mattius.m Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I want to remove the white from this image, I've adjusted the Levels so the whites are completely white & blacks are completely black. I've gone to the selection tab & tried the 'Select sample colour' but i can't find a way to make it work. I've spent the last 3 hours looking at youtube tutorials, FAQ's & forums yet i have no idea what i'm doing right or wrong, please help.

mattius.m Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 don't worry, i figured it out. I went to filters, then colours, then erase white paper. i hope this helps someone John Rostron and jc4d 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 If this is to overlay an image you could use Blend mode: Multiply this effectively makes white transparent. Blend mode: Screen does the opposite, that knocks out the black. mattius.m 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Ventura 13.6, iMac 27" Late 2013 running Catalina 10.15.7 - Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

Is there a simple way to select a color from an image and just remove a specific color (other than white)? - Gary Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Select > Mark Selected Color", adjust the color tolerance and afterwards hit the "delete" key.
