I need a few images for a document i am doing, but i have a fancy background, so when i inset them via clip art i get a white square around the edge.

would any one do me a huge favour and use thier photoshop software to remove the white background??

thanks

personally use a different package but if you want to upload the image somewhere I will download it and take a look for you.

if you wanna send it to me, i can do it (Photoshop CS2, best graphics program around)

i'm not sure how to upload images.

i have got them off google, if you do a search for "pen" in images, it's the fourth one along.

i have the images in a email that i could send you?

yes! would you be able to do it?

Lord_Chris

ohh ok, i see wha your trying to do. slight problem it is NOT possible just to select a transparent background around the image. Unless you have photoshop, you cannot recieve transparent background images because only PSP files allow this, if i convert it to a JPG or GIF it will put a white background in.

Sorry, you'll have to this yourself, nothing any of us can do.

oh bu**er! ok perhaps we will have to buy photoshop then!

thanks anyways....

Try this:

Is that of any help? I used Photoshop to select only the pen, then pasted it into a new image with a transparent background and saved it as a gif, it should work for you!

To save the image right click on it and choose the 'save image' or 'save image as' option, save it to your desktop (or wherever else) and try it out.

If not let me know and i'll take another look.

Don't encourage others to pirate software.

To the thread starter if you're looking for those types of images you could always use Hemera Photo-Objects.

Also use an affordable imaging software package like Ulead PhotoImpact, Adobe Photoshop Elements or (free) PhotoFiltre.
