How do I make a jpg have no background?

I have a jpg of scanned calligraphy. The words are written in black and the background is white. I would like to change the words from black to white and then I would like there to be no background. My end goal is to put the words on an image and have no frame or background between the words and the image. Just like normal text would appear, but instead it's an image of calligraphy.
Any suggestions? Can i do this in Indesign? Or do I need to use Photoshop?

@lizabys – there is another way, if the effective resolution of your scan is high enough: let's say 600 ppi and above.
Convert the JPEG to a 1-Bit (Black & White) TIF file in PhotoShop, place it in InDesign. Now the "background" is gone and you can color the placed image inside its container as you want, even white…
Downside: you'll lose all "gray" tones of the original scan.

    Where did you purchase this. The US phones do not come with the SIM removal tool anymore. They haven't for some time now. I'm not even sure it comes with any of the devices anymore. You can just straighten out a paper clip and do the same thing.

  • How do I make a button have a permanent down state?

    How do i make it so when you when you click on the button it
    changes the button..
    for example
    normal > red
    rollover > green
    when clicked > stays blue

    I solved that problem by making the down state an actual
    frame in the timeline.
    ie. I want something to happen when you press the button.
    That something is going to happen on frame 10 and the button is on
    frame 1-9. Make a Layer called ACTIONS. Then while on that button
    frame range (1-9) and after selecting that button, in the Actions
    panel I put
    on (release) {
    gotoAndPlay(10);
    Then I select the ACTIONS layer I created and put a
    stop();
    at frame 9... so it waits for the button. you could just send
    it back to frame 1 if you want an anim to loop.
    Anyway, on Frame 10 (when that button is pressed) I replace
    it with what it stays with... the down or SELECTED STATE button.
    This was how fixed my buttons to stay down.
    there is probably a better solution somewhere.

  • Hi. how does one make sure photos have been uploaded to I cloud

    trying to update to IOS 8 on my iphone 4s from IOS 7.1.2. cannot due to storage requirements. asking me to delete items. what should I do?  most are photos  how do I make sure they are now in cloud and can be safely deleted from phone storage.

    Be very careful.
    Only the last 1000 photos maximum are stored in iCloud and for a maximum of 30 days.
    In the new version of iCloud Photo Library (which is in Beta) it will keep all photos, but you are not using that version yet as you need iOS 8 installed to do that.
    The best thing to do is connect your iPhone to your computer and transfer the photos from the photo to your computer.
    The instructions on how to do it are here:
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC

  • How do I make a thumbnail that has a gallery inside? And how can I make this gallery have embeded videos from vimeo + Images?

    Hello,
    I'm pretty new to Muse so I don't know a lot about it, but I researched a lot and didn't find an answer to this question.
    I'm trying to make a portfolio website. The website will be a 12 thumbnails. But each thumbnail is one project, not an image.
    When you click one of the thumbnails, I want it to be a lightbox that will show embeded videos from vimeo mixed with images.
    Ex: A coca-cola projet.
    Main page has a thumbnail of a coca cola image. When you click on it, it opens a lightbox with a coca-cola film, when i click to the right arrow, it shows a cocacola poster, then another poster, then another video. (but they are all part of this gallery, that is inside the thumbnail.
    Can you guys help me?
    Thanks!!!

    I don't understand why my thumbnails don't work.
    I dragged a composition lightbox inside another one. But I still have the first lightbox there and can't delete.
    When I try my wabsite i see this:
    But then I click the thumbnail and I see this:
    And when I click one of those 3 I see this:
    Like it is making a double lightbox.
    but it doesn't show the images, it's like the first lightbox is on top of the second one.
    How I deal with this?  =/

  • How do you make individual jpgs from a clipping mask of a larger jpg file?

    I have a large mosaic picture that makes up an image. I have set dimensions and a template of smaller bounding boxes that will be individual canvas's when I print them and when put together will make this larger image. I am unable to export or save individual jpg files from this clipping mask of a larger file. Any Suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Garrett

    Don't use clipping masks, use artboards and enable the "use artboards" option on export.

  • How do I make my pages have uniform text?

