Yeah big time, that was cool... I normally combine channels using calculations, that way you can set a blending mode as well, very handy for making masks.
A great tutorial, however the title is misleading as it's so much more than removing the white background. It's also separating colours into easily editable layers. Which is why it feels like a long-winded way to remove a white background. Jesus Ramirez is a Photoshop legend!
Rebecca, you're right about that. I could have attached the mask to the original logo and called it a day. I figured that also showing that separating colors would be useful 🤷♂️
@@PhotoshopTrainingChannel It is very useful. Especially for textile designers who have to colour separate pattern designs into spot colours :-) (Although I think a lot of them use Illustrator)
Where can I get a tutorial on this simpler version? I get so lost on this after the 4-minute mark--it goes so fast there are somehow steps I'm missing. I need a step-by-step for every little step, and much slower so I don't miss things.
As always you do it elegantly and explain it in easy to follow steps, thank you. To those who comment and say it's not how I would do it because it's to complicated or I would do it in Illustrator, why are you watching if you know so much then start your own channel and share your knowledge.
I got so confuse at "Adding Color To The Logo". When you started separating the colors you did an example with gray over the branch; things weren't clear as to how you added all the other colors? So I select a color, press ctrl, and click on the layer mask to load it as a selection; then I made a new [solid layer] color filled on top of the clicked layer and with a brush tool I paint with black over layer mask things that shouldn't be the selected color. Currently trying but its not coming out quite the way you have it. perhaps more examples would help. Thank you so much for the video.
My biggest Problem at the moment is to know which technique i have to use because for example , there are many different ways to cut out an image , what technique should I use to change colors and if i go deeper in that it feels like there are like 10 different ways to change hair color or 10 different ways to change a specific color. At the moment its hard for me to determine which technique is in this special situation the best to use. Got any tipps?
😂 The one that comes to mind first! j/k It's hard. Sometimes is trial-and-error. Or you have experience with a certain type of image and you can anticipate problems and decide on a technique that will solve those issues. Other times it depends on the output. For example, if it's an Instagram photo you could decide on techniques that are less precise but faster to complete since IG will not benefit from the extra detail. Other times it could depend on the work environment. For example, in this tutorial, I could have used the selection to mask the original logo, and it would have looked OK. But I was pretending that I was in a work environment where I had colleagues that were also using the file (thus the labeling), and a potential client who would ask for changes (thus the solid color fill layers). It all comes with experience. For now, I would say to focus on understanding how a technique works and to learn the principles behind it. Hopefully, you will be able to apply those principles to problems when you come across them.
This is very helpful, way better than playing with the tolerance of the magic wand or color range. What I really want to see next is converting this to a vector image so it can be scaled up for large print.
thankyou, all worked well as i followed the instructions but you didn't address the jagged edges that occur in a jpeg image - how to get rid of these please.
Awsome technique! You really are a photoshop professor Jesus. Thanks for sharing. During lockdown i followed hundred or hours of photoshop pro tutorials about masking, adjustment layers, blend if (all zones), color range and luminosity masking. Its easier for me to follow these tutorials now. Love it.
I've been having this issue fooorrrr-ever - great tut..... - I know there is a way to select a color and make it another color - but I can't seem to find it - I don't want to hand pick the colors because sometimes it's very intricate pieces in the object - any quick tips?
I tried so many other guides but this was the easiest and the most effective! I managed to make a pretty cool logo for a friend of mine, thanks so much!
Could you do a tutorial on how you would flatten the pixelated logo? like, is there an easy way in photoshop to make it smoother? Or are you forced to "redraw" it in illustrator?
@@PhotoshopTrainingChannel and would the re-creation of such a logo be easier for you with that given JPG/PNG as a base, or would be start from the scratch? What I'm trying to get to is: lets assume the logo looks promising so far and the client needs this as a vector-image for reasons. can you simply "overdraw" the shapes. Thank you
Depends on the logo and the file you have. If you have a hi-res jpeg and the logo is fairly simple without text you can probably get away with Illustrator's Image Trace. If you're working with a low-res logo and a lot of text you might have to trace parts of with the pen tool and use the same/similar font to recreate the text. I hope this helps
I followed the steps for a jpg image. I have photoshop 2024, after the invert channels and selection, I selected RGB composite, I had to manually deselect the Blue copy channel when I add a solid layer black, the background selection changed to black probably due to the channels layers, I mean the selection doesn't remain coloured as shown in the video @4:06. How to rectify this or move forward?
What if the colors aren't completely separate like this logo? I only have two colors: a yellow and a black. The black is basically serving as an artistic outline over the yellow. So, I can't easily just paint over the black to leave only the yellow. Maybe there's a separate way to isolate the black stuff and then layer it over the yellow?
I love your videos, and every time I watch your videos I learn something new! I am not a professional designer and I just started exploring photoshop recently. I am in nowhere to judge, but I think this is not the easiest way to remove the white background. For me, I would use the color range selection method. This will be the first thing I use!
Yes I literally was doing this and happened to see this video pop in and it left white edges around the letters doing it that way. I'm looking forward to trying it with channels.
Assuming you did not need to isolate the individual colors, once you had the mask created couldn't you also just use that mask to remove the background from a copy of the original image? And I assume you would also smooth the jagged edges, correct?
I am always amazed by what you show us (I do have to watch multiple times before it soaks in because you use tools that I'm not used to) but I learn so much when I watch. Thank you.
This is excellent. I was looking for something else but watched the entire video and will keep it in mind the next time I need to do that. I also Subscribed. Thank you.
Yes! I need a much slower version of this video with the steps broken down even more after the 4-minute mark. It goes so fast I missed steps and I have no idea where I went wrong.
Very nice video. My one problem is whenever I would attempt to do the "paint" it did not work. It says that I must "rasterize" before proceeding. And I would do that, but it never would work like yours. Any tips?
Hey Jesus, I think using the color range and expand selection can help modify the mask of those solid color layers quickly instead of using brush tool to paint on the areas
My logo is on a white background and is jpeg. I am having trouble with your steps in paths. Is this because the artwork is jpeg? All I want to do is get the transparent checker background so I can place the logo on any background. I I went back into my artwork and used the magnetic selection too and eraser...very time consuming and difficult to be exact. thank you
And here I am using background eraser tool and color range to delete the white background... Imma try this one, thank you, Mr. Ramirez! Btw, have you secure the BurgerTown? (Pun inserted 😀 )
That trick to combine channels is amazing. I never thought about it. Thank you so much, Jesús!
You're welcome, Valdair!

