Many times you find images with a white background
and you want to remove it.
|
|
|
|
Open your image in PSP.
|
Select the Magic wand 
then the Tool Control button 
|
For this one I set as above, but each image is different, so you
may have to play with it.
|
She is surrounded with white and a small spot by her back. First click
where the small red dot is. Then Hold the Shift
key down and click where the large red dot is.
Next chose Selections>Invert.
|
Now you see the marching ants around the image.
|
|
Next we want to see if all the white is removed, so we will Edit>Copy
|
Open a new image with these settings, I made the width & height
larger than the image
but you want the Background color set at Red so you can see what
you're doing.
Click OK, then Edit>Paste>and chose As New Layer
|
You can now see any white still left in the background.
I want to remove not only the little bit of white remaining but
the black part
under her also. So zoom in on the image, and click on the
eraser  .
Then your tool control
Set the size and shape for the eraser, and then erase all the parts
you don't want.
|
|
|
After you have all the white and black erased you have a Layer
that you can
put in another image of your choice or make some stationary with
your own background.
|
|
So let's say I want to put her in another image like a forest.
|
Open the image you want to use and then, if your Layer Palete isn't
opened
click the 
button.
|
|
| If put your mouse on the Layer1 and hold it down you can drag the image
onto the other image
of the forest, and then move it where you want it.
|
|
|
The image you work with will no doubt be different, but the principle
is the same.
As an added note I was using a .jpeg image for this. If you
have one that's a
.gif, you have to convert it first to a .jpeg.
