I am very new to Photoshop and I’m having trouble adding a background color to a GIF file (logo). When I add the color: RGB 255, 102, 0 – it leaves little white specks around the letters and logo and I can’t get a crisp, clean contrast. Again, I know nothing about layers or how to change them. I was told by someone to start with the original EPS logo, change the mode to RGB, add a layer underneath, fill it with the background color and save for Web. Sounds easy, but all I have right now is this GIF file and I’m getting frustrated trying to achieve this.

Any help would be appreciated.

I’m using Photoshop CS.

What you are told is correct. Those specs are anti-aliasing, made to make the gif blend smoothly to the original background colour. When you change the background colour, they look as you are seeing them.

Your only solution, unless you have the original, is to paint them out one pixel at a time.

Thanks Don. I’m going to see if I can get the original and go from there.
