I need the white boarders of the feather pic deleted. How do I do this please?

[SRenee]

Hi I am a beginner and I cropped my picture of the feather and there is white boarders around it. Not sure why? I don't want boarders. Can you help me please?

You will have to analyze that in Photoshop.

The centre  is a photo - a feather/ black background ?

And behind it is a black circle and text made in Illustrator.

You should be able to select the photo

and use the 'crop image' in Illustrator to crop off the white.

Maybe with  everything selected, show the layers panel, with the layers expanded  (click, >  to do that)

then someone here will be able to help more.

Ray's cropping advice would work or you can try a 'clipping mask' and just mask only the part you want visible

It looks like you're making a logo, but the raster image of the feather seems a little too low resolution. You might try Image Trace to convert it to vectors. Conversions aren't always perfect, so you might have some tweaking to do. Here's more information on using Image Trace How to edit artwork in Illustrator using Image Trace. Then once it's a vector, you can select the white border and delete it. And as a vector, your logo will be resolution independent.
