remove the white background

I am trying to create a wedding invitation and I have the graphics I want, but I want to add some Victorian scrolls, which are almost black on white background.  I was not able to find a way to get rid of the white background while I saw the black rollers.  I spent a few days (it's hours over several weeks) trying to understand this through research and have failed miserably.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks - Mike

Looks like you want to make the background transparent. If so, follow these steps:

1. If the scrolling in the Palette thumbnail layers is named 'Background' (the default value for jpg), rename it. Just a double click on the layer and accept the name of neww DEFAULT "Layer 0".

2. activate the magic wand with the contiguous option unchecked.

3. click anywhere in the blank for select all and . White is now transparent, indicated by the checkerboard:

Note that this also works if the background is uniformly white broken or even a different color.

Save this as a file type that supports transparency, such as PSD, PNG, TIFF.

For purposes of demonstration, I added a layer of color under the scrolling layer:

  • Remove the white background around picture in Illustrator

    I used the custom shape in Photoshop tool to make a paw print and made in Illustrator and used the trace tool to vectorize it (because the image will be used in an Illustrator file). Now I can't understand how to remove the white background around itself. I have a gradient behind the image and must have the white box removed latter. I'm sure that the method is probably pretty simple, but I'm rather new on Illustrator so would be very happy for all the advice! Thank you!!

    Sounds a rather twisted workflow. Create the leg like a a path in Photoshop, select with the path tool, copy & paste it in Illustrator. Works much better and avoids all the pitfalls. For your problem of trace: be sure to choose ignore white.

  • Remove the white background problems

    I have an image that someone else created. I'm trying to fix. I enclose a photo. On the left, you will notice that it is a white box around it. I don't want that. But when I delete the box, it also removes some of the details of the black pen. How can I stop doing that? I tried to expand the picture. There is no clipping mask. Any ideas? Thank you.Example.jpg

    Click again on the white feather and click on delete.

    White is more liekly a compound path, built a road outside (the box) and an inner path (the form of the feather). When you remove the box you end up with white feather shape and it covers black shapes.

    A better method of removing the white can be select, and then choose the command selection > same > background & contour in the menu and then hit the delete key.

    It's probably the print margin. Printers will not print to the edge on standard printer. The only way that you can print to the edge is implemented with the brand culture and then cut your works of art.

  • I can't change a PNG of a watermark file, because I don't have the little wand on my tools screen to select the white background to delete?

    If someone has had the problem of trying to convert a PNG image to a watermark and when I do the tutorial on youtube I don't even have the little wand they say select you on the left side of your screen so that you can remove the white background. I'm stuck.

    This is probably due to the icon tools being hidden by default. Both the wand and the quick selection tool share the same space. Place your cursor on the icon of the tool Quick Selection press the button of the mouse and hold the button for about 2 seconds and a passage outwards menu will appear. (this can be done with any tools that have a small triangle in the lower right corner)

  • How to remove a white background!

    Dear good friends!

    Vista 64

    PS CS3

    I have an image with a white background, and I'm trying to remove the background completely (like Green Screen in video)

    So I can replace it with another image, I used the 'magic wand' tool to select the white area and click on delete, but I still see shades of white, like the feather.

    I would like to remove all white nothing left, can someone please help!

    Thank you!!

    Thank you, you are great!

    When I removed the white background, is now replaced with black background, why is it!

    This means that your layer was still called 'Background', he will not support transparency unless you rename.

    Probably your background color in the Toolbox was too black.

  • Remove the white logo background

    I was looking for a way to remove the white square background that surrounds our company logo series so that when I place it in an inDesign doc, it's just around and wrong inside a white square.  Can someone explain please how to do this?  I tried everything I can think of.

    Ok. Thanks for the display of the logo. We want to keep the white in the circle.

    1. Open file logo
    2. Duplicate the background layer and close the visibility of the background layer by clicking on the "eye" icon. Work on the background copy layer
    3. Tool access wand, contiguous tick, the tolerance value = 30, hit DELETE on the keyboard
    4. Select > deselect to get rid of the dotted moving line (ouCtrl + D)

    Although it seems to be a white border when you first fill the snip, after saving it shouldn't be present more.

    If the border remains you can remove by using the crop tool on a photo editing programs such as integrated Windows Paint program.
