deleting the background from an image

[Beverly Erdman]

I'm very new at this so if 98% of the audience knows the answer I'll know I've come to the right place. I would like to insert an image into my banner, but don't know how to remove the white background without using Paint, with which I'm not very successful.
Answers, please. And thank you.

Hello!

The image is not showing .. can you e-mail it to me please? jeremy@bwservices.ca I also need to know what color you want your background.

If you would like to take the white off you will need some kind of photo editing software or graphic programs like Fireworks or CS2 series etc.

Hey!

I can't really take off the background unless you tell me what you want in back or what color or if you have Fireworks Pro 8.

Jeremy, I don't have Fireworks. I want to put the image on a marquee banner that I created because the header I wanted to use isn't deep enough for the image. The marquee background color I'm using is maroon. But if this is becoming too big a deal, too much effort, I'm happy to have the image appear on the white background it came on.

Maroon it is ..

There you go! Just click on it to enlarge it and you can save it. Is this what you wanted?

Jeremy, you can't imagine the improvement in the header with the insertion of the maroon-background image you provided. How'd you do that?

A handy link for removing backgrounds, adding transparency to an image is this, resizes, etc., even animations ... works with most backgrounds, it's free to use too!
