Need help in making back groud all white

Need help in making back groud all white

 

Without knowing what you are working with, it is hard to offer a workable solution. Therefore, since you gave us nothing, just use a paintbrush and white paint.

 

I have photoshop not used it in many years it would be hard to white it all out without doing the graphic and text
can you suggest an easier program to use, I guess you have to create layers,
photoshop very difficult

 

It's not that difficult. You need to create a mask on the layer and then use a brush to turn it transparent. If you screw up at any point change the brush color from white->black or back again and it will color the foreground back in and you can then try again.

Thanks will study it, in the example the background is blue is it possible to substitute blue for white, then it would be done.
or in my graphic, the background is (wood) brown is there a simple way of changing it to whites like telling it to make everything brown white, it would be hard to paint around the text, etc.

 

Ok for that I refer you to this... green screen removal, similar process I'm guessing.

Hi there john wilkinson,

you can download this transparent png image...



...which will then allow you to use any background-color that you desire.

Thank's great idea I have a better quality image that I can open in Paint and save as Png, is png better to work with than .Jpg I know its losses
I think when they are uploaded here they are scaled down a bit.

Many thanks also to Greenhorn

 

Hi there john wilkinson,

keep the png image as a template for changing the background-color.

When you add a background-color then save the image as a jpg with
about 75% compression for the web.

Just to clarify PNG is completely lossless as an image format (but compressed). I'm not sure if you typo'd when you said "losses". It's far superior to jpg for preserving image data & the alpha channel is useful. Jpg is smaller and better to serve to site visitors. If ever you can get a hold of a SVG format image that is the best to work with in terms of scaling. You can scale those to the size of the side of a church and it will look just as good. They contain information on how to draw the shapes vs pixel data. If you type "guitar filetype:svg" into google images you can often find royalty free images. I doubt it's useful in this specific case, but might come in handy in the future.
