Remove the gray background of photo black and white

I have a black and white photo, ink, brush drawing I want to print on a card without the gray rectangle showing a bit of the background of the image. It is a drawing with edges rough and gray subtle where the ink is thin around the brush strokes which must be kept in ink.

Try a levels adjustment layer and adjust the white to the left point slider until the cast iron disappears. You can also do the same thing the black using the black slider to the far left, if it is faded or discolored. Adjustment layers is that they do not alter the image permanently. You can delete the layer if you want to try something else.

Levels, it's just that I prefer to the cleaning of a scan of the comic strip.

  • How to remove the unwanted parts of drawing black and white line

    I scanned in a flower art simple black and white lines.  I would like to remove some of the petals in Photoshop.  How can I do?

    Thank youFlower003.jpg

    I would like to remove the petals from the background.

    1 method: with the select magic wand the white bg, select-> invert the selection and create a layer mask.

    The layer mask is a monochrome picture, transparent black, white is opaque and anything in between is more or less transparent.

    You can now select the layer mask, use the brush and black paint, where you want to have something white, removed where you want to have something added. It is non-destructive and works very well on your photo.

    You can use shift click to 'draw' the small lines to attach to the top. According to the clarification, it will take more or less time. As I said are non-destructive.

    Second method: you use the pen to draw the lines around your flower vectors. With little exercise, you'll very quickly and you can always adjust the curvature of your curve, by pulling on the handles of the curve. Here you can see how it works: drawing with the pen in Photoshop tools .

    When done with the pen tool, you can add the vector line as a vector mask. You can even refine your mask after finishing. I suggest, since a mask of course work at a refined mask.

    The flower should not be on a layer, a background layer. Basemap layers have no transparency. The two methods are non-destructive, so you can return to the original image or parts of it, whenever you want.

  • After new udates, all the color going on in black and white!

    So I woke up this morning and got on the computer. It was presented that a windows update happened from one day to the next, because I was at the login screen. So I connect, and everything is fine, when all of a sudden while the office, all colors become black and white.

    I have tried everything I can think off - play with the monitor and by connecting them connected. I went into the control panel and tinkered with nvidia display stuff. Nothing.

    Finally, I downloaded and installed the latest driver for my graphics card. As it has been installed the drivers, the color came back on. When he did the installation of the drivers and tried to restart the computer, everything is black and white again.

    So I restarted the computer, and has obtained the connection - color was on. I have connect and see that the Office had the color, and then after like 2 seconds, he returned black and white.

    Gaaaahh! Anyone know what hell I have to do?

    Hello

    It could be a question to reset some settings in the office. We can also make sure that. for some strange reason, your display settings to high contrast were not lit.
    Try this: press > left ALT + left SHIFT + PRTSCN
    This should start the high contrast display, settings that are in black and white by default.
    Manual way that there are keys didn't do.
    Click on start and open Control Panel. Under access, click "optimize visual display".
    Make sure it is turned off.

  • How to determine the real colors in a black and white photo?

    I don't know if I'm in the right section, but I wonder if it is possible to use an Adobe program to restore real colors in a black and white photo? I want to add color by imagining or guess; I need determine the real colors. This may not even be possible, but if this is the case, please tell me what I can use.

    Thank you.

    That's where the art comes into play when they colorize old movies.

    A lady wearing a pretty dress: is it greeen or purple?  It seems gray.

    A baby comes home from the new baby clothes cute hospital: pink or blue?  They have light gray air.

    It's a nice tie school the guys to wear: use the colors wrong on the bands, and it is in a different school.  But they are nothing more than various shades of gray.

    If there is one thing missing in a B & W photograph, every vestige of the color information.   All you have is gray.   You may need TO determine the real colors, but without a color photo to use as a reference image, you are out of luck.

  • Photo gallery-photo black and white prints

    Photo gallery problem

    recently with Gallery of photos to print a photo it will print in black and white, not color?, but using the words & paint it will print in color using the same printer. Why?

    Hi YipJack if,
     
    -What happens when you preview the photo before printing the Photo Gallery?
     
