Does anyone know of any service that can put an image on a white background for me? I have someone that will charge me $25 per image. I would like to try to accomplish this myself without paying the $25 per image fee. Thanks!

I just sent her a text message with what you owe her... and a request to clean up another 40 for me, at your expense of course...Our Rosie (11 years old) used PS to clean up about 40 images for me during her spring break. (Shhhh... don't tell her what she could have earned elsewhere.![]()

There is a free program called GIMP for photo-editing , I would suggest going to ebay and buying an early version of Photoshop Elements (much cheaper) and it will do the trick...and if you really like it you can upgrade it. But for taking the background out, it's good. Use the Magic Eraser. If you want to palce the image and have only the image appear, save it as a PSD file, the background will be transparent. If you save it as a Jpeg, the background will be white.
Hope this helps. Sue
hm, I just tried that, and it opened a .psd file....I don't know about GIMP but you can't upload a .PSD file (it's a 'working' file only) and yes the background becomes white when saved as a .jpeg. The good thing in PS is that you have layers and can change the background at will by turning on/off layers. There is a way to save with a transparent background (as .gif or .ping) using Channels but then you run the risk of pixelated edges....yuk.

Well, you said you couldn't open a .psd file in Gimp, that it was a working file only...so I tried to open a photoshop .psd file with GIMP and it did work....What file extension were you trying to open?

oh ok...had not gotten into that much detail....oh well. So it would be good for doing simple .psd work and changing items to jpeg, etc. Well, that's not a bad free range of things to do for some people. Astart into the photo editing world anyway!Just downloaded GIMP. Looks like it opens only embedded .psd files (not original .psd files with layers), which I kind of figured. Otherwise PS would have a problem with that.
