Hi everyone. I am just trying to place a logo which I found off the net into an illustrator design for a business card. The logo is simply a Diamond but it is in a white square, somewhat of a background to the image. Now I have saved the picture as…..from IE and then opened it in photoshop to try and remove the white background, with no avail. I also tried simply copying and pasting it and still has the white square around it. There is no problem with the fill of the actual image, it is just the white square I want rid of so I can place the image only onto a blue background. THank you for your help. I have both Photoshop CS3 and Illustrator CS4

In photoshop click the “Magic Wand” tool then click on the white background. There will be a selection marquee around the white area. Now press delete.
You can also press “W” on the keyboard as a shortcut to the magic wand. If it’s selecting part of the diamond too then you need to change the “tolerance” to a lower number. The tolerance can be found near the top.
EDIT: ThatGirl is right about .GIF and .TIF preserving transparency. .PNG also preserves transparency with lossless quality though i’m not sure about using it with illustrator since I never use it.
I agree with Zomblee’s answer, but also make sure you save the new file as either a .GIF or .TIF. Those are the only file formats that will preserve the transparency as well place in Illustrator.
