Need a Photoshop genius...

[Heather inOC]

I need a portion of a floorplan in a PDF to be modified, but my photoshop skills are limited. If you're a wiz, can you please e-mail me and I'll send you the file with what needs to be done? I really just need to make it transparent, so that I can place it on top of another photo. Not too hard huh? I'm a dork though.

Thanks!!

Easy, Open the file in photoshop.

double click on it in the layerspallette to make sure its not locked or a background.

Use your magic wand tool (or press w) then select a white part of the floorplan.

then goto the select tab and then similar. that should select anything that is white.

then hit the backspace button or delete.



HOPEFULLY THIS HELPS...

In my version of PS, PS CS (8.0), when you open a PDF file, the background is already transparent.



However, if it opens with a background, follow the above advice; additionally, if you need the file to remain transparent outside of Photoshop, you must save the file as a GIF.
