Get the lasso tool.

Go around the area you want to stay in.

Then press Ctrl and I (Yeah, I got it wrong last time Wink).

And then go to Select>Feather and change to 20.

Then press delete.

Nope, 20 is just what I use, I suggest 10 if you are using it for the font, anad it just has to a rough cut around the image mate Smile

here's an easier way:

you see that tool that looks like a magic wand (very ironic, but not intentional, I promise), take that, and drag it around the grey area, then let go, and go to edit>cut,

this sometimes doesn't get all of it, but only leaves a few pixels, which can be erased.

btw, braves are sucking this year, Mets ftw.

edit: or, you can select the layer the braves logo is on, go to colors>color to alpha, then pick the grey color, and it should get rid of it (but this makes the logo thats left transparent, but visible)

That really is not very good for fonts...and the way I said above takes 1mintue max, and it does it really smoothly, no edges. Whereas the way you just gave, takes a while to erase all the pixals the wand missed out... O_o

The braves are sucking because its a rebuliding year. they have been a dominant team for a while, and they eventually have to suck some year.
