Removing Black From Full Color Leaves Black Line

See attached image for reference. I'm trying to remove the black from a full color smart object illustration so then I can have another layer which has just black part so I can offset it and have its own texture to it. I need this to be non-destructive so that it can be used with any illustration. When I use the blending option sliders I'm left with a thin black like around the edge of the black. If I move the sliders any further the blue starts to disappear.

Hope that makes sense. Please let me know if you need any more info.

Black Silhouette Has Gray Trim That Requires Removal. Assistance Requested.

The attached picture is the black silhouette of a bass with transparent background (on its layer) but when I isolated it and did a background eraser a remnant of gray outline remains in many areas of the picture (this can be seen by turning on the black layer also in the file). I have tried to do additional color eraser to no avail. Can someone help me get this gray gone and leave only the black on the layer. I would like to know what tools and techniques you use as well. Your help is appreciated.
Heck I cant get the .psd to attach so I added i made examples below the first with the outline and transparent background looks good but when you put it on a black background (image2) you see the outlines in gray that I want to get rid of or turn black. Either way the goal would be when I turn on the black background the fish should disappear.
Thanks,

Image That Looks Different On Black Background And On White

Hi,

Today I saw a picture that looks different on black background and on white. There is an example attached. Does anybody knows how to do this? I found an explanation on the link below, but doesn't worked for me (when I create the subtract layer, it doesn't result on a transparency layer):

graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/9088/image-that-looks-different-on-black-background-and-on-white

All I know is that the final image must be a PNG file, with transparency on it... But don't know how to merge the two images to get the effect of different images depending on the background color (black or white).

Can anybody help me to understand that effect?

Action To Copy Color In Layer Mask To Another Layer Mask

Hi all,

Having trouble with this problem...

I have layer 1 with a color mask set to black, red, blue etc.
I have layer 2 with a color mask which i want to match and also become black, red, blue

There are hundreds of files, and the color in layer 1 is always different.

Manually i would simply click on the layer 2 mask which opens the color picker, and select the area of layer 1 i want to match.

But doing that in a macro does not work.

I can't get a macro to recognize that i want to copy the color content of a mask, and not the specific color used in the example during which the macro is recorded. The color picker does not seem capable of selecting a dynamic input (e.g. whater color is on layer 1), it simply copies whatever was in layer 1 during recording like a dumb instrument.

thanks for any input.

Remove Black Behind Transparent Material

I have a load of images that I have been given by a manufacturer, some have white backgrounds and are great. Others, have a black background..and are not great. I am needing to edit these black background images to be like the white background images.

You'll notice for the product (attached images) that there is packaging immediately around the yellow string. It's this bit that I am finding incredibly hard to change from the blackish colour to the whitish colour, shown in the picture with the white background.

Does anyone have any ideas please how I can change this black area to be like the 'good' photo? Any help is greatly appreciated.

If You're Good With Colors, Please Help!

Guys, I could use your input. I created the attached poster for a sports ministry at church. I like my idea (taking my Bible verse and making it a double meaning), but what I am uncertain about are the colors. Because the design contains silhouettes, naturally I used black and white. However, can a black and white poster attract church members' attention on a bulletin board? I like simplicity, not sure about others. Can you please let me know if you would recommend that I color this poster in any other way? Feel free to color this and show me what you've done. Please, I really need your opinion. I have never done this before.
