Aff. User Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Dear community, I'm really desperate. I've been trying to remove a background from a vector for days. In the foreground is fire and that's just what I want to put over my actual project. I was hoping that would work and the background can be solved. However, it is not a separate layer and the square background is integrated in the fire layers. I am looking for a way to choose the fire without the background. For example, this photo is here: https://www.shutterstock.com/de/image-vector/-fire-flames-set-383133061realistic ... whereby this square background is included with many vectors. A normal clipping does not lead to success because the background shines through. I am totally grateful for every tip. Edited May 24, 2020 by Aff.

firstdefence Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 If the square background is in the image and grinning through the flames then it is not a vector image but a screenshot (raster image used for promotion, you would need to log into your shutter stock account and purchase/download the vector file if a vector file exists..

Aff. User Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Thanks for the answers. I directly loaded the vector file again as .eps from my Shutterstock account. Unfortunately, it is the same picture. There are different layers, but the background is distributed across all layers. I was hoping there is a background layer to turn off. Unfortunately, the fire cannot be used for me because I cannot get the background resolved. I just need the fire. I was hoping I was doing something wrong. With other Shutterstock vector graphics, I could always hide the background and use the individual elements without a background. Thanks also for the links. However, I need the fire for a commercial purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
