Can't seem to get Sythe background color

[Sinful903]

So I'm new to GFX designing, and I'm creating a thread layout, but I can't make it transparency since all the overlays and stuff clash with each other. I've tried using the Sythes background color id, but when I upload the photo, the color doesn't match the background so it can be "transparent".

I've tried 0f1c2b and it doesn't seem to work, what am I doing wrong?

 

Why does it not work? Can we see an example of how it looks with that color code?

This is with using the recommended color code.

I don't think transparency is the issue here. It's the overlays, is it not? Try using a soft eraser brush (0%) to go along the top of the overlay (removing hard edges).

Well that's precisely why I'm asking, as I'm all new to all of this. When I get rid of the background I just a heap of shit going on with the overlays, if I try erase the "darker" areas, it just ends up cutting off bits of the overlay its self. I thought the color coded background would do the trick. :/

You would have to go to the individual layers to erase the edges so it's a more natural look. As it stands, if you tried erasing with the whole project on one layer, it's going to erase other stuff.

I mean you could just create a layer out of all the layers and then add a new layer under it. Fill the lower layer with the Sythe background color and erase the edges from the top layer..if that makes sense..?

I guess this is an easier way, yes.

trust me on this one, its a lot of work but it is so worth it. download gimp, use the color to alpha tool to make all your stocks transparent. it took me 3~ hours to get all my lighting stocks transparent but now I don't need to add a background color for the effects to work without a black box.

Cheers guys for the help, I'll figure it out eventually I guess.

 

@Sinful903
Your layers, overlays, graphics are not the problem here. You need to check your color settings (in Edit), and change your Working Space - RGB. You're probably on Adobe RGB, which change the colors a bit. Try switching it to sRGB IEC#####. If you tried and you still don't get the Sythe color, PM me.
