Lots going on here.


First, your file is currently set to Indexed Color, which disables many Photoshop features. Open your PNG file and go to Image>Mode>RGB Color. This changes it to RGB mode.

Next, your logo layer defaults to a locked Background layer, so you need to convert it to a normal layer. Two ways:

  1. Duplicate your layer and then delete the bottom Background layer.
  2. Or, go to Layer>New>Layer from Background.

Lastly, the image you attached does not, in fact, have a transparent background. It has the checkerboard background that makes it appear as if it's transparent, but it isn't. It's possible that your image is transparent but what you've attached here is a screenshot with a background, so first try this (once you've done the steps above):

  • Open a new layer and move it below your logo layer.
  • Fill this new layer with any color you like. This new color should now show through.
  • If it does not, then you'll need a layer mask on your logo layer to carefully erase the checkerboard background and establish true transparency.


What is our favorite program/app? (Hint - it begins and ends with the letter P)