I use select > color range
but this way is solve cleaning way of edges !!! amazing !!!

Too complicated
If you want good results, you have to put in the work! 😉
Try to pause the video while copying the steps.. U will enjoy it.. He delivers more knowledge in less time.. Believe me on that..
@@PhotoshopTrainingChannel You're making a simple process more complicated than it needs to be
Very complicated... Plus no showing of how to make it transparent
My adhd isn't even allowing me to finish the video 😒
I’ve been watching his videos for so long. He always used the hardest or advance method of doing anything. He amazing though.
You are the boss of Photoshop. We want serial training of Photoshop. Please make serial videos of Photoshop.
brother this is the cleanest way i ever saw

Thank you!
And 😂 Nothing. It's just a Ps Easter egg 🥚
Thank you very much...I have been looking forward to learn this.. and I got every step 😊😊
U nail it man 👨 absolutely thumbs up.. Short, well explained and informative.. Love u BOSS
Thank you!
Love your tutorials thank you, clear and concise but question, please is there anyway we could slow down your speaking speed?
I'll try to speak slower in the future. But you can slow the video down from the RUclips controls if you like.
Soooo many steps!!! Unreal!
And here I am, clicking white area with magic wand and hitting delete key.
In some cases that can work. Lol but the edges will need work.
@@PhotoshopTrainingChannel just copy the layer and adjust level to make it black. use magic wand and delete white background. it work every time.
@@mukesh13024 You can't make the edges perfect by doing this if your image is of low quality
Also, if your logo has a gradient that fades to white this method will not work at all. But the channels one will.
Can you make one for me 🙏 please ..I don't have laptop and pc ...

That would work fine, Richard. In some cases you might need to contract the mask to avoid edge halos. But it should work.
How easy would it then be to put a coloured image say like a colour splash image behind so it goes through the logo too?
I am always amazed by what you show us (I do have to watch multiple times before it soaks in because you use tools that I'm not used to) but I learn so much when I watch. Thank you.

Now if we need it to be a vector would it be best to pull into Illustrator or can it be done in Photoshop?
If you want it to redo it, the best way would be Illustrator. But it could be done with vectors in Photoshop if you didn't have Illustrator.
This is very helpful...thank you
Absolutely Great Job... Really Appreciated your work... Thumbs Up JR 👍
My only complaint is that he speeds through the last few steps. He starts out nice and slow and easy to follow.
