Invert to Alpha
When working with vector - created art and the source art is unavailable, modifying the art to create a logo can be a pain, to say the least—particularly when it’s flattened and the background needs to be knocked out. A careful combination of Invert (Command - I [PC: Ctrl - I]), Color Balance (Command - B [PC: Ctrl - B]), and layer Blending Options (Control-click [PC: Right-click] the layer name) can yield simple background knockouts of one- or two-color logos without making a mess.

The tutorial are brilliant, and really easy to understand how simple steps can make any image look better.
The only thing that would help is the web links to the images used in each tutorial to practice on. so you can follow the tutorial step by step.

Hi Corey
This is a good sample of a silhouette. Could you please send me the picture or jpg of the dove? I have pictures of movie stars, but not a dove. When I use a dove from the internet this lesson doesn’t work.
