[photoshop-beginners] help please! : ) .eps file in photoshop

Hi,

I have an .eps file; I opened it in photoshop. I want the 'inside' of the logo (let's say it's a square) to be for ex: white.

And then I want to save it as a .png file and import it into a site I'm building in Dreamweaver to use as the logo.

 

I am new to this, and I know I'm doing something wrong.

 

I opened it in Photoshop, and I tried to use the paint bucket tool to fill the 'inside' of the square white, and then I saved for web and devices as a .png file and then imported it on the logo spot in Dreamweaver.

 

Problem: it seems to still 'take on' some of the grayish background that is 'behind' it from the 'header' area (ie the header area is grayish) and I just want the inside of the square logo to be white. I don't want the entire header to be white though; I just want to put this logo with the white background on top of the header area.

 

Why is it taking on the gray background?

Is this the correct way to edit an .eps file in photoshop?

When I open it in photoshop, the layer doesn't say 'background', it just says layer one.

 

What am I doing wrong!? 

 

I'm very new to this, but if I had to guess (?) it seems to be keeping some sort of 'transparency' quality?

 

Help!  ; )

Thanks!

denise
