How do I remove the background of artwork imported as a picture

I drew artwork on a blank sheet of paper and took a picture then imported it into my computer.  I want to ultimatly put the artwork onto a t shirt however, unmodified the sheet the artwork is on looks grey on the t shirt.  How do I edit the photo so the artwork which is in just black is just the artwork on a perfectly white background.  Thanks

Jose,
Unless you want the artwork as vector instead of raster, you may remove the background in Photoshop (if you have it), with no need to use Illy at all.
If you want it as vector artwork, but as close as possible to the present appearance (photolike, brushlike, and the like), you may use Live Trace ticking Ignore White (presuming the background is white.

  • How can I remove the background sound from the headphone jack for my MacBoo

    for my MacBook Air problem adding music intensifier (Panasonic ST-HT1000) to give it an unpleasant sound background that sounds like a whiz, it's not so loud, but it is an unpleasant .. after a short time can get used to, but the fizz does not pass, however, believe that it is a big problem.
    Further I notice that when MacBookAir disconnected from the charger, it remains quieter sound.
    At first thought that the headphone jack (3.5 mm Headphone:
    Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack) or wiere have problem, but tried 3 different cables, but that does change enything, the problem remains.
    When I added iPhonu3GS playing - the background sound were not, then everything is OK!

    There is no way to bring that up unless you have it typed in a document. You can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers that have been purchased or registered with your Apple ID.

  • How do I remove the background from a movie / sound problems

    Apologies, not really sure what I’m doing…
    How do I remove the background from a movie I made?
    I imported a QT movie at 368/272 pixels, but for whatever
    reason the HTML jumps up to 550/400.
    The movie is still 368/272 but there is a background border
    making it 550/400. Tried all sorts of settings in Publish but
    can’t get rid of it. Can I keep the movie (and controller)
    and not the background?
    I can get round it by changing the background colour, but
    surely there must be another way.
    Also: My QT file was fine but the .flv has a stuttering
    sound, any idea what could cause that?
    Thanks, and Thanks!

  • How do you remove the background from an image

    how do you remove the background from an image thathas a white background?

    First, change the background layer to a normal layer if needed, by dragging the padlock to the trash can.
    Then use the quick selection tool or magic wand tool to select your background.
    Now you can either delete the background, or click the icon at the bottom of the layers panel that looks like a circle inside a square. This icon will convert the selection to a mask.
    The advantage of the mask is, it is non-destructible. In that you can change your mind at any time. Whereas deleting pixels is permanent once you close the file and there is no duplicate files. (A way around this is to make a duplicate layer and hide it. But that does make the file larger.)

  • How do you remove the background of a presentation?

    I am a student and all my PowerPoint lectures are sent to me before they begin.  I take those lectures put them into keynote then use "Open in another app" to open as a PDF in notability. 
    Notability allows me to record the audio of the lecture and take notes directly on the slides.  However, some teachers use dark or colourful backgrounds that make annotating them a bit frustrating.  I want to remove the backgrounds in the same way I could if I selected print "With Backgrounds: off"
    Just to be clear I do not want a hard copy of the presentation.  I want to have a digital version without the background that looks similar to the hard copy version keynote makes when you select print "With Backgrounds: off"
    Thanks

  • When I import midi on an older version of itunes, how do I remove the background crackling after the midi to mp3 conversion?

    When I import a midi file to itunes (older version as this feature is missing from newer versions) I get a lot of crackling in the background when I convert it.  My midi files don't do that on their own and when I don't convert the file in Itunes, it sounds clear.  How do I get it to sound like the standard playback or if that's not possible, how do I get it to sound clearer?

    Do a web search for "revert iTunes".  There are many web sites with detailed instructions.  It is a complicated process and I do not think it can be achieved with Time Machine alone.  Time Machine can act as a source for your old library file but the rest involves going into protected files and folders of the system and removing various components.  Oh, the version to which you want to revert also has to be one of the few still available for download.  I don't, for example, think you can download a copy of iTunes 12.0  It would have to be 11.4 and you would have to have a backup copy of your library file from back when you used that version.

