Converting a jpg to a transparent background for DTF

(1/3) > >>

Frog:
I have a job coming up that will require DTF transfers. The logo art is a jpg, that will apparently print the white background which I don't want. I understand the basic process of selecting the background, inverting the selection, and applying a mask, and saving that.
This process seems to favor art with distinct contrast. My design includes a fade to white. I can't seem to avoid a distinct cutoff and sharp edge. Will this always be a problem with this method, even with the tolerance set to 1?

3Deep:
Yes as lone as it has fades and your coming from a Jpeg image, DTF is not going to print fades anyway unless you know how to convert the art to color halftones, I would tell you how but I just learn myself.

Sbrem:
You might try the background eraser tool in PS, but it can be tough with the white fade.

I think that I am on my way of solving this by using the background eraser tool in different opacities and different diameters on the image which has already been made transparent with the select/inverse/mask method.
I don't know if these images will translate well here, but the first is the crappy fade, and the second is after I started fiddling about.

Homer:
with something like your example, I would delete the entire background/gradient then recreate the background. faster and easier for me.
