I'd appreciate that ;)

I can't believe I'm having this hard of a time with a transparent image. lol

edit: meh wurds wuz mezzid ub....
heh.. nope, that *is* the logo, scanned from one of the sheets provided to me. Same logo on everything, and he wants that logo on the site also. I just want to make it look like it's supposed to.. :) it looks good on a white bg, but he wants a faded background image, so that's where the transparent gif comes in .. :)

magic wand is your friend. use it to select as much of the image as possible. hold shift and continue clicking to ad more to the selection. then control+shift+i to invert the selection, then hit delete.

then zoom in to 1600percent, and delete as many white pixels as you can.. zoom out to see what it looks like..

I assume your photoshop 6? 7?

the gif 89a export tool was dropped a while back, use "Save for Web" on the file menu, choose GIF as the file format.. and check 'Transparency'.

I could just give you the fix I made.. but then I'd have to charge.. say... $85-100 USD.. pm for paypal info if your interested :D

but whoever he orders those letterheads and business cars from has the good copy :) i had a similar experience to what you are doing now and I had to track down the graphics company on my own :) if you can find who does thier printing, show them what you are doing and they will likely be happy to help

on another note, if thats the scan it musta been really tiny to begin with :Q

I don't know why you think that? It was a normal size..

? My scanner isn't the greatest quality, and the V was a little pixelized, so I smoothed it out, and re-wrote the rest of the word myself (same font). but it's the same size...
