removing background from transparent items

Soliloquy · # 1 (**permalink**)

I have a few dozen product images I have to remove the backgrounds from, and though most of the items I have to isolate are solid and require only the use of the background eraser, there are several images with transparent items on a gray background. Is there any way to remove the gray background so that the resulting transparent item looks to be on a white backgground?

Found a plugin for Photoshop, that can remove objects from translucent backgrounds.

Here is it :

Translucator is a Photoshop-compatible plug-in for Windows.

It extracts translucent objects (glass, smoke, fog, fur etc.) from images having complex background content with the minimum efforts. Result may be used for collage, scrabboking and greeting card creation.

Using Translucator you can make a result that is unavailable with other masking programs like Adobe Magic Extractor, Corel Knock-Out, Microsoft Expression and so on.

Maybe the designers here in this Forum can tell a way of doing this without a plugin.
Let's wait.
