If you're using Vista or Win 7, I'm not certain what may be causing your problem. Background Removal is only supported on bitmap images (BMP, JPG, TIFF, etc) and you can not use if if you've multi-selected images.

Background removal requires the Windows Imaging Components (WIC), so if you're operating on XP w/o the most recent SP or on Server, you may not have it installed. WIC is part of the latest .NET Framework, and can be downloaded from Microsoft.com (http://www.microsoft.com/net/)

I have same problem with Javierzv up there.

The button for "Remove Background" isn't activated even when I double clicked picture as well as the button for "Artistic Effects".

Do you have any advice on that?

@derrick: You can uninstall send a smile from Add/Remove programs or Programs and Features.

@david: I'd love to see a standardized Office Graphics platform as well. Since some Office products were purchased from outside companies (like Publisher and Visio) it takes a lot of work to get them all using the same graphics platform. Combine that with different graphics subsystems on different platforms (even across Windows versions) and you get a whole new level of complexity!

It was a contextual tab in the technical preview too...

Why does background removal display as a modal tab instead of a contextual tab? Isn't background removal a tool, not a mode?
