The Silhouette Cameo is a popular craft and die-cut machine that allows users to cut out intricate shapes from a range of materials. One of the most common applications for the Cameo is to remove backgrounds from images and photos. Removing backgrounds with the Cameo is easy and can be done in a few simple steps.
The first step to removing a background in Silhouette Cameo is to open up the design software. You will need to have the image you want to remove the background from already loaded into the software. Once you have it open, select the ‘Background Eraser’ tool from the left-hand side toolbar.
Then, select your desired settings for erasing the background. This includes choosing an eraser size, eraser strength and also selecting which color of background you want to erase.
The eraser size determines how large or small an area you are erasing, while the strength setting determines how much of that area will be erased. Finally, select which color(s) should be removed.
Once all of these settings are chosen, click on the image where you want the background removal to begin. This will cause the Background Eraser tool to erase any pixels within its range that match your chosen color(s). If any unwanted pixels remain within your selection, simply use another pass with a smaller or larger eraser size until all unwanted colors have been removed.
Finally, click save when done and your image should now have its background removed!
Conclusion:
Removing backgrounds from images and photos with Silhouette Cameo is very straightforward and easy process. All you need do is open up your design software, choose an appropriate eraser size and strength setting as well as select which colors should be removed before clicking on your image where you want removal to begin. Finally, save when done and enjoy your newly created image without its previous background.
