I am creating images to put on t-shirts. When I draw an image on a white paper and scan it into my pc files, how do I keep the white paper from showing up as a background on my created dark t-shirts? I am using CorelDRAW X3. I`ve tried a number of different procedures on Corel such as transparency tool, remove background. Even though it`s gone on my work page, after I save image and then reopen it, the white is showing again. Erasing it is too difficult because of the detail. So some white will always show. Help! Anyone!
Transparency tool doesn't remove an object. It just make the object transparent. so basically, it's still there.
You can utilize magic wand tools, etc. and then use eraser tool or something similar in Photo Paint . Or if you really are concerned about the detail of your artwork, you can utilize the channel mask to make a selection. (I'm a Photoshop user so I can't help farther with photopaint)
It depends on the design, but have you tried using Power Trace (in CorelDRAW) to change the scanned image into a vector? Then you can simply delete the background white objects. This will work for some designs and won't for others.

Is this a raster or vector design?
Could you post your picture so we can better guide you? (preferred .cdr format)

See image. The white color was removed using CorelTRACE. (colors only to show transparency)

i think what aversa wondered...
"do i have to really select and delete each and every white background from the image to achieve transparency?"
Sometimes when i browser images from the net, my first question is that:
Do i really have to do that 1 by 1? or is there a magic button?
just thoughts...
I know how to follow instructions!

I think the fastest way to remove white backgrounds is my commercial magic erase macro for PHOTO-PAINT. Watch the video there
