Hi Gurus,

can anyone help me find a easy way to make transparent of colored pictures, I usually do the manual lasso tool and took me a decade to finish my project. I hope somebody help me. attached is the sample pictures.

Thank you and appreciate all your help;)

Hello Sophia and welcome to PSG.

The image you posted above is very small and low resolution. Any selection made from this would be very pixelated. Do you have a higher resolution version of this image?

Hi Sam,

Thank you for your reply. unfortunately this is the kind of pictures i have that's why I'm having difficulties to make this transparent by using magic wand, I have to manually use the lasso tool. :cry:

Yeah...........your very limited in what you can use to make your selections on an image this small.

I created a hand made layer mask with the Brush Tool. It's a slower but effective technique.
When I was done I used the defringe function to remove the remaining blue edge.
