Clear Background

[Chef Medeski]

I have an image which has a white background, how can I make that clear? I only have graphic convertor so far.

I'm not really sure what the question is. Do you want to make the background transparent? Do you want to remove it?

Depends what type of graphic file it is.

What type of graphic file is it?

Either one really. I want to use this as an icon or logo, but I don't want the white box. If I could get it either transparent or better yet without the background, it would make it a lot more flexible. Thanks.

Have you photoshop? if you do it can be done in there I have done it for you, they are too big for attachments so will put them on my website for you

 

[Chef Medeski]

ohh really thanks. I don't have photoshop. Thanks a bunch for doing it for me. Just drop by with a link, thanks a bunch.

You'll need a full featured paint program that can do layers, alpha channels, and magic wands. Save it as PNG for full transparency.

I have the full res version but it came out to 1.3MB so I've uploaded a re-sized file that fits within attachment limits.

I'm afraid that didn't work. I copied the image and pasted it into Preview and then saved it into PNG and well it still has the background.

Are you trying to make an Icon out of it?

Have you got Keynote? or pages? you can drag it in there and the background should disapear.

 

[Chef Medeski]

Okay got it. Great thanks a bunch guys!

Yeah I tried to make it an icon and that didn't work. But in Word it has no background.

Can't really help you out on that bit, I'm not in front of my Mac, sorry.

No, I have it all done now. Without a background is how I wanted it in word. I put the file u gave me into an icon generator and now its an icon too. Pefect!!
