Specific Remove red background and make symbols as clear as possible

[Igiloca]

Hi everyone!

I've been trying to remove the red background from these pictures and make the background transparant, but i can't seem to make it work. No matter how hard i try, there are always a few red-ish pixels left. Also, is there a possiblity to enhance the quality of the symbols?
Thank you very very much in advance!!

do you have the origianl images, this can be done using the eraser tool, intricate slow work. theres gaps in the images so causing the flooding.

easy enough just to get a image off google or is this the specific image you want to use?

Never use the eraser for this type or any type of work. Layer mask always.

I agree.....................Never use the Erasure Tool! Layer masking is the correct and non-destructive way to isolate/remove backgrounds.

even if slow work???zoom in, delete

Thank you very much! But there are still red pixels surrounding the image. That's the problem that I couldn't solve myself actually. Is there no way that those pixels can be removed?

Hi! Thank you for responding! It's those specific 2 images that I need. If not, Google would indeed have sufficed.

Hi! No I do not have the original digital images. That's kind of the problem...

Yes, that is the problem having both low resolution, low quality, and saved as very compressed JPEG. Very difficult to recover from.
Here is my shot at it and enlarged yet some of the details are removed. The red background was bleeding into all the edges and to make it reasonable I eliminated all the small framishes.
Hope this helps

ADDED EDIT: I forgot to turn off the white background Layer so I updated with background as transparent. Also added original size corrected image

It's a lot better than my attempt, thanks! Is it too much to ask if you also have time to do the other image? Either way, I'm already very thankful!

Here is the teapot large size then small size

I am assuming that virtually all the red in the image was assuming reflections from the surroundings so in both posts I turned those to transparency.
Quite the challenge

ADDED EDIT - For this image here was the general flow
- Upsize 6X with Topaz Gigapixel
- Duplicate Layer, Turn to Smart Object and with Camera Raw Filter reduced luminosity of reds and oranges to make it differentiate
- After Camera Raw filter create selection of all red areas then delete the Smart Object
- Make sure bottom Layer is not background Layer and turn selection to Layer Mask
- Use Select and Mask on the Layer to fine tune as desired
- Add Hue Saturation Layer and choose Red from dropdown and shift remaining red to match the rest of the image
- Save as PNG
- Create reduced size PNG with File > Image Size with bicubic sharper rendering algorithm

Well those were the approximate steps - FYI
