Basic black/white graphic question (Adobe) - cross posted with computer forum

[Sparkly]

I have a black-and-white logo. All I want to do is remove the white background and make it transparent!

I have Adobe illustrator and photoshop, but this was originally designed in "Visio." (It's been saved as gif, jpg, and eps.)

How can I split this into two layers -- black and white -- if that's what I need to do to remove the white? Or is there another way?

1. were you able to save it as an SVG? Do that and then open it in Photoshop.

See if that works. You might have to recreate the logo and save it as an SVG

I use Inkscape where I save as SVG then open it in Photoshop or GIMP.

I haven't used Photoshop since 10.5 broke PS7. So I am a bit rusty with PS.

GIMP isn't PS, but it works well with Inkscape.
