    There are still a lot of us who have dial-up.
    This tutorial was useless.

    How about words and pictures -disjointed words are not helpful!!!

    I thought that it may just be one or two which were slow to load.
    This site has so much potential, particularly for a teacher of digital graphics!!!

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.
