It seems like Preview should offer instant alpha. I really fill there should be a better way than this though. tif is better but I can't see the difference.) png because it offers all colors and transparency without being very large. If you just want to save the image, open ClipEdit (click here for free download), and copy it over. Make it smaller than the object you want to export and have it either in front of or behind it completely (otherwise you'll get odd empty space around the export.)Ĥ.) Select both your instant alpha picture and the transparent box (by click and drag select,) and then copy them.ĥ.) Paste them in whatever program you want and it should work. My current, rather long and probably unnecessarily complicated process is.Ģ.) Make any modifications you want (Keynote offers things like instant alpha, masking, changing colors, adding shadows or reflections, ect.)ģ.) Add a square, and set the fill and stroke to none. when copying an image out of keynote, it undoes instant alpha! So if someone has a simple way to go around this, please tell me.

I want to remove the background from a picture.
