lbohen Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I'd like to remove (make transparent) all the white background and keep the white for the gazebo, fence and the word "Craftsbury". How do I do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 In APh make a selection of where it should only be applicable on and then "Filter > Color > Remove white background".

PaulEC Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Alternatively, if you have a problem selecting the exact area, select it as well as you can, then create a mask. You can then fine tune the selection by painting onto the mask.

R C-R Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Yet another way very similar to what @v_kyr suggested is to use the Flood Select Tool in Add mode to select the background & the 3 open areas in the gazebo, & then press the Delete key. I did that using your first screenshot to make gazebo.afphoto, which includes the history so you can see how few steps it takes.

lbohen Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 R C-R; Thanks so much. That's exactly what I was trying to accomplish. I'll reverse engineer it to learn how to do it. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
