Need help creating smooth graphic with transparency for web use

I have created a logo that is mostly white with white text and will appear over a textured background image. The logo contains text that I've converted to outlines. I've tried saving it as both a .gif and a .png, but when it's imported into iWeb, the outline of the graphic looks jagged and rastered. When viewed in Photoshop, it looks OK as a .png, but not great as the .gif.
I've tried saving it out as RGB, indexed color and greyscale, using PhotoShops "save for web" function or just saving it as 72dpi myself. I don't know how to get the edges to remain smooth. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you J - here's the weird thing. I actually HAD saved it as a PNG24, and it looked fine on my machine. When I sent it to my client, who used it on his iWeb page, it looks jagged.
After I got your answer, I went to his iWeb page and downloaded the same background image he's using and imported it into a Dreamweaver page on my machine, and placed the same PNG logo over top - it looks as crisp and clean as a whistle. I have to assume that something's happening when he imports it into iWeb. Since I know zero about iWeb, I guess I will have to post another question on their forum, unless anyone knows what could be causing this.

  • Help export the graphic with transparent background and not braking the quality

    hi I'd like some help please if its possible.
    I've created a monitor graphic in Fireworks that looks like iMac and I would like to export it with transparent background.
    the jpeg format looks great with no damage to the graphic at all but I can't have transparent background, although I changed the canvas fill to none. the png-8 format can apply transparent background, but damages the graphic.
    Here are the previews
    1st - the png-8 format
    2nd - thejpeg format
    A ny ideas on how I can export the graphic with transparent background and not braking the quality??

  • SSRS adhoc (2005/2008) - Need to create Report Model (.smdl file) for adhoc using Stored procedure

    Hi All,
    I need to create Report Models using stored procedures. But whenever I am going to create data sources for same, I am just getting tables and views to use. Please see the screenshot below:
    Is there any way out to create data source based on stored procedure? Please help.
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards
    Kumud

    Hi Kumud,
    As per my understanding, it is not support to create a Datasource View (DSV) using stored procedures.
    In a DataSource View, only views, tables or named queries can be used. We can use stored procedures in a query. No parameterized queries, parameterized stored procedures or parameterized UDFs can be used in a DSV named query. You can try to using below approach
    to achieve what you are require:
    To build views in our relational source and add the views to the datasource view to proceed with modelling.
    There is a similar issue, you can refer to it.

  • Need help creating a rectangle with a bunch of  text scrolling up within it

    Hey everyone, I'm using Motion 2 and want to add a large amount of text scrolling up. Which behavior would be best to use, the Scroll up or Motion Path?
    I want to create a rectangle where the text will be scrolling within it but I'm not sure how to do that. I'm I suppose to create a mask rectangle and then add the text?
    Please help
    Thank You

    As with most things there are a number of ways you could do it.
    One way is, if your making a rectangle anyway (as a bkg for the text) you can make an image mask (command shift m) on the text object and drag the rectangle into the mask well (then turn the rectangles visibility back on). This works with a filled rectangle.
    Of course you have to format the text to fit in the rectangle as it won't act as a bounding type area (like in AI, PSD).

  • Need help created state machine with timed digital output

    Hello everyone I'm new in LabView especially about how to make a state machine. I want to make simulation about state machine with digital output. In Front Panel there are volt_in as an input slider (0-10 V), two numeric control (upper limit and bottom limit), a waveform chart to plot those 3 value, and three boolean (P0.0, P0.1, P0.2) as an indicator. Boolean indicator will on if input from slider exceed the limit in certain situation. This simulation will work as follow:
    1. Define the upper & bottom limit (ex. 8 & 4V)
    2. Make an input from slider (0-10V)
    3. If input (2) exceed the upper limit but less than 10 second (ex. you have 9V input for 8 second, but after 8 second you change the slider back to normal between 4-8V) then the boolean indicator P0.0 & P0.2 will stay off
    4. If input (2) exceed the upper limit more than 10 second (ex. you have 9V input for 4 second, change to 8.5 V for 3 second, and then change to 10V for 3 second) then the boolean indicator P0.0 will turn on for 5 second, turn off, then follow by indicator P0.2 for 5 second, and turn off
    5. Wait 15 second, then repeat process from (2)
    Same process for input that exceed the bottom limit (P0.1 and P0.2 as indicator).
    Can you help me make the block diagram of this process? I will appreciate any of your help.
    Best Regards

