How do I make a JPEG image logo transparent?

[Ramshackle]

jack, how complex is the logo? its quite a simple matter make an image transparent using many of the free paint programmes, i use paint.net personally to make most of my icons etc transparent it does a good job as long as the image isnt too "busy" so to speak - you can post the image up here and i'll run it through the paint.net prog and see how it turns out.

there you go - very easy to do :-)

you beat me to it trukkerz, i just saw the op post on the other forum - didnt see it posted here and had a gander over at xarausers

[trukkerz]

hehehehe same here - saw it and i thought this shouldnt take long so why not - should let the user do it himself really the only way to learn but i thought it would take me longer to explain how to do it than do it :-)

exactly what i was thinking but i remembered what a revelation it was when i did learn how to do it, can import export and do the thing in under a minute these days, i also believe their are some small stand alone progs that can do it for you out their but can't remember the name....


edit, did you by chance remove the text, do the image and then re do the text? as the font looks slightly different?

oh yh never thought of that - i did do the image then typed the words - spose if he wants different font could always chop it off and retype in desired font :-)

I threw in a drop shadow and a XAR vector file at no extra charge.

People. PLEASE help. I can't find anyone to do this for me and every time I try to make my logo transparent on GIMP it looks stupid.. All deformed and what not... Here's the logo if anyone is kind enough to make it transparent for me.. that is if you're good enough for something this complex.. Thanks.

Who designed the logo? Who has the original file? What was it created in?

I have made a PNG but can only upload it as a jpeg
