Ahhh. This is a difficult one without seeing the image and seeing the background it's against.

I'm gonna assume it's against a grey background.

Create two copies of your splash.

Set one layer to multiply and the other to screen.

This will leave just the whites and blacks (on two seperate layers.

There's loads of other ways (for example using calculations) that will probably do it better, but as I said it's difficult without actually seeing the image in question.

I'll PM you with a link to an excellent tutorial using calculations.

the other option is the background eraser tool - it isn't a 100% perfect option but is very useful. i used it on my destruction theme images to remove the large wave from its background and also removing the sky from the buildings so i could merge these elements into a single image.

It would seem to be OK in thins case, but you were right to err on the side of caution.
