How to fill image and have transparent edges

Hi all,

 

I have an image (attached) that is currently transparent, which I'd like to have a white background and that bit is fine to do but because the image has curved edged and is within a rectangular box when selecting it, I also get a white background outside of the curved edges and it doesn't look great on any non-white backgrounds.

 

Is there a way I can have the solid white background within the image (drawn lines) without any solid colour outside

 

thanks

Oliver,

 

If the raster image (presumably created in Photoshop) originally had a white background both inside and outside the frame, and if you can still go back to that, you can just delete the contiguous white background outside in Photoshop.

Hi, 

 

I have the eps and AI files, so I can edit as needed. I want to set the background white but only to the black border line, which gives the impression of being hand drawn. The issue is that when selecting the image I have a rectangular selection box and the white background fills this too

Please show a screenshot that includes the Layers panel with everything visible in it.

Please show the outline view.

Please Show what you have tried and in which way it doesn't work (I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do)

Is that a placed pixel image?

You could apply a clipping mask.
