xpaperman 719 Posted September 19, 2015 What's the best way to remove the background in a jpg? This could not be an easier one to do. Simple signature done with sharpie on a white piece of paper. When scanned the paper scans too. I want the signed with no background. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PatrickR 37 Posted September 19, 2015 If you have Photoshop, go to- Image>Adjustments>Threshold. This will create a black and white image with no middles. The setting is adjustable and should work for this purpose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xpaperman 719 Posted September 19, 2015 thanks for the info! I used the stencilgram that Primal suggested. I didn't really remove the background but got it to a state that I could clean it up in corel photo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dcbevins 340 Posted September 19, 2015 Corel Photo has a cutout lab built in I believe. If you don't use the lab just use the magic wand tool and set the tolerance to an acceptable value. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OWJones 1,981 Posted September 20, 2015 I saw this posted before. https://clippingmagic.com/ I have a subscription to Clipping Magic and use it regularly - I am *NOT* an artist and not good with digital manipulation of raster based images and so a tool that does most of the work for me where I just have to highlight the parts I want to keep and the parts I want to get rid of works great for me. It costs me $2.99 per month for 15 credits per month (1 image download = 1 credit) and I had stockpiled a bunch of credits, but I've done a lot of bitmap work recently and used up most of my stockpile... If you have Photoshop or PhotoPaint or other software, they all include similar features, but require a lot of twiddling and adjustments to get the same result and my time is worth more than what it costs to maintain a subscription to Clipping Magic. It costs me about $0.20 to download a finished image and saves me several minutes of fiddling and fine tuning, so I consider it a bargain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Flaming Eyeball 4 Posted February 20 At what level does Vinyl master unlock the transparent background? I have 5.0 LTR.....frustrating to keep upgrading for a single tool enhancement. It seems it used to work previously as well....not sure how I did it though, didn't use any other software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,600 Posted February 20 I don't believe JPG supports transparencies. Try exporting as a PNG and see if you get that option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haumana 1,185 Posted February 20 I don't believe JPG supports transparencies. Try exporting as a PNG and see if you get that option. Correct. (original).jpg does not support transparent background. Raster file formats that support transparency: TIFF, GIF, PNG, JPEG 2000, TGA, and BMP. PhotoShop Elements is a good tool, and reasonably priced when you find it on sale. It has a perpetuity license (unlike the standard PhotoShop). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
