Image help...

Mods, since this is "sorta" Rams related, I wasn't sure where to post this. Please move if needed.

Ordering a new zippo for my BDay. The attached image has a white background that I want to make transparent. I have tried to convert it using a couple different tools, but I have a really hard time around the small dates on the bottom left and right.

Anyone willing to give it a try?

I created this as a PNG file, with a one pixel white dot (low density and very soft) in each corner to preserve the size of the background. The white dots shouldn't be noticable.

Thanks. Still gives me a white background though:

It could be that the application is filling in the null area with white. I saved it as a PSD file, with a background layer that matches your last image.

The image uploader said invalid file type, so I uplaoded it here.

Thanks. Still gives me a white background though:

Is that the actual -- or, very close -- color of the Zip?

here's your Zippo, with the colors provided, and the non-background 75.

Um....I'm thinking this should be posted in the "smoking" section.

LOL. Ferter beat me to it! But I was going to try the same solution as Gap.

Thoey, I hope you don't smoke and want / need the lighter for Christmas candles, wood stove, etc.

All the best amigo, even when you get to your own 75th Anniversary!
