GIMP :: Remove Background From Text?
Jan 30, 2014
I am trying to create a form with a watermark image in Publisher 2013 and the text I want to overlay on the watermark is cut from an image I screenshot, so it has a white background, making overlaying a watermark impossible. There are boxes and bubbles and other items that I really do not want to re-create so that's why I am trying to do this first, before re-creating the entire forms from scratch.
Anyway, what I want to do is A. remove all of the white from the background (even in the spaces between the e's an B's and everything; yes I know it is insane, but I like things to be perfect) and B. I would like to darken the text. Currently is is almost gray-ish and I want it to be black.

I have this image: [URL].......
I would like to remove the background from that. I read few tutorials but they have one color(shades of color) background and quite good contrast. They make hair white and bg. black. But in my image some hair are black and some white and they overlap each other. I found great plugin to Photoshop named Topaz Remask 3, but I haven´t PS.

I have chosen to use the eraser with fuzzy edge to remove the background from a dog subject. I created an Alpha channel and made a copy of the original image as suggested in the tute. When I begin to erase it works for a few stroke then stops erasing. By trial and error I found that If I select back and forth between the original and the copy it will erase a little on each but this seems to be an irregular way of doing the job and this is not what the tutorials show. What I erase shows up on both the original and the copy, that is they compound the erasing. Should this occur? Why can't I complete the erasing on just one image. While it does achieve the removal of the background I feel I am doing something wrong.

How to crop a photo to remove the background? Or do I need to go through several of the general tutorials before I can follow a tutorial on cropping?
I found a bunch of cropping tutorials on YouTube, but they used a lot of advanced (to me) terms and seemed focused on difficult situations.
I have 30-40 photos that are of wooden figures cut on a band saw. They do not have highly irregular edges like hair or fuzz.
I am hoping for a tool that can automatically follow the outline and then let me make any minor adjustments that may be needed.

I'm looking for a technique for removing the background from an image similar to the way noise canceling headphones work.
Prior to shooting the portrait, we took a picture of the background and then, without moving the camera, took the portrait so that we were left with two images, one with and one without the subject.
Noise canceling headphones cancel sound by emitting a sound wave that is the exact opposite of the sounds they pick up from the outside. I'm wondering if there is some technique that could be used to make all pixels in the background a specific color (by mixing with its "opposite") to then improve the functionality of the fuzzy select or select by color tools.

I have a basic image and I just want to remove the background and be LEFT just with the image (i.e. No white background).
I have opened the image with Gimp and on this image I was able to "add alpha channel" which I believe needs to be done. Do I need to do anything after I add the Alpha channel?
This is what I did next:
The image is 100% and background 1.1mb. Select Fuzzy tool and position cursor over the background and click. The image and the image background have the moving dashes going around them.
Next I hit the delete key and the background goes checkered. Still there are the moving dashes around the image and the background outer square. Next I hit autocrop and I am left with a reduced checkered background around the image.
My question - what do I do from here. I just want the image with no background what so ever; also is there anything I need to do with saving too.
Previously I have saved this and when I go to use the image it appears to be much the same as the original with a white background.

I rebuilt my line on white background from Rich2005 and Ofnuts. My latest version is darker, smoother higher res and wider (see attached).
The problem now are stray pixels, many of them unattached to the line itself. I spent a lot of time with an eraser, but still haven't gotten them all. THERE MUST BE A BETTER WAY!
I found this excellent link on the subject. [URL] RobA even has a script to do what I want. However, I don't think it is GIMP 2.8 compatible, as I can't seem to find it to run it.

I used the Flaming text effect, and I was wondering if there was a way to have just the text (with flames) and no background. I am trying to use this text to put on a video clip with effects, and would like to have the text on clip, but if I use the background You will not be able to see video effect I want behind the text. I tried the wand, and unless I missed a step or something different, it didn't work. I am a noob, but trying to learn.

We are trying to make a little art project with my daughter for her school, so my wife went and took pics of each of the kids in her class making a "heart shape" with their hands. I have the backgrounds that will go behind them all complete, so I just need to extract the hands. Well, I thought I was being smart by purchasing a green piece of fabric to put behind them, but this has almost caused more of a hassle. In the original hand picture, you cannot really see the problem, but after extracting the hands from the original, there is all kinds of green that has bled into the skin color of the kids' arms.

I am trying to create a network infrastructure diagram for where Iwork with Diagram.
For this I am putting into the diagram, images of: servers, switches,racks and so on. What I wish for those images is to have transparent background. So far, I've been able to find decent resolution imageswhich it's because I've started with the latest hardware.Here's an example, let's say for our Dell PowerEdge 6850 servers if found this: [URL] ....
which by fuzzy selecting the white background, with a threshold of15.0 and some selection subtractions I've been able to turn to: [URL] .... which is nice for what I wish to use it for.
Now, I've been able to handle some easy likewise situations but nowI've reached the vintage hardware and got bad results. Let me show an example image: [URL] .....
This is more difficult to make it look as I wish since it's resolution it's not decent and it also has a shadow effect which hardens a precise initial selection which can then be worked out to a better result.
After some efforts I either end up with a pixelized image or with a severely chopped image.
So, my question is how could I achieve the desired result for this and such images?

