Question
i am not very versed in photoshop, i have 7.0 i have a round logo that is on a dark background, i want to just take out the background so it is white. i have tried the magic wand tool,then cut the background, but the edges of the round logo are not clean. i tried the background eraser tool, but when i click on that the pointer is a round circle & again i cant get the edge of the round logo to come out clean.  i thought i had used the background eraser tool before somehow & i just clicked one time & it took out the entire background. maybe i am just dreaming that ??

any help will be greatly appreciated
thanks,June

Answer
you need to use the pen tool

make a circle using said pen tool, which will create a path.

once done, go to the paths tab, thats next to the layers tab.

apple click the path you made

apple, shift, I - this will choose the inverse

delete :)
