1. Re: How to convert an entire specific color into transparent area?
Barbara B. Feb 7, 2012 5:04 PM (in response to DavidW7)You will need to double click the background layer in the layers panel to convert it to a regular layer. Then you can erase or select and delete whatever you want and get transparency instead. Save in a format that supports transparency like tiff or psd and don't flatten the image.

2. Re: How to convert an entire specific color into transparent area?
DavidW7 Feb 7, 2012 6:07 PM (in response to Barbara B.)Thanks so much - it worked!.
I than run into another problem: The color of what was left is blue. I than tried to copy and paste that result onto another picture. It worked OK but that blue became BLACK in the new combind picture. Any idea how to preserve original colors when pasting one picture onto another?
Thanks,
David

Barbara B. Feb 7, 2012 6:19 PM (in response to DavidW7)Well, if both images are in the same color space there shouldn't be any change.

DavidW7 Feb 7, 2012 6:43 PM (in response to Barbara B.)The one I made it mosly transparent with little left in blue was saved as .PSD 100% (layer 0, RGB/8). The second one into which I try to paste the first one is .JPG 100% (gray/8#). Can I convert any of them (or both) into a common color space and which color space would you recomend would you recommend?

Barbara B. Feb 7, 2012 6:45 PM (in response to DavidW7)You're pasting a colored image into a black and white one. That's what the "gray" means= grayscale image. If you want to keep the color, change the color mode for the new background image to RGB (image>mode>rgb).

Barbara B. Feb 7, 2012 7:21 PM (in response to DavidW7)You're welcome. Just FYI, any time you combine images the bottom image determines the color mode and resolution for the combined image.
