How do i save ONLY the selection? In flash mx, i can save something as a png and it will come into photoshop as selection (drawing) only. I need to do something in photoshop, and bring it into flash, but no work area, just the image (my logo). It will be awful it it’s not possible ☹ ---

With your selection, hit Ctrl X to cut it out then open a new file and hit Ctrl P to paste it. Now your selection will be a seperate file for you to do whatever you want. ---

I’m not sure if you can copy it directly into flash, I know that you can save it out and then import it in though. ---

What would i save it as, so that only the selection comes in? I tried jpeg, png and a few others…:-\ See…i found a better way to achieve the glint effect 😛 This is the last thing in the way :geek: Can you remember the file extension it should be saved under? Thanks a lot for your help :A+: ---

Unfortunately - u can’t paste just the selection in Flash from Photoshop - it puts in a white square around it. So the only way I have found to do it is: make your thing in photoshop then import it in Fireworks - select it - then invert your selection and delete everything u don’t need - export as PNG - and then put import it in Flash (Flash will accept it from Fireworks without putting in that annoying little border). Or the hard way (if u don’t have fireworks) is bring it into flash - break it apart and then start chopping off the areas u don’t need. Hope that helps, D. :beam: ---

Try hitting DEL - if that doesn’t work I’ll be able to tell u in about an hour when i get home from work cause that’s where I got Fireworks. If I don’t have the program in front of me I seem to forget how to do stuff :crazy: :sigh: D. :beam: ---

LOL! Basically this is what happened: 1. i created a logo (clean vector one remember?) in flash mx 2. I saved it as a .png and imported into PhotoShop7 3. Messed about with it a bit and made it look pretty Now i want it back in flash mx to animate :bad: BUT i want ONLY the logo (selection) no border or white space or any of that nonsense. How do i get it back to flash as JUST the image…no border? ---

export it again as a png. If you have fireworks I would drag it through there first since they have .png 32 there. But in any case export it as a .png from where ever. pick alpha transparency and no matte. You shold be good to go. I thin someone else mentioned this also ---

try using the extract tool, and cut out the background. the you will just have the logo. the go to Edit - Select All. and then Edit - Copy. then paste it in flash as a MC or something like that. [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/easy-question-for-photoshop-7-users/25998.md?page=2)
