Creating Educational Transparencies Using Movavi Photo Editor


Transparencies are basically transparent sheets with graphics and text on them and are frequently used for educational presentations. One interesting way to create them is by essentially taking an image and removing its background – so that you can then print it onto a transparent sheet.

When you want to get started, launch Movavi Photo Editor and click on the ‘Browse for Images’ button and select the image you want to use in your transparency. After that’s done open the ‘Change Background’ tab so that the sidebar with the tools you need appears.

In the sidebar you should first use the ‘Foreground Brush’ and the ‘Background Brush’ to mark the foreground areas that you want to keep and the background areas that you’d like to remove respectively. At this stage you don’t need to be too precise, as Movavi Photo Editor will let you refine the selection after you click on the ‘Next Step’ button.

Using the ‘Mask Brushes’ will let you paint the borders of the selection to add or subtract areas and ensure only the parts that you want are selected. To select finer details, Movavi Photo Editor has a ‘Hair Selection’ tool that you can use as well.

If and when you’re satisfied that the selection is as precise as possible you can click ‘Next Step’ again and this time Movavi Photo Editor will remove the background.
