Sam, hi again. I appreciate your concern about the quality of the image, pixels, resolution, etc., but this is not an issue for us. Time is. You see, the image of the Shamrock with the mother-of-pearl is not a photo that is going to be posted on our website or seen by the public. It is only going to be overlaid onto the image of the pick and then sent to the inlay house as a guide or mockup for what we're thinking of. They just want to see the general design we have in mind so that they can work with the materials and begin creating some samples for me to look at. Does this make sense? So the image above is more than adequate for that purpose.


I did have one problem. I took the image of the m-o-p Shamrock and opened it in PS. Then I tried the standard way to remove the black background and make it transparent, so that when I lay it on top of the pick face the background won't show. When I did this using the magic wand and/or the quick select feature, it removed most of the stem and some spots inside the petals.


Below is one I did a while back with a transparent background already in place. I tried to do the mask thing, but I couldn't pull it off.


So to reiterate, the image above is perfect for my purposes except I can't figure out how to remove the black background and make it transparent.


Thanks Once Again,

WTH