    I would highly recommend you to open the template in LabVIEW to design state machines. You can the Standard State Machine template if you go to File -> New.. and Browse to VI -> From Template -> Frameworks -> Design Patterns.
    Also, here is a good explanation of one:

  • I need help understanding export options and optimizing for web

    I have been using FCP X for a short while now and have a pretty good grasp on the editing capabilities. What I'm having a horrible time figuring out is the export/share options. The videos I create are typically approximately 1 minute in length and get posted to a web site (we have our own CMS and video player so I'm not using YouTube or Vimeo or anything like that). In order to post them I need them to be MP4s and then I have to create .webm and .ogv files. The source material I work with is generally great, high quality stuff, so I end up with very large output files from the initial FCP share master file options.
    When I use MPEG Streamclip to make my MP4s I end up with files that are still quite large and I can't seem to ever get the file size manageable without losing tons of quality. I do not have Compressor, though if that will solve my problem I will put in for the expense of it. What I'm trying to understand is what sorts of settings I should be trying out to get my file sizes to be manageable without completely compromising my quality. And I know this can be done, because the company I work for pays for a great quantity of video work each year (from an outside production firm) and the clips provided are beautiful in quality and small in file size -- for example, I recently worked on a video and got it into the 40MB range before quality went to crap, working off the same material the production company we do work with had theirs down into the teens and looking beautiful!
    To throw an even greater wrench in the works, I am working off a mac. But when my boss, on a pc, saves the mp4s I create (raw files -- not what is posted to the web) locally on his machine and views them from there the sound is always off a tad and the people in the videos look like they're lip synching.
    Any advice on either of these is MUCH appreciated. I've been trying to figure this out properly for months, and only today decided to stop seeing if someone else had the same question and just post my own.

    Thank you Karsten, this was helpful I have utilized the Quality slider and the frame size options before though with limited results. I've never messed with the Limit Date Rate option as I don't know what I'm doing with it, I see you put 5Mbps. Is that a typical setting that I could use?
    Using stream info, here's info on my original source file:
    Stream: Charles_0023_2.mov
    Duration: 0:00:51
    Data Size: 96.51 MB
    Bit Rate: 15.77 Mbps
    Video Tracks:
    H.264, 1920 × 1080, 29.97 fps, 15.64 Mbps
    Audio Tracks:
    MPEG-4 Audio stereo, 48 kHz, 127 kbps
    Stream Files:
    Charles_0023_2.mov (96.51 MB)
    As a comparison, here's the info on a similar clip that the company we sometimes use created:
    Stream: Charles_0019_4.mp4
    Duration: 0:00:49
    Data Size: 4.66 MB
    Bit Rate: 0.80 Mbps
    Video Tracks:
    JVT/AVC Coding, 710 × 400, 29.97 fps, 635 kbps
    Audio Tracks:
    MPEG-4 Audio stereo, 48 kHz, 162 kbps
    Stream Files:
    Charles_0019_4.mp4 (4.66 MB)
    I'm fine with bringing the frame size down some and modifying the limit data rate, but sometimes I feel like I'm forcing my video into something it's not and the quality suffers -- this is where my understanding of video work breaks down LOL. Any suggestions of how I can get my .mov into something like the the .mp4 above?
    Also have you had any experience with mp4s not playing back properly on pcs?
    Again, thank you!

  • EPS Graphic with transparent bkgd placed over shape: IDCS3

    In Photoshop CS3 I created a graphic of a basketball player and masked him out. I then deleted the mask, leaving me with just the player. I now have a document that is 8x10", 300 dpi, with a transparent background. I flattened it and saved it as a Photoshop EPS.
    In InDesign CS3 I created a shape layer.
    I then created a graphics frame and placed my graphic with transparent bkgd in it.
    I arranged the layers so that my graphics layer is directly above my shape layer.
    Why isn't the background of the graphics layer transparent? It does not let the shape show through.
    I tried this technique:
    Object>Clipping Path>Options>Detect Edges = This is roughly what I want, but the edges are ragged.
    What is this technique called that I am trying to perform? I can't decide on the vocab. to use to navigate through the help menus or forum topics here.
    Thank you.