    See the preview before printing:
     
    To see what the print will look like before you print it, open the picture in Windows Photo Gallery that offers a preview before printing. Print preview is typically located on the file menu. You can choose the print in preview mode options and then print directly from the preview.

     
    This happens usually if the print options or preferences are changed for your printer. To select print options, you must open the image you want to print. Most print options are located in the print dialog box, which you can access on the file menu in the program that you are using. The options that are available to you depend on the program and the printer you use.
     
    To access some options, you may need to click on the link 'Options' or 'Advanced Options' button or tab in the print dialog box. To learn more about the print options for a program, see the information for the program.
     
    Printing options are determined by your printer capabilities are called printing preferences and may include printing separation pages, color or image quality options and Staples. Like program options, printing preferences are displayed in the print dialog box. Look for the buttons labeled "Préférences" or "Properties". You can choose preferences each time you print a picture or preferences to default configuration to use for all the photos you send to a printer.
     
  • Beginner help.  Changing an image of the stock in a pure black and white image without grayscale.

    I'm taking a black and white (gray scale) tigerpaw and convert it to a totally black and white image without grey scale.  I imported the image (free, unprotected) and size it.  I used the magic wand to select all areas not black and I want to just convert to white, but I can't seem to understand this.  I'm sure this is a stupid question, but the solution is to escape despite the search. Thanks for any help.

  • All-in-one HP Deskjet 2540: How do I set the default to print in black and white only

    The manual says this, but it applies to a PC and I have a Mac:

    "If you want to print a black and white document using a black ink only, click on the Advanced button. Printing from the drop in grayscale, select black ink only, and then click OK. »

    Someone knows how to set the printer to print only black & white for a Mac?

    As an accompaniment, there are security settings that must be configured to reduce the risk of access remotely for the printing device?

  • Bridge turns my photos black and white?

    I have imported just pictures (taken in color in camera RAW) and bridge turns their downturn in black and white. What is going on??? I imported the files from another device (both of Fuji) and they are fine. How can I fix it?

    I've updated bridge CC today with CC PS and LR.

    Finally - reinstalled Adobe Camera Raw and now Adobe Standard in the calibration of the camera menu. I re-imported and all is well again.

    Would be nice if we could choose the calibration of the camera during the import of the bridge. I hope Adobe is listening...

  • I can't seem to change the black and white on my Lexmark printer.

    At the same time, I changed my printer set default print black and white.  Then I would just change color when I need it to be.  Then I noticed that the check box for printing black and white has been checked and gray, so I couldn't change it.  I thought it was because I was really low on my color.  I now have a new color in this cartridge, but still it won't let me uncheck the box in black and white.  I tried to restart my computer but no change.  Help, please.

    I have a Lexmark 7600 series.

    Check the settings of the printer itself to verify that it is not changed and there only in black and white (if there are all these settings on the printer)-which would probably override the settings on your computer.  BTW, what is the exact printer?  This is it: http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=answers&startover=y&question=lexmark+7600+series&locale=en&productCode=LEXMARK_X7675&segment=SUPPORT&userlocale=EN_US#1?  If not, what is it?

    You can get in trouble with your device drivers, firmware and/or software.  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get the drivers (and you shouldget them to at least the printer (http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=content&productCode=LEXMARK_X7675&actp=PRODUCT&id=DR11032&segment=SUPPORT&userlocale=EN_US&locale=en (if I was just on the printer above and you are using 32-bit Vista) and all you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem)) leave the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html. You can also try the Driver Verifier Manager to see if you can identify the driver or the responsible device (assuming that it is the cause):http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244617.

    Also, check the color cartridge belt moves freely and not get stuck on one side or the other - if the belt does not move, the printer can turn off the option.

    Remove the printer from the computer (I do not mean the drivers or software - I mean the configuration in the control panel).  Create a new printer in the start menu / control panel / printers section. Click on add a printer and start from scratch.  Then see if the new connection/configuration of printer works better than the old.

    If this does not work, then contact Support technique Lexmarkhttp://www1.lexmark.com/content/en_us/about_us/contact_us.shtml and see if they can help you because I don't think it would be a problem of Vista if you have reinstalled everything.  It may be a problem with the installation but it can also be a hardware problem - so be it, they should be able to help.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
