A great tutorial, however the title is misleading as it's so much more than removing the white background. It's also separating colours into easily editable layers. Which is why it feels like a long-winded way to remove a white background. Jesus Ramirez is a Photoshop legend!
Rebecca, you're right about that. I could have attached the mask to the original logo and called it a day. I figured that also showing that separating colors would be useful 🤷♂️
@@PhotoshopTrainingChannel It is very useful. Especially for textile designers who have to colour separate pattern designs into spot colours :-) (Although I think a lot of them use Illustrator)
Where can I get a tutorial on this simpler version? I get so lost on this after the 4-minute mark--it goes so fast there are somehow steps I'm missing. I need a step-by-step for every little step, and much slower so I don't miss things.
Yeah big time, that was cool... I normally combine channels using calculations, that way you can set a blending mode as well, very handy for making masks.
Awsome technique! You really are a photoshop professor Jesus. Thanks for sharing. During lockdown i followed hundred or hours of photoshop pro tutorials about masking, adjustment layers, blend if (all zones), color range and luminosity masking. Its easier for me to follow these tutorials now. Love it.
As always you do it elegantly and explain it in easy to follow steps, thank you. To those who comment and say it's not how I would do it because it's to complicated or I would do it in Illustrator, why are you watching if you know so much then start your own channel and share your knowledge.
This is very helpful, way better than playing with the tolerance of the magic wand or color range. What I really want to see next is converting this to a vector image so it can be scaled up for large print.
What if the colors aren't completely separate like this logo? I only have two colors: a yellow and a black. The black is basically serving as an artistic outline over the yellow. So, I can't easily just paint over the black to leave only the yellow. Maybe there's a separate way to isolate the black stuff and then layer it over the yellow?
I tried so many other guides but this was the easiest and the most effective! I managed to make a pretty cool logo for a friend of mine, thanks so much!
I got so confuse at "Adding Color To The Logo". When you started separating the colors you did an example with gray over the branch; things weren't clear as to how you added all the other colors? So I select a color, press ctrl, and click on the layer mask to load it as a selection; then I made a new [solid layer] color filled on top of the clicked layer and with a brush tool I paint with black over layer mask things that shouldn't be the selected color. Currently trying but its not coming out quite the way you have it. perhaps more examples would help. Thank you so much for the video.
I am always amazed by what you show us (I do have to watch multiple times before it soaks in because you use tools that I'm not used to) but I learn so much when I watch. Thank you.
thankyou, all worked well as i followed the instructions but you didn't address the jagged edges that occur in a jpeg image - how to get rid of these please.
I love your videos, and every time I watch your videos I learn something new! I am not a professional designer and I just started exploring photoshop recently. I am in nowhere to judge, but I think this is not the easiest way to remove the white background. For me, I would use the color range selection method. This will be the first thing I use!
Yes I literally was doing this and happened to see this video pop in and it left white edges around the letters doing it that way. I'm looking forward to trying it with channels.
Assuming you did not need to isolate the individual colors, once you had the mask created couldn't you also just use that mask to remove the background from a copy of the original image? And I assume you would also smooth the jagged edges, correct?
My biggest Problem at the moment is to know which technique i have to use because for example , there are many different ways to cut out an image , what technique should I use to change colors and if i go deeper in that it feels like there are like 10 different ways to change hair color or 10 different ways to change a specific color. At the moment its hard for me to determine which technique is in this special situation the best to use. Got any tipps?
😂 The one that comes to mind first! j/k It's hard. Sometimes is trial-and-error. Or you have experience with a certain type of image and you can anticipate problems and decide on a technique that will solve those issues. Other times it depends on the output. For example, if it's an Instagram photo you could decide on techniques that are less precise but faster to complete since IG will not benefit from the extra detail. Other times it could depend on the work environment. For example, in this tutorial, I could have used the selection to mask the original logo, and it would have looked OK. But I was pretending that I was in a work environment where I had colleagues that were also using the file (thus the labeling), and a potential client who would ask for changes (thus the solid color fill layers). It all comes with experience. For now, I would say to focus on understanding how a technique works and to learn the principles behind it. Hopefully, you will be able to apply those principles to problems when you come across them.
Could you do a tutorial on how you would flatten the pixelated logo? like, is there an easy way in photoshop to make it smoother? Or are you forced to "redraw" it in illustrator?
@@PhotoshopTrainingChannel and would the re-creation of such a logo be easier for you with that given JPG/PNG as a base, or would be start from the scratch? What I'm trying to get to is: lets assume the logo looks promising so far and the client needs this as a vector-image for reasons. can you simply "overdraw" the shapes. Thank you
Depends on the logo and the file you have. If you have a hi-res jpeg and the logo is fairly simple without text you can probably get away with Illustrator's Image Trace. If you're working with a low-res logo and a lot of text you might have to trace parts of with the pen tool and use the same/similar font to recreate the text. I hope this helps
Yes! I need a much slower version of this video with the steps broken down even more after the 4-minute mark. It goes so fast I missed steps and I have no idea where I went wrong.
This is excellent. I was looking for something else but watched the entire video and will keep it in mind the next time I need to do that. I also Subscribed. Thank you.
Could you do it by just using the select color tool and then just deleting out the white. I mean not the cleanest way but would be a "Neanderthal" quick way no?
Hey Jesus, I think using the color range and expand selection can help modify the mask of those solid color layers quickly instead of using brush tool to paint on the areas

