Pull white background from pattern for layer.

Hello,  I have a simple clothing pattern I want to make a 3d Texture from which I can do however what I would like to do is make a layer out of the white background around the template with the marked pattern areas as transparents so after I paint the main template clothing ares, I can place the white background with transparent areas back in as a layer to cover where I paint or fill over the marked template area. Is this possible, if so, how?
I am working in CS5 Extended.
Hope I explain that correctly.
Thanks in advance for any help
Kimberly

Kimberly, here is a simple method to make the cutouts slightly large so that white seams don't appear on the textured model. Make sure to use the settings that are highlighted in the screenshots.
Open the t-shirt template file
Magic Wand Tool
Click anywhere in the big white area surrounding the t-shirt pieces.
Select > Modify > Contract… try 2 pixels at first
Press Cmd+J (Ctrl+J on Windows) to copy the selection to a new layer.
Hide or remove the original layer.

    You could make it a layer if it isn't already, then use the Layer Style dialog and set the Blend If parameter so that it will make light colors transparent...
    You can composite it into a web page with transparency by saving it as a PNG file, as JJMack has noted.

  • How do I remove the white background from a drawing

    I have Elements 10 and I have scanned in a drawing and need to remove the white background from the drawing.  Can someone please help me with this?

    Double-click the background layer to make it a regular layer.
    Use the magic wand and click in the white (experiment with tolerance level), make sure contiguous is NOT checked.
    Press Delete.

  • Is there a way to remove the white background from clip art

    Is there a way to remove the white background from clip art?

    And replace it with what? transparency? You'll need to work in a format that supports that like png or psd. So you'll need a good editor too.

  • How do I remove a white background from clipart in PowerPoint 2008 for Mac?

    I have several clip arts that are in .jpeg and .png format.  These are of somewhat irregular shapes, and are on a white background.  I want to eliminate the white background so that I can use these clip arts on colored backgrounds.  I know that there is a simple way to do this in MS PowerPoint 2008 for Mac, but I've forgotten how.  Can anyone help?  Time is of the essence.  Thanks in advance.  - Mark

    I still use Office 2008 but have not encountered that issue. However, as Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
    Office for Mac
    Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.

  • How Do I: Remove White Background From a Non-Standard Sized PDF?

    Hello. Been a little while since I was last here.
    My issue is pretty simple. I am creating a PDF in Acrobat Pro X from MS-Word 2007. My document is landscaped half-page sized (US), so dimensions are: 8.5" wide, 5.5" high.
    When I attempt to print to PDF, the dimensions come out correctly, but there is a white background which is the size of a landscaped 8.5" x 11" sheet. Against this background, the 8.5" x 5.5" area is situated (nearly) centered vertically, but "right-justified" horizontally (see image). I need to find out how to fix this.
    Here's what I know:
    In MS Word:
    For "Page Setup" (under Page Layout tab):
    - under Margins tab, orientation is landscape;
    - under Paper tab, "Paper size" is "Custom size", with Width 8.5", Height 5.5" ;
    - No changes under Layout tab.
    For "Preferences" (under Acrobat tab)
    - under Settings tab, "Conversion Settings" are a custom setting ("Advanced Settings"), with "Default Settings" of Width 8.5 inches and Height 5.5 inches.
    When I Print > Adobe PDF:
    For "Properties" in Print window:
    - Under Layout tab, "Orientation" is "Landscape" ;
    - Under Paper/Quality tab, "Paper Source" is custom with Width 8.5" and Height 5.5".
    - Under Adobe PDF Settings tab, "Default Settings" is "High Quality Print (Custom)" with (Custom) being the settings I set under Acrobat > Preferences.
    - Also under Adobe PDF Settings tab, "Adobe PDF Page Size" is custom with Width 8.5" and Height 5.5".
    The result is pictured above.
    The last thing I did before posting this was run Help > Repair Acrobat Installation in Adobe X. Any suggestions? You can't do worse than I have.

  • Need white background on photos for website, can anyone help?

    I dont have and dont know how to use photoshop but
    have been told its what I need for this job. I am upgrading my website and have quite a few photos
    that need a white background putting around them to make them clean and proffessional. Can anyone help me out? Am willing to pay for time. Typical
    example is pic below. Need just the machine and not any of the messy background?

    thanks for all the replies, very helpful. I could download a trial but fear even basic things would take an age for me to master.
    Very nice graphic Noel Carboni, exactly what im after. Would you consider doing the photos? I have maybe 15 of them max I would like doing.
    Re-taking pictures of a lot of them is not an option as they were special build machines and not our usual stuff.

  • HOW 2 REMOVE WHITE BACKGROUND FROM JPG OR GRAPHIC?

