11 years old and still the only one I found that was so clear!!! Good job.

[@TheAngiered]

Thank you sooooooo much...very easy to follow and understand. I just bought this program and have NO idea how to do anything, and was able to do this following your instruction :)

[@mahmoud82004]

Saying thank you to someone who show you something meaningful is been thankful in life. So Thank you for the tutorial.

[@shanesmaineshop]

Thank you so much, I have been watching several videos trying to do this and yours was straight forward and easy to follow. Can't thank you enough.

[@Bunefoo401]

Great tutorial ... I remove backgrounds so rarely, I never remember how to do it, your instructions very clear to understand. Thanks!

[@kimburgy9687]

Thank you,
You explained this so well in easy to follow steps.

[@purevoicepowercoaching7602]

Thank you for teaching it in slow, understandable terms. The image I was trying to make into round .png had a diffused shadow and selecting a clean circle with no shadow too me about 4 attempts. I tried different tools.

[@williamvingoe8942]

Very comprehensive tutorial! Thank you!

@6:33 you can delete either by hitting delete key on your keyboard or by going to the top menu and going Edit>Delete.

Skip to minute 5 when the tutorial actually starts. Could have squeezed this into 60 secs instead of 12 mins.

[@visualbroccoli]

After hearing the comments I made a much shorter tutorial that gets to the heart of removing the background much faster (like 5 minutes faster) Thanks for the feedback. th-cam.com/video/Ew-kz7CHg9o/w-d-xo.html

[@amydyson3730]

Thank you for the very clear video! I was able to do most of what I needed. Now I have to figure out how to change the color of the logo font. I'll check out your other videos. Thank you!

[@Mohairp53]

After you performed multiple selections of the white area using the Shift key, Sorry, I listened to it a few times. I was NOT able to hear how you display it in transparent mode ? Can you please show me what you click/select to display it in transparency mode ?

[@annerlyse]

Thank you so much for this! I didn't want to draw anymore because I couldn't make it how I wanted it so now I am back into it. Thank you so so so so much!!! :D :D

[@defurry]

John- I'm trying to make a logo file transparent in PS Elements 6 and place it over an image in Quark. I've followed your instructions and everything works exactly like you have in your tutorial, but it still shows up with a white background once I place the file in Quark (v. 6.5). The original file is a logo created using type in Quark and saved as an EPS file. Any thoughts as to why I'm having trouble? Thanks.

[@marco9bear]

thank you for posting this video , i am still using Elements 8 :)

[@azstarbitch]

you did great you helped out alot i learned more theen what i did in school thanks -azstar

[@defurry]

Then my last question is, does Elements 6 allow me to create a clipping path? Or do I need the full version?

[@visualbroccoli]

DC, I would agree with you. Thanks for the feedback.

[@annettebassett9810]

Loved it GOOG JOB

[@visualbroccoli]

Hmm. That sounds odd. What version of Quark are you using? It looks like in older versions of Quark that the program does not support transparencies.

[@calvinjackson538]

Is saving it to a png file the ONLY way to preserve the transparency?

[@visualbroccoli]

I am not an expert in with Quark, I know this technique works with Indesign. I did a quick search and found a forum on your issue: "quark 6.5 does not support transparent import unless you use a clipping path in photoshop and save as EPS, or TIF from photoshop, this however does mean you can only have sharp edges, not feathered." TH-cam does not allow me send a link in a response.

[@stephenwain7970]

So easy - thank you

[@plumbum]

Thanks so much!! this helped me a LOT!! Thank you so much

[@rikkaboo902]

[@cathleenburnham2795]

Hi! This didn't address removing the transparent pixels from an image. I'm trying to apply a round image to a T-shirt, but the transparent pixels turn out white. I googled "remove transparent pixels in Photoshop Elements" and your video turned up. In Photoshop, I would go to Image -- Trim, but Elements does not have that option. Anyone provide some help? Thanks!

[@lisaowens5070]

I'm sorry to have to ask this, but I need the beginner course, you know, like kindergarten for adults...I am unfamiliar with the lingo or what the tools do. I need to get the background off the photos...that's all I needed. I wonder if there are adults such as myself who didn't grow up with technology and require the same type of education (simple language, don't backtrack on your sentences, etc.)

[@snowbergstream1636]

How can i turn off the subtitles?

[@KingAdmin]

name of this PS please :)

Get to the point quicker with less gibberish.

[@KEEVVY]

The new adobe it's very hard to use, I can even use gimp better

[@meepandpro5172]

any one know how to remove the transparency back ground?

[@enterthegame2692]

put a background, just add a colored layer underneath the logo layer

[@OK43playsminecraft]

I like brocily

[@niggarjy]

this way won't work with complex pics

[@aidensullivan9403]

i luv u

[@visualbroccoli]

Can you email me? You can go tot Visual Broccoli and go to contact and I can send you instructions.

[@WhitbyStuff]

Yep. That's a lot of time wasted in getting to the point.
