Question
I have pointed some locations and taken an image using google earth.I need to remove the background Map.How I can do that?
Hello Shathil,\
That's something that would best be done in PhotoShop or other painting program, I think.
I'm not familiar with what a google background map looks like exactly but I suspect it's a graphical overlay on the photographic background? You'd probably have to use the clone stamp and paint over everything you didn't want.
Sometimes it takes some work but if you really need it done, that might be the only way.
Hope this helped a little?

Expertise
I can help troubleshoot your Illustrator 9 through CS3 (and most CS4) problems and suggest the best way to get the results you need. Although I can help with some installation issues, my forte is prepress and how to use the tools and functions in the application itself.
Experience
I've been a graphic artist for over 20 years. Oh my God, 20 years.
