OK. I hope this is not too urgent. I'm in NZ so I'm late getting back, but a guy has to sleep sometime.
What kit do you have? And does the jewellery have to be photographed with the lens axess perpendicular to it? I'm guess that you have A4 or 10x8 standard bond paper for your printer? Did you use a tripod, and does it have an articulating arm? Do you have external flash, or at least a strobe with an articulated head that can swivel upwards? How about one of those curley eTTL extension leads? A sheet of glass?
Get back to me on that, and we'll take it from there, but shiney stuff is a PITA, and especially with such fine detail. This is one of those times when it might actually pay to use a coloured BG so you could make a decent Alpha channel mask. It is always nice to be able to make a cutout and use layer styles to add shaddow. It gives a cleaner more professional look.
I took this a lighting workshop a couple of years ago, to demonstrate that you could do it with nothing but a camera mounted flash and some Macgyver thinking.

How can I remove an image background in pages?

I want to know how to remove image backgrounds just like how you do so through "instant alpha" on a mac.

Hi Erika,
Are you trying to save a portion of an image with a transparent background? It may help to post a screenshot of the image that you're working with as well as your layers panel.
I've included a few tips below that may help you with your situation. If you need additional help, please feel free to post again
Deleting a background and saving an image with a transparent background
1. Here I am working with an image of a santa hat that I've cut out from a white background. I have two layers, the cut-out santa hat and the original file. I'm going to delete the background layer so that I have just one layer - the cut-out santa hat:
2. You'll see that a checkerboard pattern has appeared behind the santa hat. This means that the background is transparent.
3. You can then go to File > Save As... and select PNG, Photoshop PSD, or TIFF from the Format dropdown menu. These file formats will save the cut-out portion of your image on its own, while preserving the transparent background.

How do I completely remove a background from an image & keep it as a .jpeg?

Hi , I already know how to remove backgrounds from images, and create a transparent background. However, I need to be able to use the resulting image in another program called Scratch. And as far as I know, it does not accept .tiff, .pgn, .psd or gifs.
How do I completely remove that background so that it doesn't show up white in other programs when I save it as a .jpeg?

Jpgs don't support transparency. It looks like Scratch may support pngs and other formats, but the transparency may not come through. From what I've read, you may have to use the transparency brush in Scratch to achive what you want.

Cutting out an image/ removing a background/ editing an image

With Sprout by HP you can remove objects from their backgrounds, also called extracting, cutting, or masking.
You simply select the image to create a preview, choose the part of the image you want to keep, and choose the part of the image you want to discard.
You can also zoom in or out to get more control over what you select.
You can check out How to Remove the Background with Sprout by HP to read more about this function.
I work for HP, supporting the HP Experts who volunteer their time and technical knowledge to help others.

In Photoshop use File > Save for Web & Devices and choose the GIF or the PNG format.
Note that the PNG has two versions, 8 bit or 24 bit.
Check the tranparency checkbox.
PNG (24 bit) provides the best result but also the largest file size.

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 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.

I'm trying to remove the background from pictures and PDFs.

Hello All, this is the 3rd or 20th time I've tried removing backgrounds. I install water equipment for a living and try to manage my website on my own. Each time my products change, my suppliers send me literature in PDF format. Sometimes I'm installing the equipment before I have the literature. I take pictures of every install I perform and would love to use my pictures without the dirty basement in the background.
I've spent hours trying to work with just one picture. All that fine detail, erasing, and zooming in and out, then click! I lose it, or can't save it, or it just doesn't work. I've watched tutorials, and watched it done right in front of me (on a PC) at my print shop. I thought I'd ask this community, because I've had 100% luck on here everytime.
So, can I use the same software to remove images from PDFs and backgrounds from pictures? Which do you recommend? I have Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Adobe ImageReady CS2. I also have Gimp that I downloaded for Mac. Since I've never been successful with any of them, I'm not sure which one is wasting my time.
Thank You,
Steve

