How to get rid of a background in an image?

Does anyone know of an easy way to get rid of the background in the attached image and just keep the red print?
Any ideas appreciated.
If someone knows of an easy way, I have a much larger version of the image in PNG format.

Another way to proceede is to convert it to B/W and adjust the conversion for taste. Then clean it up using curves or levels and clip it to a red fill layer. Here is a quick proof of concept. Doing it in sections would produce better results. The rectangles are new additions.
I suspect this trade mark is still in force and owned by Honeywell and should not be used for commercial purposes.

How to get rid of warbling background sound when expoerting to MP4 ?

Hello All;
I've been having a very, very strange problem since the first day I started exporting a FCP video to MPEG-4 via. the compressor. For some bizarre reason, I always hear a warbling sound in the background when I export a video - this makes MPEG-4 creation completely unusable.
This is driving me absolutely crazy as I need to create a video for the web. Everything else worked perfectly - size was good, video was very clear, only this stupid warbling sound. I did not record live video ... I only used existing video that was in the FCP project and when I play the project in FCP, I don't hear this strange sound. Also when I export to other formats like Quicktime or even DVD (Via. the compressor) I also don't hear it.
Anyone experience any problem like this before ? And can someone help me get rid of this stange background sound ?
Tim

Thanks for the info, Dave.
I think I may have solved my problem. I changed the audio sample rate to 32 KHZ and I removed the Right Audio Channel. I used a shotgun mic and it was connected to the left channel so I'm not really sure what the right channel was hearing.
However, I still think the sample rates were mismatched. It looks like the original clip's audio was set to 48 khz audio but the 48 khz audio setting of the MPEG-4 compressor setting was grayed out so I was unable to select it - Do you know why it was grayed out and is there a way to select 48 khz ? I would still like to try to set the clip to a sample rate of 48 khz in compressor when exporting to MPEG-4.
Anyway ... I'll know for sure if it's working tomorrow morning. I exported a sample clip while I did the testing but am exporting the full hour-long program overnight.

How to get rid of grey background in main window?

Hi
Just bought PE 13 for my iMac? Quite simply : I don't like the main window that opens - a big expanse of grey. There must be a way to keep the window's "frame" while getting rid of the opaque grey, so I can still see my desktop when using PE ?

Unfortunately, adobe removed the ability to turn off the application frame in photoshop elements 11, 12 and 13.

Tracing a png - how to get rid of background

I've imported a png of a simple black drawing on a man (Like you get on a toilet door) with a transparent background and tried to trace it to a vector but I can not get rid of the white background. i've tried it as a jpeg to see if the trace command would generate two layers one for the main drawing and one for the background that I could delete, but it di dnot. I tried setting the Trace fuction to just outline but that did nto work either.
Can someone tell me how to get rid of the background when tracing a simple image or break apart the object to get at the background shape?
Kevin

Yes I tried each othe the options on the trace and I always end up with a solid white background.
Here is the png - http://www.federatedfilms.com/StickManBlue.png

TS3899 Getting a "background picture of angry birds" in back of my e mail messages...any ideas how to get rid of this? Thanks for your help

All of a sudden I am getting a background picture of angry birds in my e mail. I can view the mail but it is annoying.
I have cleard the history an still it appears. Any ideas on how to get rid of this garbage? Thanks for your help.

Bettina:
Do you see the color in Designer, or only Acrobat. If it's only in Acrobat, try changing the menu item Forms >> Highlight Fields. This toggles entry field highlights on and off.
Mark
You can shut off or change the highlight with this
app.runtimeHighlightColor = color.red;
if (app.runtimeHighlight)
app.runtimeHighlight = false;

How to get rid of background noise when recording voice on iphone 5 ?

every time i record a voice over i hear wierd background noise can someone tell me how to get rid of it im using my headphones to record btw

Go to System Preferences / Sound and click on the Input button. You should see two items listed in the device menu: the Internal Microphone and Line In. (There may be others if you also are using your USB or Firewire ports for input devices.)
Select Internal Microphone and adjust the Input Volume control to the far left (minimum). This will mute the computer's internal microphone.
Then select the Line-In (or other device) and adjust the input level as needed to make your recording.
Good luck.

I'm using movie program how do get rid of background noise and put music over top of video

Niel,
Thanks for your suggestion about using RCDefaultApp. I am hesitating to do this because it seems like I'd be installing still another piece of software to fix the original mistake---downloading Reader.
About 20 years ago I maintained---with considerable handholding---UNIX systems of various sorts. Can you suggest how I might find the plist that seems to require changing?
BTW, Preview is called whenever I open some random .pdf file. The problem appears when I want to get a file from the web. If the site permits a "download" I can get the file, but if I want to "view and print" the file, the evil dark-grey Adobe screen appears with the whirling black ball. Then Safari quits. I'm wondering if the reference to Reader is in a "cookie" sent from the website, when I first was installing Reader. Is this possible?

How to get rid of title bar of a quicktime window?

The main problem:
I want to display the title info etc about each track as they play in iTunes. How can I do that on an otherwise black screen (desktop) (I don't want to use the visualizer with its psychedelic patterns).
Background:
I want to play music from iTunes (many pieces in a row - for like a full day). While this is happening I want the title etc of the tune to be displayed on the screen, like white smallish text against a black background in the lower right hand corner. At the same time I want slides to be displayed on the screen.
So, with iPhoto I can run a slide show but only while one piece of music is playing.
Instead I can have the desktop slowly change (from system preferences) with images from a folder every 5 seconds. That's not too bad. Looks good, actually, except for that annoying menu bar at the top! Well, black tape can hide that one (or a second display and move it over there). Now iTunes can play away all day.
As to how to get the title etc of the song playing displayed I was thinking about somehow extracting it from iTunes with applescript, then paste it into the text track of a quicktime movie, and display that little movie in a small window. I have figured out how to get rid of the controller from the window. But, I can not figure out how to get the title bar of the quicktime window to go away - that is I want a window with nothing around it, neither controllers nor title bar nor anything. How do I create such a window. Any good ideas out there?
Or is there a totally different way of obtaining the same effect?
Thanks.

Hi,
You could try posting at the QuickTime discussion area. There might be an iTunes visualizer that allows you to make a slideshow with track info. It has been a while since I tried making a SMIL file, but I think you could do what you want with that. Not sure how you create a streaming text of track information. I would have to do some reviewing.

Sound Virus - Any suggestions on how to get rid of it

The last couple of days I have sound playing in the background that is not from any program I'm running. Sounds like a **** playing but sound only no video. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it?

HI,
If a widget isn't the culprit, open System Preferences/Universal Access and selec the Seeing tab.
Make sure Voice Over is not selected.

How to get rid of iOS 7?

How to get rid of iOS 7?

It's not fair to say you should of previewed ios7. I did preview it on my husbands iPhone 5 and when I updated on my iPhone 4S, the response was not the same. I turned off all background app permissions and have the brightness set very low. The battery till drains about 3x faster than before. I have to charge very night where last month I charged every other day and sometimes even 3 days.
The interface is fine, but the battery doesn't last all day and I end a lot of time staring at blank screens waiting on stuff to load. I'm not talking about large things things either. Something as simple as sending my husband a one word text can take upwards of 20 seconds because once I press the ion to send a message, I stare at a blank screen for about 10 seconds before it loads.
