Change background from white to transparent

[Minouch]

Hello, i have attached the file of my simple work. I have done everything, still only one thing is to change the background color from white to a transparent. All layers are theirs and the work is very simple to understant. I use filter->Render->Cloud and filter->Noise->Add noise for the last layer + setting it to screen option.

I would be happy to explain to me ho to change the background to transparent if possible of course.

Hi hawkeye and thank you for your effort.
I use cs6 but i don't think it matter because it should render the seem result. When i remove the background what happen is that the filter effect act on the entire image and not only on the layers i have created! i don't understand this behavior, i want the screen layer apply only to the layers i have created and not the entire image surface, how to achieve that ?

Hi Minouch,

Try this...........

In the photo below, notice the red rectangle shown in layer 2. This is called a thumbnail.

Step 1 - Red arrow----Hold you Command/Control key and hit (click) the thumbnail. This will make a selection of that layer.

Step 2 - Blue arrow----Hold your Shift key + Command/Control key and hit (click) the thumbnail of this layer. This will add this layers selection to the existing selection(s).

Step 3 - Green arrow----Hold your Shift key + Command/Control key and hit (click) the thumbnail of this layer. This will add this layers text selection to the existing selection(s).

Step 4 - Purple arrow----Hold your Shift key + Command/Control key and hit (click) the thumbnail of this layer. This will add this layers text selection to the existing selection(s).

Step 5 - Yellow arrow----Highlight this layer.



Step 6 - Click the "Add layer mask" button at the bottom.



You should have the logo, with all of the effects on a transparent background.

Turn off or delete the background. Select the layers that you want the effect on and put them into a group. Clip the texture layer to the group.

Here's another way....

With the marquee tool active...

1. Hold down CTRL+SHIFT and click the thumbnails of all text and objects to select the contents.

2. Click layer 3 to make it active and right click in document ... Layer via Copy. Hide layer 3 and background.

To minimize the dark edges along the text and circles, repeat step 1 and do step 2 using the background to make a layer copy with the selection. Hide background.

Save as no-background gif.
