      I am trying to import a image with no background in it. I have a image of a Arkansas Razorback and am trying to insert the image on a football field with no background around it. When I insert the image it has a white background but I am only wanting the cut out of the Razorback inserted. I have photoshop elements and I am cutting out the image with no background. But when I go to save the file it keeps the background.

      Here are some image of what I am trying to do.

      This is the image that I want to put at midfield but with no background just simply the razorback.

      Here is the stadium

          Hi Jahogs,

          JPG image format does not support transparency (i.e. ant part such as a "background"). Among the file formats SU can import, both TIFF and PNG can have transparent background but even if you go transparent with them, they will have a rectangular shape which you could see through (and not the grass).

          So your best thing to do would be to trace around the boar/hog whatever it is in SU and delete the outside edges of the rectangular image. Something like this.

          ArkansawBoar.skp


          Or what HDT posted above. πŸ‘

          Gai...

            Thank you very much. I have spent hours trying to figure it out and it was right under my nose. Thanks a lot.
