getting rid of background

[aokweld101]

I'm am making a litho and wanting to get rid of the background of the picture and just leaving the image of the people, when I try to import the image and lower the pattern the people start to disappear I tried the pattern editor and the edges are jagged edges some one tell me if there is a trick to use or a way to go about it. thank you in advance.

I think you just have to manually use an eraser.

Agreed, it's easier to "photoshop" the background out and go from there. IMO it doesn't look good to have no background, however, so you may want to place them onto a more appealing background, perhaps a place they liked. I tried no background once and it didn't look right to me. I photoshopped me and my wife into a background of where we got married in this litho.