    I am trying to "knock out" the white background on some logo art that I am using on title pages. The logo art was supplied to me in both PSD and JPG format. I can certainly use photoshop to remove the white and save in layers, but when I import and place, the white comes back. Thanks in advance!

    You need to save the PSD as a TIFF file or PNG with transparency enabled.
    Simple way: separate your logo and background in Photoshop.
    Make sure that the unprotected area is your logo. Press command C to copy.
    Go to File > New > Film and Video Presets. Choose one that matches the pixel dimensions of your project. Make sure that Background color is set to Transparent. Click OK.
    Paste your graphic (command V) into the transparent template. Save as above.

  • Remove white background from an outlined photo

    I'm going crazy. I have a photo with a clipping path done in Photoshop CS3. All I want to do is place the photo in Illustrator CS3 on top of a colored background but every time I try, I get a white box around the photo. I've tried dragging from the PSD's, placing the photo with the background removed from Photoshop all to no avail. I thought if you made a Photoshop clipping path it would make everything outside the path transparent.
    Please, please help me.
    Marcia

    Larry and Marcia it is not necessary to have the image on one layer and another layer below
    that is also transparent. Just click on the background layer's name in photoshop to make it transparent then remove the unwanted areas of the image. save it as an unflattened .psd file and when you bring it into illustrator the image will remain transparent and you will be able to see objects below the areas of the image that are transparent.
    I also think that the reason this did not work with the clipping path is that the clipping path was not a clipping path but just a path. Creating a path and saving the file as a .psd will do you know good unless you save the path and then make that saved path a clipping path using the commands from the path's panel drop down menu.

  • HOW DO I Make White Background of an Image layer transparent?

    i used photoshop to open a photo with a person and background and delete the background so that now it's white with the person still fully intact.
    I open the file in and lay this image layer on top of another video layer track in fcut express and hoped that the background would be gone so it would look like my person is in the movie. I saved the pic as JPEG even tried it with GIF and then selected the SCREEN option or the subract or the alpha and nothing makes it transparent .how?
    fcut express 3.5.1

    yes, use psd (tiff or png) format. jpg will not work.
    also, make sure you delete the "background" layer in photoshop. the picture should appear then sitting on a checkerboard indicating transparency. the background layer in photoshop by itself is not transparent by default.

  • How to stop the white arrow from selecting all layer shapes

    Hi Everyone, I just switched from cs6 to CC. I was very accustomed to this. If I wanted to say make a rectangle shape wider, first I would have the layer shape selected in the layers menu, next I would select the white arrow tool, then I would clicking/drag to select certain points on a shape. Once those points were selected I would just use shift and the arrows keys to extend my shape. Now if I attempt to do so with creative cloud photoshop, if there are any other shapes in the same area, the white arrow tool will select all shapes points, which doesnt make sense to me b/c I still just have the "rectangle shape layer selected in the layers menu". Can anyone help me out? Hopefully I explained myself well enough.

    If you look at the tool options bar with the Direct Selection Tool (white arrow), do you have Select set to Active Layers?
    Have you updated photoshop cc to version 14.2.1?

  • How do I change a background from white to transparent??

    Hello! Am new to the forum, hope you can help me. Am using PSE vers. 1, Windows XP, and want to eliminate the white background from an image and make the background transparent, so that ONLY the image shows on a webpage. Have used the wand to outline the image, and put it on the Layers palette, but that's as far as my very limited knowledge is taking me. Is there any way to "separate" the image from it's background, leaving just the image visible? Will very much appreciate any advice you can give, or links to some help in this area. Thank you very much! :)
    P.D. Allen

    Since you have the object you want on a separate layer, you are most of the way there. You need to turn off the visibility of the background layer (click on the eyeball next to it in the layers palette) -- you will then see a grey checkerboard pattern appear -- this is the way Elements shows transparency. Now to to File>Save for Web and select GIF as your output file format -- be sure to check the Transparency box. GIF, unlike JPEG, recognizes transparency.

  • Removing white background around image in Illustrator

    I used the custom shape tool in Photoshop to make a paw print and then took it into Illustrator and used the Live Trace tool to vectorize it (as the image will be used in an Illustrator file). Now I cannot figure out how to remove the white background from around it. I have a gradient behind the image and must have the white box removed from it. I'm sure the method is probably quite simple but I am rather new to Illustrator so would greatly appreciate any advice! Thank you!!

    Sounds a pretty crooked workflow. Create the paw as a a path in Photoshop, select it with the path tool, copy&paste it into Illustrator. Works much better and avoids all pitfalls. For your trace problem: Make sure to choose Ignore White.
