You can save it as a PNG and it will preserve the transparency.

I had forgotten to save it as a gif file so the background could become transparent.  Once I saved it as a gif file and did what Joe said, everything worked out great.  Thanks for all of your help, I appreciate it very much. 

 

It did turn the blue ink into black, is there a way to convert it back into blue?

 

Thanks for all of your help,

 

John D.

Thanks Joe, but it is not a black signature, it is in a blue ink.  I did try it but when I go to select/color range/highlights I hit delete but I still have the dotted lines swirling around it and the signature has faded somewhat.  How do I clear the dotted lines? 

 

Thanks

black signature on white background?  Open image and go to select/color range/highlights.  This should select all the white.  Hit delete and you should have your signature on a transparent background.  got a little fringe around the black?  go to layer/matting/defringe (1 pixel)

The best way I have found to remove the white on a logo is  open logo and unlock the layer. pull up the blending options and more the white slider to the left. To remove the white fringe, hold down alt on a pc and continue dragging half the white slider fruther to the left. Drag just until the blackest part of the logo becomes sllightly transparent and then back off a little. Add a new empty layer below the one we have been working on. Selet the originall layer and merge down..do not flatten.                          Nancy H.                                                                                                                                                                &nbs p;                                                                                                                                                                  ;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   & nbsp;

I am wondering if this is the same idea as to cutting out hair in a photo.  I have my signature scanned that I use in doc. and other materials I use but it is on a white background.  I need to make the background transparent but it seems the pen used has many areas that the background will not clear on. 

Will this tutorial bring the signature out of the background or is there another way to bring just the signature out of that background?

Thanks,

John Donovan
