Help with Adobe Photoshop 6.0

Help with Adobe Photoshop 6.0

Ok two separate things. First I have tytorial from sty-x.com on creating a glass sphere and I am stuck. After creating and filling the first image the tutorial says I new to add a color overlay. It tells me to go to layer>layer style> coloroverlay but layer style is greyed out. So I can't go any further. Help!! Second I have an image that has a sphere on it or background. I want to remove the background so that all I have left is the sphere. Please keep this very simple because I have no knowledge of Adobe Photoshop and for some reason nothing makes sense to me. Thanks. If possible please email me.

If you want to cut an image from abackground, use the majic wand tool, click on either the object to be selected or on the background, u may need to hold shift key and keep clicking until all the white selection marks dissap. once u have your object selected invert the selection under selection copy and paste into an open image or create a new file and paste. hope this helps.

Dent, mostlikely that will not work for most objects, when you take the 'magic wand tool' you can insert how many pixels it allowes, the more you rice this the bigger the chance gets that you select the outside too.

is your sphere on it's own layer or the background? (Styl's instructions don't say to create a new layer before drawing but you need to )

you can't apply layer styles to the initial background layer.

to make a new layer press Ctrl+Shift+N. Then create your shape. You should then be able to apply your layer style.

Also when you create the new document, under content, select transparent to give you a transparent file to start with.

Hope this helps!
