Will someone please give me the sequence and steps required to remove the background color from this jpg and make it transparent, so that when I add it to something else, only the lettering shows?
I can live with the red reflection of the lettering at the top back, or trimmed around the gold lettering, either way.

Thank you,
Regina Alden

use the magic wand to select the red background, you can adjust the tolerance at the top of the screen if you select too much or too little, and simply hit backspace and it shoud be deleted. and open the desired background under this layer