Extracting images and removing backgrounds can be very complicated. There are many different techniques and methods for doing it: the trick is finding the right one for the image you're working on. Every image is different and what may work for one may not work for another. You can do all of the basic techniques in Photoshop CS2, though it's a little easier in newer versions. I'd recommend going through as many online tutorials on image extraction as you can tolerate. There are hundreds of them. (While I find him annoying to listen to, Russell Brown has made some excellent tutorials on the subject. Try this one to start.
While it is possible to edit an image embedded in a PDF, you really need Acrobat Pro to do it. Acrobat sends the image to Photoshop, where it can be edited, and then Photoshop sends it back to Acrobat after you're done. Or you can save it as a separate file. In the 20+ years I've used Adobe's stuff, I've never done that. It's usually much easier to do a screen capture of the image and then work on that copy. (There are some sizing and magnification issues involved with this, however.)
In Photoshop, pay particular attention to Quick Mask mode, learn how masking works, how to make a selection based on a color range, how to use the Pen Tool to make a path that can be used as a selection, and how to save and load selections. Getting a clean extraction takes a lot of practice and it's almost never quick or easy, but it's worth the effort to learn how to do it well.

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

Removing & Replacing Background in JPEG.

I am a newbie & relatively clueless on using Photoshop Elements 8 with Windows 7. I don't understand the technical terms and am a hands-on learner. I need to remove the backgrounds on some photos and replace it with a neutral background that isn't flat. I want the main image to appear on a single color fabric type background to give the image depth. I have tried the eraser tool but it will not work at all. I want a click & remove way if possible.

I used the Quick selection tool in PSEv.8 to select the cake and the pedestal, but the other selection tools may be used as well. You should see "marching ants" around the selection
Next I went to Layer>new>layer via copy. This places the selection on its own layer
I opened a new, blank layer underneath the layer created in step #2
I filled this layer with a pattern (Edit>fill layer>pattern -----used wood pattern, several to select from among those in the default library)
Hope that this is what you are after. One can make or copy other backgrounds, of course. The cake looks great, would love to have a piece!!

Should I remove the background of the photo ?

Should I remove the background of the photo with this app?

Yes, you can remove a background from an image with PS Touch. There are at least a couple of ways to do this. The simplest is to use the Eraser Tool; another way is to select the contents of the background and use the clear command.

Remove patterned background

I have PSE 10, how do I remove a background that has multi colors and patterns?

I just spent the last week figuring out how to remove hexagon patterns from older B&W photos. The best way is using
FFT transform to remove the pattern frequencies and inverse FFT to convert back the image. I could not get the FFT freeware
I found for PSE 11 to work so end up using searching the net to found GIMP with FFT plugin.

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!

ID 5.5 Interact. PDF, cannot remove white background for Multi-States and buttons.

Hi
I am working on an Interactive PDF Portfolio document. The problem I have is with Multi-State object feature with several buttons going to states that need to be exported as a SWF and imported back into InDesign 5.5. See, the background of my entire doc. is GREY, but when I import the SWF (as directed in Lynda.com videos correctly) and export the entire doc as Interactive PDF and view it in Adobe Acrobat Pro (version 10.1.1) is when all the trouble starts.
When I try to get rid of the WHITE background around the Multi-State objects and the buttons for them (using Select Object Tool and then control+click on it to change the Properties to Transparent Background Appearance) it does not change, even when I go forward and backward to the page.
Does the option of removing white background and making it transparent work only for Animation, but not Multi-State feature with buttons?
Can anyone suggest any other tecnique to create a nice slide show that works in Interactive PDF in ID CS5.5? Please..
Sincerely,
in need of help,
Eve

I have 8 Multi-State objects in one stack on the left and the 8 buttons for each state in the stack on the right. The background of my document is dark grey. There is space inbetween Multi-State objects and the buttons that show the grey background. But after exporting as SWF the Multi-States together with the buttons and placing the SWF back in the PDF file, the space inbetween Multi-States and buttons that is supposed to show the grey background appears white. The problem is that I cannot even change this white background to transparent in Acrobat Pro, as well. I used to do that to animations and it worked, but not in this case.

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!
