Get Rid of the
Jagged Pixels!

You know how sometimes there are annoying jagged
edges around some of your favorite tubes or gifs?

This tutorial will help you get rid of them.
Right click and save this picture.

Open the layer palette.
Right click and Duplicate the layer.

Right click on the background layer and delete.

You do this so when you remove the color the 
background will be transparent.

Click on the magic wand. (shown)
Open the tool palette. Set a tolerance to about 40.
(You may need to adjust this setting)

Click on the background color,
 hold the CTRL down and hit X.

Continue around the graphic.
Hit the cut icon or CTRL X

I cut some of the bottom too.
I zoomed in and used the eraser
on stubborn areas.

Selections: Select None
Click on the magic wand again.
Click on the background
to get the marquee as shown.
Selections, Invert.

Selections, Contract 2 pixels.

Selections, Feather 3 or 4.

CTRL C then V.

Save as a tube or a gif.
If saving as a gif, ALWAYS use the wizard.
It's so easy!

No more jagged pixels!
