To remove the background color from an image
Burn Out Background lets you mask a motif at the time of scanning by digitally removing (“burn-
ing away”) the background. It works best when the background has only one or a few fairly con-
sistent colors.
For general information about working with the color tools – see page 242.
1 • In the feedback window, double-click on the part of the image you want to change.
2 • Open the Burn Out Background window.
3 • Click on Add.
4 • In the color bar that appears in the Burn-Away Thresholds list, click to set the slider so the
desired burn-away level is achieved in the feedback window.
5 • Repeat with additional colors if necessary.
6 • To remove a color from the Burn-Away Thresholds list, click on its color bar and then on
Remove.
