Photoshop CS Savvy

Because you re going to slice the image in ImageReady, you don t have to worry about creating a seamless background. But you will fill the empty portion of the background:

  1. Choose the Magic Wand tool . Click the transparent area of the Ballerina layer to select it.

  2. Choose Window ’ Swatches. From the Swatches palette menu, choose Web Safe Colors, as seen in Figure H9.3. Click the Replace button to replace the current swatches with Web-safe colors. The Web Safe Colors swatches let you choose from the 216 colors that are displayed uniformly on the World Wide Web.

  3. Choose black (#000000) from the Swatches palette. Black is the very last swatch in the palette.

    Note  

    If you hover your mouse over a swatch, the color s RGB value will be displayed.

  4. In the Layers palette, target the Background. Press Option-Delete (Mac) or Alt-Delete (Win) to fill the background with black.

  5. Deselect by pressing /Ctrl-D. The image should look like Figure H9.4.
