Hi Friends,

 

I have a vector image (png) that has a transparent background. I want to remove a part of that image. How do I do that and preserve transparency?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Stwoods,

Note: images can't be a vector image. Vector formats are different like eps, ai, svg etc..

In your case open png image in photoshop and remove background part. It's a very easy process.
Please have a look on given link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fuEffoomCU

That link will help you to understand  that. Let me know if you still need any help .

Thanks

»I have a vector image (png)«

That’s oxymoronic, png is not a vector format. 

 

Please post the image in question or at least a screenshot with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Channels, Options Bar, …) visible. 

 

Try applying a Layer Mask to the Layer.

Forgive my ignorance on the vectors.

 

I want to remove the head and body but keep the rest.

• Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal All 

• paint out or use the Selection Tool to hide the parts you want to remove by making them black in the Layer Mask
