emmsy Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I am new to all this and just want to change the background of my picture to solid white, the background is not a complicated one, it is pretty much the same colour, I have searched all forums and can not do it, any help would be much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeek Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 You could use the Magic Wand and delete the background then fill it in with white. Or, make a new layer , fill it in with white, and delete the background (Making it transparent) by using the wand again or the paint bucket. Hope that helps...

HellSpawn Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 ok, ill explain this: the magic wand tool is a tool that where when you click and area, it searches for things of similar color and selects them for you, now you use the magic wand tool and select your background, if it does not select all the background you want to hold down ctrl and click the parts it did not select for you. then to delete it when you have everything selected that you want to delete just press the delete button on your keyboard. also if you find magic wand selecting more than you want, then you will see right above the tools something called tollerance, tollerance is how tollerant to the shades of color you want the wand to be. less tollerance selects less shades of the same color, so if you were trying to select light blue from dark blue you would want a lower tollerance. more tollerance will select more types of that particular shade.

Myrddin Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 As an alternative you could also try this tutorial: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=4841 Obviously instead of deleting the background once selected just press the Backspace key on your keyboard with white as your primary colour.
