My first attempt to replace the white background in my image with a transparent one (i.e., no background) using my favorite free (I love free) Online Image Editor website could not get every bit of white removed, so I went looking for alternatives. The one I found worked best was remove.bg, which is at the link below. I just uploaded the image, and it automatically scrubbed every bit of white away, perfect for my requirement. The free version provides a lower resolution (576x433) download, but they have paid plans for maximum resolution, and that includes a pay-as-you-go option for $3 for 3 images. For my needs, the lower resolution is fine.
A day or so later, I wondered if it would remove the background from other photos and was surprised to find that it works pretty good. For example, I uploaded a photo of a dozen eggs in a bowl sitting on our kitchen counter, and everything but the bowl of eggs was removed. You'll see that picture in an upcoming blog.
