How to remove background from image?

Hello folks.
I am trying to incorporate some business logos into a brochure I am creating. The problem is, most of these logos have a white background. How can I remove this and make a transparent background?
Thanks!

Blend modes are your friend. always keep in mind that Multiply, screen and overlay affect the white, black and gray depending which one you choose.
Attached is a blend mode example from photoshop using a black to white gradient. The normal layer fills the document with.the blend layers on top with the gradient inverted.
This example is text naming the solid color backgrounds blended over a gradient.

How to remove background from raster image?

Hello folks.
I am trying to incorporate some business logos into a brochure I am creating. The problem is, most of these logos have a white background. How can I remove this and make a transparent background?
Thanks!

To remove and replace you have to use one of the selection tools first. I like the Quick Selection Tool. Depending on the contrast between the logo and background, and the degree of perfection you require this may need to be tweeked a little. Tweeking can be done like this. http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-russell-brown-show/masking-basics-in-photoshop-cs5/
The pen tool is a lot more accurate, but does have a learning curve.

How to remove background on image

Hi I would like to make the background on the attached image white and to manipulate the silver jewellery on the image attached so that it shows up clearly against the white.
I've tried all sorts of things but found that either the image blends into the background when white or the silver does not look metallic any more. I have around 100 images that I need to edit in this way for my website so any advise would really be appreciated.
Here is a link to some sample pictures

As you can see the back ground is different on each image and does not look professional.
Thanks in advance

Silver on white is very much contrast dependent and the base of that starts with the original photo. I think what you are looking for is a look like this.
This is just camera. For instance if you where taking photos of each piece, I would have the camera on a tripod and locked in position with the while layer drop to place each piece on. Each photo would be the same angle same lightness.
This issue you have trying to remove the white background is that silver is mostly white, so removing the background is very tricky from the start, also removing the background you remove the shadows that give it a more realistic appearance.
restaging and reshooting all the images would be much faster then trying to remove the backgrounds on a 100 images of silver pieces and make them look right.
You may concider a black satan background behind the silver pieces too black tends to show off the silver much more brightly then white would.

Remove background from Smart Build images

Hi,
I've just started creating my first project with Keynote, and so far it's terrific. The question I have is, is it possible to use the alpha tool, or something similar to remove backgrounds from images that I'm using for a smart builds effect.
Thanks,
Dave

Welcome to the discussions, Decaffeinated1.
The problem you're seeing is specifically with how Keynote copies images. Neither Pages nor Numbers has this problem. The problem and the solution is described here.
http://www.keynoteuser.com/news/?p=256
Basically, your choice is to copy through Pages or Numbers (or iWeb) OR to copy another object which will force Keynote to adhere to the transparency set with Instant Alpha.

Having difficulty using quick selection tools to remove background form images. Any help appreciated

Hello All,
I am trying to remove background from images using the 3 different selection tools. I start off fine, but ultimately the entire images keeps getting grabbed which ever tool I am using. It is easier if you are using a pro version of photoshop and not any of the elements versions? I have elements 11.
Thanks
-Deby

So much depends on the image itself to determine which tool is most appropriate. Another tool to try is the selection brush, where you literally paint in what you want to select.

Does anyone know how to remove vocals from an import from I tunes...a polyphonic stereo mix ?
If you are talking about some "Karaoke" method using Logic I'll try to offer one. Before that I must say that most of the Karaoke methods are based on reversing the Phase of one of the stereo channel and bussing or merging the stereo into Mono. The result is: killing all Pan Centered in the mix - like Main Vocal, Bass, Kick, SN ect.
The artifacts of the Stereo FX of the main vocal will stay in the Karaoke, cause the FX is stereo etc.
Here is the Logic Setup I can offer to try some Karaoke trick using Logic.
1. Import a Stereo mix into a Logic Stereo track.
2. Create another stereo track and duplicate (copy) the Original Mix region to the duplicated track.
3. Hard Pan L/R both stereo tracks.
4. Insert an EQ and Gainer plugins into the duplicated track (R).
5. Set the Output select of the both tracks to a Bus and assign the new Aux Track Switch mode to "Mono".
6. Open the Gainer plugin and thick the "Phase Invert" Right button.
7. To keep the "lowend" instruments like the bass and kick, open the EQ plugin and enable the Low Cut filter and try some Hz settings 80-115, or different Q which will sounds better for your Karaoke.
P.S Click the image below to show its real resolution!

The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000). Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space. I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone. I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone. I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this. Thanks for any help.

Photos taken with the phone can be deleted by selecting them and hitting the little wastebasket icon in the right bottom corner.
Photos you did sync to your phone, can only be removed by deselecting them in the photo pane in iTunes, the following sync will remove them from the phone.

How to remove Unicode from XML file

Anyone know how to remove Unicode from xml file? Can I remove the unicode by rebuild the file?
Thanks

These sort of error usually occur when you're using a different character encoding to read the file than the one you wrote it with. Perhaps if you were to post the problem section of the file and/or the code that created it in the first place.

How to remove Seperator from check-in and profile check in pages

How to remove Seperator from check-in and profile check in pages
The seperator is included on the checkin pages, which is present in the std_page with name "std_namevalue_separator", this is called by td_document_checkin_fields and std_document_file_fields.
Defination of include:
<@dynamichtml std_namevalue_separator@>
<$if not isUploadFieldScript$>
<tr>
<td width="<$captionFieldWidth$>"><hr /></td>
<td width="<$captionEntryWidth$>"><hr /></td>
</tr>
<$endif$>
<@end@>
I have to remove the following include from some of the profile check in page.
Please suggest if anyone have some idea, how to proceed.
Thanks,
Sumit

Without writing a component, you can put this code in the "side effects" box in the desired profile(s). This code removes the horizontal rule, and inserts a non breaking space in its place.
<$setResourceInclude("std_namevalue_separator","<$if not isUploadFieldScript$>
<tr>
<td width=\"<$captionFieldWidth$>\"> </td>
<td width=\"<$captionEntryWidth$>\"> </td>
</tr>
<$endif$>")$>YMMV. The non-breaking space may get stripped out in the forum.

How to remove text from .swf animation?

how to remove text from .swf animation? Can no find this text
in fla file. Flash 8.

exactly what 'text' are you referring to? text that you typed
on the Stage using the 'textTool'? simply select the text with the
'arrowTool' and hit delete.
If you are referring to a textField that you want to
eliminate after a certain amount of time, within your animation
sequence. first copy the text, create a new layer, paste the text
in place, then where you want to have the text 'disappear' insert a
'blank keyframe' at that point in the text layer.
OR place the textfield within a MC and remove it with code.
OR if the text is dynamic and you wish to use the position at a
later time, pass a value of null or and empty string to the field
at the point you wish. And there are other ways still. :) hope one
of these works for you.
