I know this is a flash board but I figured there would be some photoshop whizzes out there as well. My question is is there a way to strip out a black image on a white background? I have an image that has jagged edges, etc.. which would take forever to cut out and and individually delete the white remnants of the white backgroudn I clipped it out of. I've tried the magic wand etc but can't find a way to cleanly pull out the black image off without taking some white with it? anyone have any tips?
 
its actually japanese characters (in black) on a white flattened background. I want to pull the characters out without the white ghosting that always happens. I thought maybe using channels somehow you could isolate the black color and select it.
 
could you try to find them else where .. maybe a font or something -- or clipart

Have you tried Select>Color Range?

Did you set the tolerance of the Magic Wand tool to 0?

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!
