- Remove the white background on your drawing and make it transparent, so you can paint it below the line. Note: For five years this video's music was Dragon Ball's Namek tune. But since I got a copyright infringement notice I had to change it. I'm sad. Very sad.
![How To Remove White Backgrounds in Photoshop [QUICK & EASY WAY!]](/img/n.gif)
Hello! If you found this video useful, please tip me with the $uper Thanks button. This will be much appreciated!
lol
to this day your tutorial is to the pioj t and effective, others are cunfusing as fuck
I don't even care if this doesn't give me the end result I needed. This tutorial was hilarious with the extravagant music and text.
7 years later, this video is still useful. Thank you legend.
select all
edit,copy
create new layer
delete original layer drawing
paint black-add a mask
ALT+ click on mask
edit,paste
image,adjustments,invert
click on layer
click on mask
delete mask
done!
You forgot to add: brush your teeth 😁
You can simply choose Select --> Color Range --> White --> Inverse -->Copy --> Paste --> Delete background....
Color range doesn't work so accurate with inkings you have scanned. This is much better
I dont know what you just told me to do but it totally works. lol 10 seconds flat.
Yo this is absolutely big brain, thanks!
This worked, shoutouts!
How do you cop on imac
I love how the people on TH-cam teach me things, years after having posted their videos! This helped me do what I wanted to do. To the point tutorial. Thank you

*****Easier way!!!!! Go to select, then color range, and select the color you want to delete with the eyedropper select ok and delete it.
using that way the result is not 100% perfect
...but it saved me a ton of effort. Thank you! Perfectly fit m purposes!
thank you Adam!! Best method!! fit my purpose too.
Soma Szebellédi welcome :)
Juda Holanda welcome :)
For anyone watching that ended up with a transparent image: before you do everything else in the video, apply a brightness and contrast and crank the contrast. In my case, what I thought was black was really a slight gradient, so this made it work properly. In some instances it's required me to add max contrast, merge the layers, then repeat several times.
Thank you for this, it took out the paper texture as well.
I've come here like 10x because I always forget and know this is the best tutorial on it
i'm here like once a month. it's the best!
hahahahahaha
hahaha really happy to hear this! I'm glad this helps! :)
now I understand why this vid has so many views...
X)
You have no idea of the things I was doing before I realised this was possible
not only easy, the best of this is that it works perfect! :)
You can try this Photoshop action for really quick results
www.photoshopsupply.com/actions/remove-white-background-photoshop
Same here, being Photoshop user since about 15 years now and never thought about this methode, very smart use of mask thanks (y)
I'm afraid to find out.
Holy crap ! Thank you so much for posting this. I’ve been watching videos for an effing hour trying to figure out what you’ve done in like 30 seconds. I thank you sincerely. Love from Pennsylvania xo
Is there a trick to pasting it into the mask? Mine won't paste, it makes a new layer with the picture.
YOU ARE AN ANGEL! Thank you for creating this EASY to follow video. You just saved me hours of time. I love you and don't even know you!
I come back to this alllllll the time as a graphic designer lmao This is my all time favorite video ever
The easiest to follow and straight to the point tutorial I've seen yet. Thanks!
this is the best. no beating around the bush narration. straight to the point video.
Ahh, Thanks dude! Best tutorial on this by far. I will brush my teeth this night honouring you!
or: select-- colour range-- pick white (it only selects it) go to edit-- cut, and you're done
you just helped me out, appreciate you brotha
Thanks bro, legend!
Me: There must be a quicker and easier way
*looking at comments*
Luca Szabó: I got u
sure, if you select #FFFFFF, with a fuzziness of 0, it'll only pick out #FFFFFF, and leave #FFFFFE and give you all sorts of fuzzies you didn't want... but set it to a fuzziness of 10 and it starts eating your pinks and yellows, too.
this also leaves out some parts that are still white tho
Awesome!! The shortest video of removing white color, and it´s all we need to make the job ... and the music rock it!!!
This worked amazingly with sketches with different saturations, thank you so much!!!
THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I LOVE PEOPLE WHO GO STRAIGHT TO THE POINT SO THANK YOU AGAIN MY GUY!
