    Tracing a png - how to get rid of background

    federatedfilms Community Member

      I've imported a png of a simple black drawing on a man (Like you get on a toilet door) with a transparent background and tried to trace it to a vector but I can not get rid of the white background. i've tried it as a jpeg to see if the trace command would generate two layers one for the main drawing and one for the background that I could delete, but it di dnot. I tried setting the Trace fuction to just outline but that did nto work either.

       

      Can someone tell me how to get rid of the background when tracing a simple image or break apart the object to get at the background shape?