    Hi!
    Okay so I'm really new to Dreamweaver and web design, but there's one thing that's bugging me beyond belief that I just can't figure out how to fix. I even feel stupid asking this question because maybe (and hopefully) there's a really simple answer, but anyways...
    So basically, I use the design part a lot more than the code part. Every time I put a bunch of text into my the main content part of my page, I want to have some of the text centered, and the majority of it aligned to the left (as I'm sure is the case with most people). But everytime I align a part of it, the whole thing aligns the same way. Same goes with color and font. Sometimes, a box comes up saying "New CSS Rule", "Choose your selector name", etc... It generally says this in the box:
    This selector name will apply your rule to
    all <p> elements
    that are within any HTML elements with id "mainContent"
    that are within any HTML elements with id "container"
    that are within any HTML elements with class "twoColLiqLtHdr".
    I've tried picking different ones, but it never only lets me align that particular sentence. It normally changes the whole or another part of the text as well.
    Please help! It's so frustrating!
    Thanks!

    J Cellini's advice is spot on, you can't rely on design view for ever, you'll have to get into code view and get your hands dirty at some point  :-)
    Without html/css knowledge it will be difficult to progress much further.  Lacking this knowledge will not allow you to troubleshoot any problems you do encounter.
    Here is a list of basic tutorials that will help you get started with using Dreamweaver and teach you some html and particularly how to use css:

  • How do I make a String have a Listener?

    I want to be able to have a listener for a String's change event. Is there such a thing? How would I do it?
    i.e. If
       String myString = "";
    was changed to
       myString = "New";
    Could I have a listener that was registered to capture that event?

    You can implement a "wrapper" for the String which only allows you to change the string using its "setter". The wrapper can then register the listeners and fire an event when the string is changes (using the setter). The wrapper may look something like the following
    class MyWrapper {
    private String myString;
    private Vector listeners;
    public void setString (String myString) {
    this.myString = myString;
    fireValueChanged();
    public String getString() ...
    public addListener(ValueChangedListener listener)...
    private fireValueChanged()...

  • How can I make a website have a different template

    I have a website that I have messed up, I have my main pages and then several hundred pages connected to them. Is there a way that I can make a template for these several hundred pages and leave these main pages the same. I have 1 template for everything now but need to move to a 2 template system for my website?

    Ideally, you would add optional regions to your main Template.dwt for things that will appear on some but not all pages.  Using parameters, you can to elect to show or hide these regions where desired.

  • How do you make an image have a transparent background?

    i brought an image from PS into Illustrator and i want to put it in AE and use the puppet tool. however, when i bring it in it has a white background, but i just what the object i am going to puppet, so how do i do that?

    AE does not require an image to be sent through Illy first. Just make sure your image has a transparent background and/or an alpha channel if need, then save as a psd file. In AE bring the psd file in as footage, unless you need a compostion and folder for the psd created in the project list. You should then be able to use the puppet tool on an image with a transparent background.

  • How can I make my page have animations when I click on the link?

    I am doing a class report and I need to come up with something to teach my class in one of our software programs. I am in the middle of Dreamweaver and Access so of course I chose Dreamweaver. I would like to know for my own page as well as to teach my class on how to make my page animated when I click the links.
    In power point you can set animations to your slides. I would like to know how to do almost that same thing but on a website.

    CSS Transitions, Transforms and Animations can do all kinds of fun stuff in modern browsers (everything but IE8 and lower, IE9 can do "some" of it)...

  • How do i make my clips have stereo audio again?

    I've been building a project and i'm about half way done. All of my video clips were imported with stereo audio and until now they have been stereo when i drag them down to the timeline, but for some reason, now when i drag them to the timeline they become mono tracks. They are still stereo while they are in the browser, though. Even when i drag a clip that i used earlier in the timeline (when the clips stayed stereo tracks) it comes up a mono track. Did i change a setting? or is there something i'm not doing or doing different? How do i get my tracks to be stereo again?

    Do two tracks go to the timeline or one? Are both tracks connected in the path panel at the head of the timeline? Are the clips stereo pairs or dual mono?

  • In Pages, how can I make one page have one column on part of the page and two columns on part of the page?

    What I am trying to achieve is a page with one column for all the text I write, but I also want to show two tables (one placed beside the other, not underneath the other) so on the part of the page where I am showing these tables, I would like to have two columns. Is this possible? Underneath the tables, there is more text that should be in one column only.

    Use a layout break.

  • How can i make my calender have that little 1 on the top.

    You know when theres like missed call theres a little 1 or 2.. i saw in the 3g tutorial there was a little 1 on the top.. can you do this on a regular iphone not 3g.. and i have downloaded 2.0. Thanks

    Hello BG777
    I believe this was only if you were using Exchange. The notification on Calender would show 1, 2, 3 etc depending on the number of invites you got on a certain day in the Calender.
    I did get this once myself when I was messing with my exchange server sending myself random invites and Cal updates.
