection off it wiht the right mouse button. should help you

oh common man! its still not working, look how it looks in flash!

then what is the prob

MO DI FY - TRACE BITMAP
