How to Instantly Remove the White Background of a Logo in Photoshop
Hi there in this video, we're going to dive into blending modes a little bit more basically. It's how layer interacts with the background, this particular use cases really great when you've got an image like this hand drawing, I've done all this logo and it's kind of stuck to the white background. Watch this Ready City just magically disappears the background. It takes one click to do it. Same thing when you've got that same logo, it was black. Now it's white on a dark background there. Cool blending modes. They can really save you some time. Let's get into them now. All right, to get started. Let's go to file. Let's go to open in a new folder now called 10 blending modes. Open up, blending 123 and four. We're gonna start with one and two. So we've looked at blending modes before in this course and we just kind of ignored them. Really, I just told you to do them and they did some magic. Now it's time to understand them a little bit more. And one of the kind of main uses for it when you...
want to remove the white background of something. So in this case I've got this logo here, it is not on its own layer, it is smooshed into the white background here and I want to remove the white. So what I do is with my move tool selection, click hold, drag, drag, drag under blending mode. One let go now before we move on. This works amazingly for black onto a light background. If you need it to be white on a dark background, we'll do it in a sec, it's not as good just so you know, but in this case it's pretty magic. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to get it down here, going to resize it a little bit so it fits. But before I do that I'm going to convert it into a smart object because that's what we're doing, right? We're doing everything pro now I had a smart object. Now I'm going to shrink it down so that quality is still there, hit return. So we've got the logo but it's got this dreaded white border around it. All we're going to do is with this top layer selected. I'm gonna change it from normal and this one here is gonna be the magic one. Multiply. Now we did it with a logo. Let's say we've done it with this hand drawing, we're looking at blending 04. So I'm gonna click hold, drag, drag, drag with my move tool, drag, drag, drag, let go. Same thing. It's a bit big. I drew this in my notebook, I've scanned it in and I want to see if I can lay it out but it has the white background. So instead of doing a mask which can be tough, we're going to convert it to a smart object which is not particularly necessary other than we want to keep all that good quality in there. Okay. And I'm gonna drag it and because it needs to go onto a white background, it's gonna work perfect. Well I've made a light dish background so you can see it a little nicer so you can kind of see it through. So I've got my little drawing here and I'm going to change from normal to multiply. Cool. Huh? So dark on light is perfect. You can move it around okay And you can see it. There's lots of things you can't do to it. It's quite a quite a really specific use. You need to just chop out the white background. If I'm gonna try and color this with say a color overlay, it's just not going to work watch. So if you want to get into kind of recovering it, you're going to have to look at masking out the black or maybe Victory Rising it in something like illustrator. There's something called live trace which can really save the day. But if you've got a logo and you've copied it off somebody's website and you need to use it and you need to chop out the white background. Good to go. Now there is a case where you want to on a dark background. Okay, So the black is not going to work. So I'm gonna do the same thing blending. Oh, to grab him, grab him, drag him, drag him. Okay, we've got him here, convert it into a smart object. I was giving that step because I'm going fast. Okay and you'll notice that multiply works but just not the way I want it. I want it to be white. So what you're gonna do is you're gonna work your way through these blending modes and you'll eventually get to where is he divide? Okay. And it's gonna kind of work. It's it's working good because it's kind of monochromatic in the background. There's no real color going on. Watch what happens when it goes over color. So really that's a kind of a small use case where it's monochromatic in the background. You needed to be white. I show you this because surprisingly enough, I use it enough when I'm doing kind of design work and you just can't find the logo of someone. Now, if you are doing this type of layout in something like in design or illustrated instead of Photoshop, you will be able to find blending modes in all of those programs as well. You can check out my courses on both those bits of software I covered in those two. Alright, so getting into blending modes, we've covered a little bit. This one particular. Cool. Little usage. Great. When you've got a logo or a drawing and you need to remove the background. Alright, next video