    ^ Just a quick note on #2 that transparency *effects* (as in 50% opacity) are not supported. However, simple background transparency should be.
    The Photoshop trip is probably your culprit as noted by OldBob, but whenever you work with EPS, you should also set your import options for EPS graphics to "Raster preview from postscript" (or whatever the "from postscript" option is called). Without that option, drop shadows will generate around the bounding box not the shape of the EPS object. Not sure whether the background will be correctly transparent either.

  • I have an itunes account.  However, I need to copy music onto a different iPod than my own.  How do I do that?  Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for that iPod?

    I have an itunes account.  However, I need to copy music onto a different iPod than my own.  How do I do that?  Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for that iPod?

    An account means an iTunes Store account which is an online service.  Do you mean that, or do you mean a library on a computer?
    iOS devices can only be synced to one iTunes library at a time.  You can sync that iPod to your account but it will wipe everything currently on it.
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201253 - detailed example: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18860187#18860187
    If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.) When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12113  and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
    I could post another 2 pages of stuff trying to cover every possible scenario.  It would help if you let us know exactly what you want to do.  Are you trying to sync just a few songs (like giving them to a friend which is something iTunes is deliberately set up not to do)?

    In ColdFusion 8 struts were configured using  actions extension .do in IIS from this file-
    C:\ColdFusion8\runtime\lib\wsconfig\jrun_iis6.dll.
    But in ColdFusion 10 this file is not present as ColdFusion 10 uses Tomcat in place of Jrun.
    Also there is no information in ColdFusion log file.

    doctormirabilis, Welcome to the discussion area!
    1) how can i configure the time capsule in order to operate as a remote base station synchronizing with the relay using the ethernet port?
    Configure the Time Capsule to act as a bridge (not distributing IP addresses). Also configure the Time Capsule to create an 802.11n wireless network with a unique network name (SSID). That's it.
    2) how can i avoid that my powerbook while accessing my wireless network does connect through the relay station instead of using the time capsule?
    Configure the Time Capsule to use a different network name than the WDS link between the 2 AirPort Express (AX). Configure the PowerBook to use the Time Capsule network.
    There are 2 pieces of information that you should be aware of...
    (1) None of the PowerBooks are capable of 802.11n.
    (2) The WDS link cuts your available bandwidth in half. So the wireless link to your neighbor's has a maximum potential of 27 Mbps.
    Let's for a minute assume that you have a Mac compatible with 802.11n. In your configuration the time you could take advantage of the 802.11n speed is when the Mac is sending/recieving data directly from/to the Time Capsule.
    There would be NO speed increase in Internet access. The speed of Internet access is going to be controlled by the slowest link in the path to the Internet. That is probably the connection to the ISP. The next slowest path is the WDS link to your neighbor's.
    Duane,
    I am in a similar situation, sharing internet with my neighbor. Do you think it would be plausible to hook up a vonage phone adapter to time capsule's ethernet port if time capsule is bridging from my neighbor's router in the configuration you have described? A check of my upload speed shows 1.67Mbps (powerbookG4 w/ airport extreme). Vonage reccommends 90kbps minimum upload speed. Am I going to lose some speed putting the Vonag adapter behind time capsule?
    Thank you

  • Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to...

    Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to recognize our iPods (it doesn't even recognize them when they're plugged in).
    Hubby wiped my harddrive for me, so now I need to get everything back in proper places. I'm using windows XP and installed iTunes once again (I believe it's version 8). I also installed all of my iTunes songs. Now I need to know where to go from here. We have 3 iPods and I need to get them all synched once again. I know how to create different libraries for each of us, but I can't figure out how to get our songs back into our iTunes libraries. When I open iTunes and plug in an iPod, iTunes doesn't even show that an iPod is plugged in.
    What do I do now to get each of our iPods synched with our own libraries?
    TIA
    Brandy

    Thanks Zevoneer. The "Restart ipod service" worked and itunes is now recognizing my ipod! Hooray!
    Okay, now how do I synch all of our ipods with our individual libraries (I don't want all of my kids' songs and vice versa)? We each have hundreds of songs on our ipods that we don't want to lose.
    Thanks again!

    Hi
    You have to use DateNavigator Control to get the left hand side screen in SCC1 and
    for the right hand side one you have to work with table Control
    for Date Navigator UI control see WDR_TEST_EVENTS
    and to get the right hand side screen see  WDR_TEST_TABLE see the view SingleMarkableCell.
    Using both these standard components you can achieve this.
