Hello all,
I would be very grateful to anyone who can help me with what seems should be simple.
There is a colored circle on a white background (pre-existing image; not one I created), and I'd like to use the circle only without any background.
I've tried using the background eraser, and the magic eraser tools, but can't seem to get rid of the white bacground (it still shows up white on my website) despite the fact that when I erase it, it does show a transparent background.
Perhaps my inablilty to do this has to do with the fact that the one layer that exists says background and is locked, but I copied it onto a new layer which is UNlocked, but I still can't get it to work!
I also tried the extract tool, but somehow couldn't get all of the pixels to erase (most, but not all), and now I can't even access the extract tool! It's just not listed in the Image>Mode menu.
Please, please help!!!
