Export image without white background
Hi,
I have extracted an image from the background and trimmed it. However, the trim still leaves a little box around my image (even though the background is gone i.e. there is a tiled background). However, when I save the image as a jpeg (or anything else) it still produces the background.
How can I export JUST the image without a white background? Thanks!
Anthony

JPEGs do not support Alpha channels…
Make an alpha channel…. then save PICT, TIFF, or TGA

Thanks for you reply,
Unfortunately, I still get the white background in TIFF and the other formats…
I am trying to make just an arrow so I can paste it in vegas pro video I am making, but I am trying to get rid of the white background…
Is there something I am missing about what you suggested? I created an alpha channel (and the image turned a bright red) and then I saved as a TIFF (and the other formats) but the quicktime viewer still shows a while background….

Did you even WATCH the video I posted…
you need to MAKE an ALpha Channel…. then save in a format that SUPPORTS alpha channel and INCLUDE it in your save.
Watch the video in the response above

Thank you for the video it was certainly informative…
Unfortunately I am still getting the white background…which raises the question of whether my programs support what I am trying to do.
When I open the tiff file I use quicktime viewer, and when I try to import the image into my video, I am using Sony Vegas. Are these programs not compatible with what I am trying to do?

UPDATE!!!!!!!!
The issue was the formating. Sony Vegas cannot use TIFF…BUT, if you render as a PNG you do not get the background.
Thanks for the help!

I need only image without background for HMI Touchscreen so plz guide me

save it as a gif or png ether one will work without the background, if you save it as a jpeg it will leave a white background even if you started your project transparent.

Thanks;
