Default my logo
Hi

I'd like to remove the white background in my logo, does anyone have advice on how I can get rid of it. I would have attached my logo but no matter how small I make it, it just wont upload onto this site. So unfortunately please see my avatar as example of what I'm talking about it, that too is really tiny but hope you get the idea.

Many Thanks

You can do this in some desktop publishing programs. I think Adobe PhotoShop would do this. I actually have a program called Serif PagePlus for desktop pub and it's really a great program (MUCH better than Publisher). But it has a "eyedropper" tool which allows you to make the background of the graphic transparent. I'm sure others will have ideas for you as well!

P.S. - if you'd like to PM me, I'd be happy to pull it into my program and give it a try.

Hi, You could also use Paint, this comes with all PC's I believe if you do not have the other programs suggested and can remove the background color in a similar way.

Hope this helps,
Kim

For best results, I would use Photoshop or an open source alternative called GIMP. You can download and use GIMP totally free. They are the most powerful programs but there will be a steeper learning curve involved. For the time being you might be better to use one of the methods from previous posts. But I do recommend learning the basics of GIMP for future requirements.
