Removing a Background From an Image - Transparent

[Sara5CA1]

Hi! I have an image that had a white background and I was able to remove most of it. But, since it is text, there are still some letters that come with a white background and I cant figure out how to make it transparent. Do you guys have any ideas? So I want the white behind the P and some of the other letters to go away..

What did you do with it? Image Trace?

I followed a YouTube video and I think it was Image Trace.. he had us click on the item and click delete and it removed the background completely. So, part of it is good, but the areas in the letters are not. If I remove the white in the letters, it will make the P all black and not look like a P.

WHen using Image Trace you can just check the option "Ignore White". Then trace and expand.

You will get a better result when you identify the font and then recreate it.

Or even better: Ask Microsoft for a vector version. If you use this without a license, then they will be after you anyway.

Thanks! I will see if I can get a vector version from Microsoft.
