Hi everyone,

I purchased this image on shutterstock and can't remove the text from the bottom, i had assumed i could as it is filler text. I emailed them and they said yes it can be done in illustrator, but i have no idea how to do it.

I tried to just cover it up, but the background has a gradient on it, so it doesn't look great.

I would be grateful if anyone can help me.

thanks

I am hoping to get some additional info here as I'm also new to Illustrator and i have similar issue only thing is it's a gradient background so I cannot simply place a box over it. I was told I could use Illustrator instead of Photoshop here. Also, I purchased the image through Shutterstock but no layers appear in Illustrator. What can I do?

Use the Direct Select tool, which is the white arrow at the top right of the toolbar. Click on the text with the Direct Select tool to select it. Then hit your backspace or delete key to delete it.
