    How to turn borders of clip-art into transparent pixels?

    Yep, I think that's a good evaluation/epilogue on what this was actually all about Alfie. (@moderators: feel free to change the subject title, tags, or whatever to make things more clear or useful to others) While I wouldn't be too concerned about the blacks of the source image being fully...

    How to turn borders of clip-art into transparent pixels?

    Ah yes, that's a great suggestion. 'Actions' is indeed something that I'm usually not even considering or thinking of, and yet it can be very helpful. Just out of interest on the technicalities behind the screens of both solutions that we now have (which I am not afraid to say, neither I really...

    How to turn borders of clip-art into transparent pixels?

    Thanks guys! Now I was able got this approach to work too. And it indeed does exactly what I have been asking for. So now I (we) have two solutions to tackle this ;-) (I'm probably going to stick to the first one that I mentioned earlier, since that one is probably just easier for me to remember)

    How to turn borders of clip-art into transparent pixels?

    Ah yes, sorry for that. I have a habit of running my png's through PNGGauntlet before posting them on fora. (saving some space) But that probably also changes them to 'indexed color'. So I shouldn't do that when posting images here... When I try to follow your instructions, I can't get it...

    How to turn borders of clip-art into transparent pixels?

    Thanks thebestcpu I'm going to take a short break from all this, but I'll take a look at your solution and report back somewhere this weekend. Cheers!

    How to turn borders of clip-art into transparent pixels?

    Not sure how you could have interpreted anything I said as unkind. I was only giving my honest opinion on the results that your screenshots showed. Which in both cases were clearly not so good. And I have thanked everyone that made the effort to answer and reply to this thread. Also, 'the...

    How to turn borders of clip-art into transparent pixels?

    ?? That's really ugly and pixelated. You would get the same result when simply using the magic wand on the inner black part of the dog and delete the rest? It would also not work on the andromeda image example? Am I missing something here?

    How to turn borders of clip-art into transparent pixels?

    Sure. Little doggie (at 400%): Andromeda original (flat, greyscale) Andromeda transformed to transparent: overlayed over red background:

    How to turn borders of clip-art into transparent pixels?

    Eureka, I finally found what seems to be the perfect solution for this. - Open your image, make sure it is in Greyscale. - Go to the Channels panel. - Hold Ctrl / Cmd and left-click the Gray channel to make a selection. - Press Shift + Ctrl / Cmd + I to inverse the selection. - Go to the Layers...

    How to turn borders of clip-art into transparent pixels?

    I indeed am, and this will work for what I am using this for. But I now also realise that this solution does not make possible how I described it in posts of mine, namely that you would be able to select the to-transparency-converted layer, copy it, and use it for simply pasting it on other...

    How to turn borders of clip-art into transparent pixels?

    It does work perfectly for the small image that I am doing my testing on now. (I've been trying and editing so much stuff today that it might be slightly different from what I posted in the beginning, not sure, brain has been getting fried a bit)

    How to turn borders of clip-art into transparent pixels?

    OK I wasn't thinking of locking the thread though (not a fan of that either), but I thought it might be useful for users that scroll through topics to see in the title if it was already solved.

    How to turn borders of clip-art into transparent pixels?

    Not for me, multiply also works perfectly on the small doggie for me too. Should I add 'solved' to the topic title? (if that even can be done by me)

    How to turn borders of clip-art into transparent pixels?

    Holy you know what! That works! I don't understand what that does exactly, but it's amazingly simple and works great, so I probably should go and learn more about it ;-) Thanks IamSam! (and the others putting their teeth into it)

    How to turn borders of clip-art into transparent pixels?

    Thanks, that is something that I had indeed stumbled upon and tried. But I was unable to get the result as described. Can you confirm that by using that technique you have managed to get the exact result as I described using the white and red andromeda images? Perhaps I have been doing something...
