Hi all - first post here. Been using Photoshop for several years but not highly technical in it. I don't even know if this is possible, but I have a logo that has two seperate images in it, overlapping. I would like to seperate the two images wholely. If this can be done, can anyone guide me on the process? Thanks. Image is attached below.

Use the Quick selection tool and use Layer via Cut.. you should be able to separate the House and the curves along with the curves on the sides. CLick on the eye icon on the new layer to hide it.
You should be left with the Yellow tree now. Use the brush and pick the same color on the tree and recreate he areas missing.

Are the two layers separate in the layers palette?
If they are flattened, separating will be tricky but not impossible. Select the top green layers, copy and paste. Unfortunately this will leave holes in the background yellow layer. You will have to manually fill those in.
Seeing as your logo is 2 plain colors, it might actually be easier to do this in Adobe Illustrator instead of Photoshop. Copy your image in Illustrator, use the trace tool to convert to vector, expand to reveal anchor points. Select and move away the green parts. Merge adjoining anchor points to fill in yellow image. The advantage of using Illustrator is you will be creating vector versions of the images.

Thanks, that did the trick. I didn't think it would be simple.
