is there anyway i can remove one colour from an image in photoshop?

ie say i want all the white from an image removing allowing for transparency to take its place.

This would make what im trying to do at the moment a lot easier...

Cheers

i dont know of an actual option to remove a specific color from the image

however, u can do it manually using the magic wand tool.

I think one of the layer styles might be able to do it... but I'm not sure and since I don't have PS on the computer I am on at the moment, otherwise I would figure it out. I'll try to figure it out tonight unless someone else comes up with the answer

would be a bloody good option if it did exist. would make some vectors so much easier...

Hmm... I'll work on finding out this tonight for you and see if I can find a solution for you

Theres a way to do this, I remember it cause I needed it but I can't quite get the name right.

Its on the top under Image.

its simple....Go to Select-->Color Range --> and teh use the dialogue that pops up to select the colors you want! That will select them for you, and then just mask or delete them!

I second on the "Select Color Range" option. It works OK usually, but in complicated images it may not deliver satisfactory results. Manual may be the best way to go if you have to time.

true, but it should be okay for vector images, and if its a bit complicated you can set the "Fuzziness" really low and it will be more accurate. but yes, its always more accurate to manually select your images , but it does take time.
