Someone help me please!!!!! This is driving me mad. I am importing an image I have sketched on my iPad and want to cut out all the unwanted white so it becomes transparent. I first image trace the image and then expand. I then use the direct seletion tool to select the bits I want to delete. When I hit delete the white goes but it turns to a solid colour rather than deleting and leaving the unwanted section transparent. Any ideas?