  • How can I remove the background behind my selected graphic?

    I have a logo that has a rectangular background behind it; I want just the logo itself. How do I get the odd shaped logo only off the rectangle? This was not created with AI, I don't know what program was used. I can't just ungroup.
    I am learning this by trial and error, please - a simple explanation for my non professional ears.
    Thanks!

    In a case like this just hiring a pro is not enough.
    sorry, I have to disagree.
    Handing the graphic stuff to a pro works for so many clients. Why shouldn't it work in this case? There is no simple alternative available. It's just not possible to explain this in a few newbie-compliant words and there is no simple method to get the desired solution (a logo without a white background - or whatever color it may be).
    Because you did not read what I wrote and decided to interpret it based on the one phrase.
    This user or would be users has no background in computer generated art and perhaps non in the preparation of art in genera for reproduction.
    Hiring a pro in itself will not make for a great result and there is a good chance not even a professional resul.
    The reason is that they themselves do no understand the requirements and probably put the kind of restrictions on the Pro to do things that will make for failure.
    They need some education and some know how to relate to what the pro is doing for them.
    It would be different if they had a professional or experience person to mentor them on the client side but they do not seem to.
    I wrote they had to do three things in order to get some form of knowledge so they can work with a pro.
    The OP states hey do not even understand the meaning of some of our words and phrases and so they first need to gain the some understanding of what is gong on or they will be in a panic at every turn.
    I would even venture to say that you have never worked successfully with a client that ha no understand about what you are required to do, I am not say the OP has to be an expert they do have to be able to communicate with a pro.
    The OP has to know what the pro is telling them what they are doing for them etc.
    If you have ever been in the position of working with some one totally unfamilar with the task at hand then you would understand what I mean.
    I once had a client who told me he could actually take the photographs better then  I can if I would just show him the button on the camera that made the photos look good, so I pointed to the shutter release, he accused me of lying saying I was not showing him the secret button that professionals use.
    He actually found a way he tells everyone that he took the photos I took that day.
    So unless the OP has a good basic knowledge they cannot make rational decisions as is the case here.
    to the OP I am not accusing you of being like my client but you do need some understand of what your designer would be talking about andkeep in mind that Ilustrator is not that easy to learn even if it looks like it would be.

  • How to only remove the background pic in text mess...

    Hello there
    I'm a pround owner of a Nokia E52 now and as any enthusiastic new buyer, I tried changing the theme & stuff. I came upon some very cool themes (in tehkseven.net), but all their problem is that the background picture interferes with my text messaging. I mean the colors are so varied that I can't keep the background picture during text messaging, whatever color I choose, it might be unreadable when I reach a certain area of the picture.
    I am looking for a way to ONLY disable the background picture (wallpaper) in the new text message section, not anywhere else. Is that even possible?

    you can  select a plain theme have a look at sites such as zedge.com themes will interfeer depending on the colour content and placement of certain colours that are getting in the way of the visible field of text

  • How do I remove the white space when importing a site from Flash?

    Okay, so I've dragged and dropped my created Flash site into Dreamweaver. One problem though, when I view it in a web browser (any web browser), it displays the site fine, however with a huge white space to the side of it. You'll see what I mean in this screenshot:
    What can I do then to remove that white space and make the site fill up the whole web browser? I've tried resizing it using a number of ways, but cannot seem to get it right.
    Thanks.

  • How do I remove the white background of an object in cs6

    How can I remove the white background of an object in CS6

    I went into YouTube as well, and indeed: It didn't remove the white background.
    Then I went into Photoshop and was surprised: It was able to remove the white background by just playing around with the Magic Wand Tool. I also went into other programmes similar to Photoshop and was excited that there were connatural ways to remove the white background. Finally, I went into Illustrator and observed that the clipping path route worked. Even in CS6.
    Not sure why it didn't work for you.
