Hi, I'm working on a wallpaper and I kinda ran into the limits of my skills.
Is there any way to remove the background from pic related and still keep the engine glow?
I obviously can't just do a select by color, since that doesn't work on gradients.

Bump. Novice graphic artist here would also like to know.

Looks good.
Mind telling me how you did that?
I'm here to learn.

there's different ways
here's one >>>/wsr/276185
what i did on that was just removing the black background with magic wand tool, then polygonal lazo to remove the glow light, then i simply placed an 'optical flare' -pic related on top of the engine.

Thanks, that was also my thread.

goto the channels palette
highlight the blue channel
Select All + Copy
highlight rgb channel
paste new layer (this should be a copy of the blue channel, but as its own layer in grayscale)
using layer/adjustments/curves, blow out the ship until its all white.
Select All + Copy
turn off that layer
on the original ship layer, add a mask
option/alt click on the mask in the layer palette
Paste the modified grayscale image into the mask
opition/alt click the layer in the layer pallet to get out of mask mode.
done