This worked perfectly with removing all the white from a halftone image, thanks!
yes I always use it on halftones when preparing artwork to be screen printed. works like charm :)
I come back here every like 2 weeks and the music always keeps me hyped
I managed to do this by copying an image into Microsoft word, saving it as a PDF, and then opening the PDF into Photoshop. The white background is automatically transparent. I was blown away. This opened so many avenues for me.
Finally, a REAL tutorial and not some bullsh*t guide telling me that I can use the magic wand and cut out the white parts (yeah, sure, I would never have thought about that). Thank you very, very much and thumbs up!
Loved the music and thanks for the perfect tutorial.
Omg
I do a lot of inking and making every single damn part of my drawings transparent takes hours.
DUDE YOU HAVE SHOWN ME THE LIGHT
THX A LOT!
I'm happy that this helped you! thanks for your comment :)
I've been dying to learn this trick and I didn't know that it was this easy. Give this guy a million views!
This video need more view xD Thank you! So simple and straight to the point.
tell youtube! hahaha ;)
Very cool approach! Thanks man!
YOU DA BEST!!!! that brush your teeth . part was so on point. had me smiling ear to ear.
Super cool way to help out illustrators/artists of all kinds. THANK YOU!
Thanks a lot! Thumb up for the Dragon Ball Z theme :D
yes! big love to dragon ball! hahaha ;)
Previously on Dragon Ball!
It works perfectly and saves a lot of time. I recorded an Action (Alt+F9) incorporating all the steps here and now with a single keystroke it removes all the white in about one second.
clever.
Gimme the actiooon pls HAHAHAHA
Perfect, short and to the point. Exactly what we need. Thanks man
Thank you so much, very straightforward and easy to follow unlike so many other tutorials I've found for this, really appreciated
This video has helped me more than you will ever know.
Thanks a lot for the donation! ✊✨
Great video, very useful and to the point. Cheers!
I can't believe how well this works. You're an actual hero!
Tried again today and nailed it. Recorded an Action and now this is like MAGIC. Thank you so much!!!
made my picture black and white :(
Great it is, but it's not working with color images.
Obviously. This video is about seperating white from black.
Simple, fast and paired with a catchy tune. Thanks for making life 10 thousand times easier!
Damn, you're insane. I was curious at first, but when I followed it step by step, and boom... It's done in 1 minute
This solved so many problems for me! Thank you :D
Great! You are welcome! :)
Apple: Steps by key stroke: ⌘A, ⌘C, New Layer, Delete Background, ⌥⌫(delete), add layer mask, ⌥click mask, ⌘V, Image>adjustments>invert, click on layer, delete layer.
prolly don't care but u just made my day bro thanks so much
@@hannesdraws5989 invert = ⌘I
Thank you 7 years later. Still useful. Honestly Adobe should make this a simpler process by now but at least we have youtube gurus to help us.
dude you're my savior, I accidentally merge my lineart with base color, thankfully the color not in full opacity, this method saves me from crying
only working with black-white painting. Too bad
Straight to the point, thanks!
For anyone reading, you can turn this into an action and bind it, so you only have to press one button in order to do it again. Look up actions in photoshop.
But how to main the quality of the color. It makes it black
This is the best method for removing white background from black and white line art. Thank you. It also works in Procreate on the iPad with some adjustments.
Exactly what I needed, short and succinct, thank you very much. Enjoyed the music too.
Saved. my. ass. The video IS as heroic as the music. Thank you!
Great tip!! Thanks
Dude! God bless you! You don't know how many times I've wanted to do this and couldn't figure it out. Thank you! Saving this vid for sure.
sure, it's an useful trick! you're welcome :)
HUGE props, m'dude! This was EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thanks!
Thank you for epic music!
dragon ball rules. always.
At 1:08, you apply the layer mask. Don't delete as the instructions read.
LOL thank you I kept messing it up. thought I was dumb as hell
Mind blown. Worked perfectly, and Kikuchi's classic dbz music made it all better. Thanks man!
Awesome, thank you, finally I found your video, I've been digging though magic wand tutorials for longer than I wanted to.
we should set the magic wands on fire..
I feel like half the clicks this video got is me coming back every few weeks because I repeatedly forget how this works lmao
Me too but then I recorded this as an 'Action' in PS, which has helped.