I couldn't even remove the white background... How's this easy?!
That trick to combine channels is amazing. I never thought about it. Thank you so much, Jesús!
You're welcome, Valdair!
Yeah big time, that was cool... I normally combine channels using calculations, that way you can set a blending mode as well, very handy for making masks.
Never fail to impress, always learning something new on your channel. Great work!
Thank you!
I don't think you should ask whether we learned something or not ...we always learns from you 😁😁😁
Thank you, Alphin!
Didn't complete the steps, but it was resolved.
Thanks million times
Easily explained as usual Jesus, many thanks.
You're welcome, Juan!
I’ve been watching his videos for so long. He always used the hardest or advance method of doing anything. He amazing though.
Love your tutorials thank you, clear and concise but question, please is there anyway we could slow down your speaking speed?
I'll try to speak slower in the future. But you can slow the video down from the TH-cam controls if you like.

Thank you, Primal Edge! Happy New Year
subscribed and clicked on bell icon after watching this video, many thanks, please, for sharing
Thank you!
Your Tutorial, It's Really Awesome!
And here I am, clicking white area with magic wand and hitting delete key.
In some cases that can work. Lol but the edges will need work.
@@PhotoshopTrainingChannel just copy the layer and adjust level to make it black. use magic wand and delete white background. it work every time.
@@mukesh13024 You can't make the edges perfect by doing this if your image is of low quality
Also, if your logo has a gradient that fades to white this method will not work at all. But the channels one will.
Can you make one for me 🙏 please ..I don't have laptop and pc ...
I would like to be a master in photoshop and I guess that this is possible with Jesus's classes!! Thanks a lot!! Love ya!
Thank you very much...I have been looking forward to learn this.. and I got every step 😊😊
WOW ! I'm speechless. This is so good
Thank you!
I use select > color range
but this way is solve cleaning way of edges !!! amazing !!!
thank you so so so much for sharing

Color range could work. But it requires much more fine tuning. The edges are already well defined by the channels. Just take advantage of them.
Yes I literally was doing this and happened to see this video pop in and it left white edges around the letters doing it that way. I'm looking forward to trying it with channels.
@@DigitalDesignsbyPJ I hope it helps!
2021 fantastic gift
Ecellent! I have fogotten how to aply channels. You are a great teacher.I want to back and make videos! I am only so terrible unsure .
Thank you, sir! This was an excellent tutorial. It was so easy to follow!
Assuming you did not need to isolate the individual colors, once you had the mask created couldn't you also just use that mask to remove the background from a copy of the original image? And I assume you would also smooth the jagged edges, correct?
That would work fine, Richard. In some cases you might need to contract the mask to avoid edge halos. But it should work.
wait - how did you get the pixelated edges to smooth/crisp edges?
It's very helpful but little long process but I liked it
Great tutorial but why couldnt we use blend if to remove the white background
thank you.
Thanks you
Thank you, Ali!
Thanks a lot

@@PhotoshopTrainingChannel thanks for your answer, it helped me. I will do as you suggested and yeah you are right most of it is experience 👍😁
Hi! Thank you for this tutorial! I like very much that logo. Is it possible to buy it or use it?
Not good for simple stuff you have to do, but very informative. Not sure why this is the first google result.
Could you do a tutorial on how you would flatten the pixelated logo? like, is there an easy way in photoshop to make it smoother? Or are you forced to "redraw" it in illustrator?
Without re-creating it the next option would be to use the Neural filters to remove jpeg compression artifacts
@@PhotoshopTrainingChannel and would the re-creation of such a logo be easier for you with that given JPG/PNG as a base, or would be start from the scratch?

sir i like your tutriols but this time i think this is a very long setup for selection
This tutorial is all over the place
i don't even know what i just watched.
My only complaint is that he speeds through the last few steps. He starts out nice and slow and easy to follow.
Yes! I need a much slower version of this video with the steps broken down even more after the 4-minute mark. It goes so fast I missed steps and I have no idea where I went wrong.
Thanks 👍 you 💞 too
Wow, that was easy to follow. I learned a lot. You got my subscription. Hope to Learn more
As always, you always explained it *VERY WELL AND THROUGH*
I learned a lot from your channel.
Thank you so much, Sir 😊
You're welcome, Angga!
How exactly did this make the background transparent?
This is very helpful...thank you
I'm missing the icon to create a new solid color fill layer at the bottom right.
This is excellent. I was looking for something else but watched the entire video and will keep it in mind the next time I need to do that. I also Subscribed. Thank you.
Absolutely Great Job... Really Appreciated your work... Thumbs Up JR 👍
thanks!

Please do more Copycat Wednesday as well!
Could you do it by just using the select color tool and then just deleting out the white. I mean not the cleanest way but would be a "Neanderthal" quick way no?
Definitely a quick way, but not the cleanest as you say. The edges will not look very good.
Amazing! Wanted to know how to do this for a very long time. Thanks
Always appreciate your content!
Thanks
Thanks for the video. Anyway you could make a video on the best method to enlarge the logo or add effects?
How about with very complex color mixture?
This is the best tutorial .. helped me a lot. A billion Thank you
Thanks again
You're welcome!
Happy New Year ! Jesus, thanks...
Hey Jesus, I think using the color range and expand selection can help modify the mask of those solid color layers quickly instead of using brush tool to paint on the areas
Yeah, after making the initial channel pull, you could use color range and expand the selection. That would work.
Thank you very much !
