How to Make Image Background Transparent (Photoshop)

There are several post I had published on Photoshop trick and today I have come up with another one. In this post I am gonna show how creating an image with transfer background. There are several software for creating image, but nothing better then Photoshop. Almost at version Photoshop has the option to create image with transparent background. In this post I am using Photoshop CS 8.0.

A transparent image is such an image which has no background color. By default Adobe Photoshop includes the creation of new images with a white background. But if you are planning to make a multi-layer image, or if you want to create a transparent PNG image or logo, then it is better to create on a transparent background. On the other hand transparent background also reduce the size of the image.

If you make an image with transparent background then only the image or logo will be displayed. There will be no background of that image. If you place the logo in a black color, background will be black. If you place it on red color, background will be red. That means if you place any transparent logo on a color, the background will take that color. Okay now see the below image and follow the steps to make image background transparent...

• First run your Photoshop.
• Then press Ctrl+N and choose Height, Width & Resolution as you want.
• Then is the Background Contents section Select Transparent.
• Finally press Enter.

Now you will get transparent layer as shown in the image above. It looks like grid. Whatever you draw or write here, it will be transparent.

You must save the transparent Image in PNG format. Otherwise transparency will be disappeared. To save the image in PNG format follow the below steps...

• Press Ctrl+Shift+S for Save As.
• Then type your image name and select PNG in the format option.
• Finally click on Save button.

Now write or draw anything in this transparent layer and save it as PNG file, it will have no background color. But if you paste any image or logo which have a background color on this transparent background, it will appear in the saved file. In that case your picture will not be transparent. You should erase the unnecessary part or color of your image so that you can better result of the transparent background. Make sure that the new layers are always at the top of the Transparent background layer.
