Hey guys, I have a question about my header Notice those lines between the header and the background? Is there anyway to make this seemless? I want my background to just blend with my image. If your capable of doing this I'm even willing to pay you a little bit, otherwise please share your knowledge! thanks Clay
you need to use the soft brush tool, set the opacity at 0 for the brush and just erase it will blend it in really nice. if you had someone design it, send it back to them and tell them to do it for ya thanks andy
Is that a screenshot of your website? If it is, it looks like you're using a tiling background image on your website, and the same tiling image for your header, but they don't quite meet in the correct place and so you get this line. To fix this, you should get the PSD source file of your header, delete this background and make it a transparent PNG. If it isn't, and that's your actual header source file, then let me know by posting here and I'll remove it for you, for free. It's just a case of using the clone tool with some blending to get it to look right. Hope it helps.
here's the website live: http://www.pureinternetgold.com/ that's what it looks like, can anybody work it from there?
yes your header image is sitting ontop of your background image(in web browser). each viewer on a different resolution will see different areas of the header/bg edge. the only way to have a seamless header/bg is to use transparancy. use a transparent .png or gif. i can do it for you, pm me
I agree that making the header into a transparent .png (so that you can the the grey/white checkered pattern behind the gold in photoshop) is the easiest solution. Just open your header image in photoshop and resave your file as a .png. Then, select all the brown leathery stuff around your gold, and go to edit/cut. You should see the default grey/white checkered pattern show up in the background. Make sure your image is flattened (only one layer--"background") and then save it. Upload the .png onto your server in place of the original header file, and you should be good to go.
Try replacing your header.jpg with this png. It's pretty crap - but it's possibly better than nothing. At least it should help you get the idea about using pngs with transparency. Looking at it now... I may have possibly under done it.
That might be a good idea - just erase the edges slightly and then save it as a transparent PNG. This'll have the effect of blending the two backgrounds together rather than lining them up.
You should take some time and just trace it out the background...it is not that complex. It will take literally 5 minutes
Similar to what the person above me said; You can just cut out the background; I recommend using Photoshop's Pen Tool. (This is called rendering, btw, when one cuts something out of an image, in case you didn't know.) However, a soft brush would also work as well.
I'd say the clipping path w/ pen tool is a better solutoin then using a soft brush it won't look as clean.