Go to select, then color range, and select the color you want to delete with the eyedropper select okay and delete it (Its wayy easier)
the result is not as good then.
This one helped me thanks!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED RIGHT NOW. you are appreciated, bless up !
Thank you very much, been using photoshop for 10 years and never heard of this way, BAD TO THE BONE
I got to this video multiple times a year. I got weirded out cause the background music was very different from what it was before.
yes, I am super sad about this. I got a copyright claim from Namek and I had to change it.
haha me too!! i always come back.
Yaaaay thank you
Thank you so much for saving my efforts from half an hour research to do this!!! You are the best!
Great song choice. Fantastic message. Outstanding tips. Triple A ! Thanks Joel x
Hahahah Thanks for the triple A!! X))
Perfect! Short and no bullshit, thanks for the video.
i like this dude
THANKS SO MUCH! even though you did this 3 years ago, it's helping me with a job! Thank you :D
I have been searching for days for a video I could understand and one that worked for removing the background from my line art image. Today I found it! Thanks so much for this easy to follow video!
It works only if you have black&white image. For colour photo result has no background and no colors.
Ill start brushing my teeth now thanks!!
that's EXACTLY what I've been looking for to create watermarks from pix . THANX!!!
This was exactly what I was looking for to help with some line art that got flattened, thanks a ton!
thank u so much!
but what if the logo is colored?
when i tried it, it makes it only black and white
any tutorial or something could help??
Does the logo have a black line? If so, you could easily separate the line and then recolor it manually. First, turn the image to grayscale (Image, Mode, Grayscale). Then, use curves to get the black line on white background (Image, Adjustments, Curves) - Normally joining both ends around to the middle works fine, quite tricky but doable. Next follow the steps on the video. And finally recolor it. But it all depends on the logo! I use this a lot when I have to use logos sent to me as shitty low-res jpgs and works like charm.
best tuto ever
That was amazing, and that background music was perfect for your great job, just matched everything.👍👍
Fast, effective and fun tutorial! Much appreciated!
Does not work for colour images?
does this method work with inkings including colour?? thanks!
lol, I am asking same question 21 hours after you, 6 years after the video has been uploaded
I'm asking the same question
@@huanmai306 you can just click on the layer, go to "select" on top of the screen, then selecet "subject" or "color range" depends what works for you better and tap delete on keyboard. Very eazy
Only linework. This converts gray scale values to opacity values.
more useful than everything i looked up, it was exactly what i needed!
thank you AGAIN I have used your video more than you can imagine, I have the memory of a goldfish so I can't remember the steps!
making logos at 1;30am , thank you, i will brush my teeth.
Thanks
bless you for not having a long-winded into, like/subscribe segment, etc! so frustrating when trouble-shooting on the go. thanks for an easy vid!
OMG thank you SOOOOOO Much! This was the simplest & easiest explanation out there.
not what I was looking for but atleast it didnt take me 14 minutes to realise that like with other vidoes, anyway guess I cant avoid using the magic wand :(
It says "remove white background", what were you looking for?
lol
Wasn't really what I was looking for either but I still got off.
HAhahaha, I came across that 14 minute video too.
this is my favorite video on youtube
this is my favourite comment on youtube ;)
thanks so much for this! I watch it every time I need to do this Lol you'd think I would just remember but nope, thank you!
THIS IS AWESOME!! This video is Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you. You made it simple, quick and easy to follow. Have an amazing day!
is it only for black and white images?
You can add colored images, but they will turn into black and white with grey tones for the color, wich will be semi transparent then.
You can add a colorful gradient in the mask, but it will just be greytones then, depending on the color more or less transparent in the real layer color.
Why does my picture turn to a different color as soon as i paste the picture?
T__T i can't even paste the picture into the mask area. it won't let me. i have no idea why.
cannot thank you enough. this is SO dang helpful.
Very simple, very straightforward, extremely short, best kind of tutorial
Dragon ball yeah!
176 people can't use PS. Thanks for this tutorial!
hahhaha X))
You really saved my life! I had this lineart I forgot to save with a transparent background and lost the original file, so I was going nuts cuz I'm doing a collab and had to send to the person who's doing the coloring. hahaha
Thank you so much, you really saved me!