I need to remove the text saying "A Innland", but the background isn't quite the same at all points - the further right you go, the lighter it becomes. How would I go on about removing this? The text is ingrained in the picture, it's originally not a Photoshop file with a text layer on top. I am using Photoshop CS6.

I'm working on a site and the owner wants a new nav bar button. I opened one of the existing buttons in PS, it has a slight gradient background and the text is typed right on the background so I can't find a way to edit it (it's not on a separate layer), and so if I just erase the text it messes up the background.
How can one do this?

I have a picture of a girl in a dress. The background is white(ish) and some of the girl's dress is white as well as her blouse.
If I select the magic eraser tool the background is viped out, but parts of the skirt and shirt get wiped out as well... I've read somewhere how to solve this problem, selecting only certain "ranges" of a colour, so that not all the different whites' get erased...
Have also created some text and have added a drop shadow.. is there any way to get the drop shadow to be another colour than grey (i.e. green, pink, blue)..?

For quite some time I've been trying to find the best way to remove a white background from images. I've checked out the sticky thread on this forum and as my image isn't of great quality and because it features quite a lot of white that won't apply.
Recently I found this tutorial which is supposed to work great (as seen in the comments). However, I think that because of a GIMP update that won't apply anymore somehow. I was hoping you guys might know what was causing it.
Everything works well until I get to step 7, where I have to select to Alpha. There it selects just the outlines, but my selection includes inner parts of the image, not just the background. And then after I invert and delete, the white that remains still has transparent parts that show up on the upper layer. So, am I doing something wrong with the Alpha to Selection, is that tutorial updated or is there a better way to remove the background from ie. a logo with just one background colour which isn't of great quality.

I need to remove the '.com.au' from this jpeg version of a logo I have to use it for a magazine print file I am working on in indesign. I have opened the file in Illustrator (it is a very large file because it was designed for outdoor sinage.) and I thought I had better ask about the best way to do it without it affecting image or print quality.

I'm using illustrator cs6. i did a smoke text in photoshop and saved it as png-24 file.I wanted to vectorize the smoke text in illustrator.
So i placed the png files and image trace it with high fidelity photo as my preset.
I tried out all the preset,mode and so on,but it changed my smoke effects.That's why i chose high fidelity photo,bt i can't check the ignore white box, i can't remove the background.I tried low colour.but the smoke part become white colour ,obviously when i change the background colour.
Second method that i used was image trace(high fidelity photo)>expand>ungroup>delete the white part..but it doesnt work...

I created some text, and then immediately clicked text along path. it created some weird little pink pixely shape. if i keep clicking it it makes more. And i can't get rid of it.
It's above every layer, and it's not actually on a layer. If i hide, or even remove, every single layer it is still there. How can i delete these weird shapes that i erroneously made with the text along path tool?
[URL] it's that weird spot about mid screen, and the text in the bottom left. i just can't figure out how to remove that stuff

Downloaded g'mic plug-in ver 1.5.6.1 just yesterday. I was looking to use "Anisotropic smoothing". It takes the rough edges off text.
Why it's not on the plug-in and or any other way to remove rough edges from text. To be used for a logo.

I'm just getting the hang of GIMP and up and running on a project, until now. For some reason, I'm not able to get the kind of selections I want from using the Path and Scissors tools. Large pieces of the letters get cut off and its frustrating to say the least. I've heard about the edge logic problems and actually found out how to use the Path tool as a result. This still happens with Scissors after I've jacked the contrast all the way up, and its already in bw.
Now the obvious fix would be to just type what I'm wanting and go from there which should be simple. BUT, I'm not quite to the point where I can build it from scratch and the font is fairly specific.

i have been doing HTML off and on for a few years but am really starting to get really heavy into it, as well as CSS and other tools...and have just discovered GIMP
i have an image..which happens to be my business card and to begin with, it was an .eps file, but i converted it to a .jpg...what i am wanting to figure out, and do with it is use it for my web page i am building
it has a background on it and on top of it it has my text...i am wanting to keep the text also, but my main concern is to use just the background for my website....how is extracting the back ground away from the text possible in GIMP and also saving the text as well.

Basically, I'm trying to extract the text from the attachment showing below so that I can transfer it somewhere else. I seem to be getting stuck on the "Path from Text" part, I'm using it, but nothing happens. Do I need to be using the tool for all of the letters individually? but I've spent ages trying to sort this out.....Driving me bonkers. I'm using GIMP 2.8 BTW.

I have an image. I want to add a solid color strip near the bottom . On top of the strip I want to add text .
Question: what's the best way I can get this strip?
In Photoshop, I would probably just create a new image of the length of the strip and then fill with the color I need and then copy and paste onto the image .
