I need to remove the white in the face of the tiger. I have tried clipping path and pathfinder but is there an easier way then to do each object separately over and over.

@slfreeds Have you tried by deleting the fill color? Select a white layer go to the main menu menu, Select - Fill Color and hit delete.

So that was a vector image? It does not look like it.

For vector artwork, it is actually pretty simple.

Select all and in the pathfinder panel click on Merge (which is a button in the bottom row).

Then ungroup the result, select all the white parts and delete them.

If these are vector objects, did you try Live Paint and fill the areas with None?

Hello @slfreeds

Thanks for reaching out. Is this image a raster file like JPEG/PNG/etc.? If yes, kindly try the suggestions shared in this help article for using the Magic Eraser in Photoshop (https://adobe.ly/3YT3rxH) to see if it helps.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav

This is a vector image or raster? If you created it in Illustrator, you should just be able to delete the white fills. If it is a pixel image, it would be easier to delete the white in Photoshop if available. If not, you would need to create a very complex clipping mask.
