In this tutorial we will be combining these images to come up with the third, and final image. |
||
Begin with your images opened up in your program. | ||
Make sure the template window is highlighted and go to selections>>select all | ||
With the template selected go to edit>>copy | ||
Now, you need to make sure that your background color is set to the right color for transparency. This is wrong: | ||
Click on the wrong color and choose this color: | ||
Once you have the right color as your background color it should look like this: | ||
Now, highlight the image you're going to put the template over, and go to edit>>paste>>as transparent selection | ||
Once the template is pasted on, move it so it's in the right spot for you. | ||
Now, select the template along with the picture which has now been placed into the template. | ||
Edit>>Copy and then Edit>>Paste>>as new image | ||
Now you've got your icon! Here's how I do transparency. Select the magic wand tool and click on the white area of the template. | ||
Go to selections>>modify>>select similar. | ||
Now we have all of the white that we want transparent highlighted.. Now go to selections>>invert and then copy and paste as a new image | ||
There is your transparent icon using a template! GREAT JOB!  perfectsquare | ||
