Also got the layers reversed. William Stoesser. This might convince you. Fri Aug 24, pm Hey st3f, Got method 2 to work. I’m sure I’m just not getting something. Method 2 – Clipping masks for the win. To make a selection from a mask, click on the mask and select Load Selection from the edit menu.

One-click background removal – Pixelmator Pro Tutorials

Home Pixelmator Pro How do I make white background transparent? Follow thread. Mon Sep 21, pm I’ve got an image which includes text and a picture on a white background. I’d like to make all of the background transparent, including the white spaces within the letters. With lower settings, areas become only partially transparent. Sample All Layers With this option selected, the Smart Erase tool takes into account every single layer in your image, although it erases only the selected layer.

Smooth Edges Naturally smooths the edges of erased areas. Turning this option off erases edge pixels completely, resulting in a little more precision but a with jagged look. The Tolerance label shows you how much of any similar colors the Smart Erase tool will erase. Right click on the original and select Create Clipping Mask. This will apply the opacity information of the lower layer to the colour information of the upper.

I’ve assumed you’re using Pixelmator 3. If you’re using Pixelmator Pro only Method 1 will apply and menu items will be in different places. Hope this helps. Let me know if you get stuck and post an image if you do. It’ll be easier to show you either of those methods with your own image. Fri Aug 24, pm Hey st3f, thanks for reply.

Think of a Jackson Pollack with 10, pixels of black and the other , pixels are different colors. How would you select just the 10, black pixels if you want to turn them all transparent? So, not sure how to even attempt method 1 or 2. I’m sure I’m just not getting something. I have too many black pixels that are too spread out to select them all individually.

It would be cool to just be able to manipulate the underlying HEX code. Fri Aug 24, pm Jackson Pollock? Method 2. Definitely method 2. It’s not as complex as it sounds. Trust me. This might convince you. Jackson Pollock: Jackson Pollock with transparent black and a hideous vibrant green showing through from below.

Might be overkill to learn just to edit one image, though. Fri Aug 24, pm Hey st3f, Got method 2 to work. Also got the layers reversed. Sat Aug 25, am Yay. Glad to hear it worked.

I refused to believe that such a great app as Pixelmator does not have an easy way to do this, so I did poke around a little bit and found out that it is actually very easy to do in this version. So I thought I might just share this, for those who would like to accomplish the same: In Pixelmator Pro you can simply use “select color range” for this. You can reach it via the vertical tool bar on the right hand side of the applications window.

The 5th tool from the top is the icon for “quick selection”.
