The blog has been pushed into the background a bit as a lot of other projects had to be finished. But I am now working on upgrading everything and using it more. Try this: Doubleclick on the layer and Ok it to convert it to a normal layer (it usually opens as background). I have heard of this plugin not working on CS4, but you can at least give it one more try before dismissing it :-) Let me know what happens. Sorry for the late reply.

I am totally new to photoshop. I got a jpg image from which I want to remove the white background. I opened it up in my photoshop CS4. The mac plug in shows up but it is disabled. I don't know how to apply this filter. Do I first need to convert my image to a .psd file before I can use it ?? Thanks so much Hi Svein,

I find that removing white and then painting white back in a layer under gives me more freedom to decide how soft edges will be preserved as well as shadows. It is a great timesaver for me as well.

The problem then is that you will get a jagged edge if there is anti aliasing in your image. This is why I love this plug-in. The only thing you have to do is to add white behind your object and it is back the way it was. This way, you can leave a few pixels around the edge of your object and it will blend in perfectly. Also, shadows will now look perfect because only the grey values are overlayed the new background.
