Copying Images w/ Transparency

Hi, I'm trying to copy an image from a Keynote 3 presentation that I did not create and paste it into Photoshop. The image in question is one that has a filename of droppedimage.tiff. The image itself in Keynote has transparency but when I paste it into photoshop, the transparency is gone and it is placed on a black background. How can I copy this image from Keynote to Photoshop and retain the image's transparency?
I was able to open the .key file and locate it in the package contents but shouldn't keynote preserve the transparency in the copy/paste method as well?

Brian, your suggestion is what I wrote as the only way I could still retain any transparency from an image being used in a keynote presentation despite it being a tiff.
And for those playing along with this weird issue, here's a neat trick. This whole thread is in reference to trying to open the iWork Tour file in Keynote.
Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:iWork '06:iWork Tour.app:Contents:Resources:English.lproj:iWork Tour.key
Even though the Finder says the file is an application, you can click on the package contents and locate the keynote file. Once you locate the file, open it in Keynote and marvel at the MASSIVE Pages, Keynote, iDVD and iPhoto images. Those are the transparent images I'm trying to extract and put into Photoshop. Thanks Apple! Those images, when restored to their original pasted size, are around 600px X 600px. NICE!

Copying images with transparency produces a black background.

When images are copied from Firefox and pasted elsewhere (Paint, PSP, Photoship, etc.) any transparency becomes opaque black. This makes it difficult to edit the image if the transparency was near black pixels. Is there any way to change the colour to something else, or at least, white?

No, you will have to save the image to disk and open the file in your image editor. You can try if it works if you drag the file in the editor.

Using images with Transparency in Photobooks

I'm to a point where I would like to use images that utilize transparency in Aperture photo books. Is this possible? So far, PSD files that I've cropped with PS's lasso tools to have transparent areas surrounding their subject tend to change this area to white when dropped into a book.
Does anyone know of a way or format to use to retain this transparency? I love the speed of Aperture's photobook tools, along with export and printing options, and would like to be able to layer images that bleed together, or have a cut-out subject on top of others, but I haven't noticed a way as of yet.
Is this ability even available in Aperture yet?
If not, is there a third party plugin that gives it to the user when making photo books?
Please let me know soon, else i'm going to have to adjust my workflow back to photoshop only for page set layouts and the created PSD files on blank book pages- not fun.

i have been trying different ways to make it work fine, and find several things to consider:
Note: for the next ways i tried with images with transparency.
1 searching images in the iPad with safari and saving it into Photo app
then copying it with the popup and pasting it with the popup inside Pages or Keynote:
work fine.
2 using the saved images that worked fine in the first way but
then inside Pages in my opened document, using the menu to import the image from the
Photo app, to insert the same downloaded image used in the first case:
does not work, the image appears with a white background.
3 trying the first way (manually copying and pasting) but with the images i imported from
my MacBook Pro using the normal way via iTunes(10.1.1 (4))
does not work, some images appears with a black background, other images
appears with a white background.
4 trying with the images of the third way, but changing the method using the photo app
menu from Pages
does not work as in the third way
i dont have problem using transparency images in the first complex way.
my problem is when i try to use images with transparency in the other three normal ways.

Setting image background transparent

I want to know how can I set the background of an existing images to transparent. I am a web desginer and currently i want's to change background color of one of my site http://twxdroid.com but here the problem arises that some of my used images background won't match up site background, so someone plz tell me how to change existing image background transparent. I heard about using magic wand selection tool or quick selection tool to make transparent but still can't figure out how to use them.

• if the Layer is a Background Layer change it to a regular one by double-clicking it
• make a Selection with whatever Selection Tool is appropriate
• if you selected the background use Select > Inverse to invert the Selection
• Layer > Layer Mask > From Transparency
• if further corrections are needed paint on the Layer Mask – black to hide, white to show the Layer’s content
• save the layered file as psd, psb or tif
• File > Save for Web … to save a copy a format that fits your needs (png-24 for example)

Unable to COPY image without background

An object is selected in Photoshop CS4 against a transparency background. In other words, it is isolated.
Then the COPY command is used.
Then it is PASTED into Illustrator CS4 but the white background appears
(Creating a New User account in Windows did not change anything.)
Also, selecting the object using the Rectangular Marquee tool had the same result of inserting a white background
Operating System: Windows Vista

Yes its works, at least on cs3 (had few days ago same problem). Another way is convert selection to path, then export it to illustrator. Then open it in Ilustrator, copy path to where its needed. Select copied image from PS (one with white background), use align palete to align both at same position and make cliping mask. Done Not fastest and easiest way, but when path needed not just transparency then it works.Of course converted path almoust always isn't ideal but you can use handmade path.

How to copy images from another MC in reversed order??

Hi everyone,
I'm new to AS3 and have been fighting and searching for a solution to this problem for a week now, and I'm VERY close!
I crated a MC holding of a series of images (about 50) and I jump around in it using plenty AS3 scripts (most of which I don't fully understand yet, but I'm working on that to! )
I had to find a way to "rewind" (= play backwards) the MC. Since there is a stop(); command in almost every frame, prevFrame does not work and if I put that in a loop, it goes WAY to fast (but worked).. So I could think of only one way...
Create a new (reverserd) MC with the same image sequence ald reverse it manually and play that one.
This all works fine (very proud of it ).
Now my question:
To get this to work for multiple image sequences, I have to load all images twice (once in MC_1 and again in MC_2 and select them and reverse them).
Not a big one, unless you want to create MANY of those SWF's...
Is it possible to load the 50 images of the first MC in reverse into the second MC dynamically? JUST the images, noting else.
extra info: the MC_2 is already in the lib(empty) and placed on the stage.
something like:
var pointer:Number=1;
for (var:i:Number=50;i>=0;i--) {
get MC_1.picure(var);
put it in MC_2.frame(pointer);
pointer = pointer + 1;
All help is welcome and please take into account that I have little experience and copy most of my scripting from people like you
T.I.A.
Melluw

I tried your advice (thanks for that)
The event I already have is the mouse leave
I //-d out the part I removed (what did work)
The code I ended up with is:
function Start() {
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, cursorHide);
function cursorHide(evt:Event):void {
var currFrame = MC_1.currentFrame;
if (CCW == true) { //it is true in this case
movStart = (50 - currFrame);
else {
movStart = currFrame;
if (movStart>25) {
MC_1.prevFrame();
// removed swapChildren(MC_1, MC_2); // This is the part I removed
// removed MC_2.gotoAndPlay(movStart);
else {
MC_1.gotoAndPlay (movStart);
And if I leave the stage on the part where movStart is indeed >25
Nothing happens,
So I guess this is not what you meant
Subject: Action Script 3 how to copy images from another MC in reversed order??
I cannot direct you in the loading of the images approach, it will be too complicated, and will probably not work anyways... when you move away from a frame that has dynamic content, you lose the content. So basically, there is nothing practical in taking that approach.
I do niot understand what the problem will be with the enterFrame/prevFrame approach. If everything you can do with the mouse is already used (which I doubt) by the first mc, then there is nothing else you can do with this file. You probably just need to rethink your control scheme. You should search Google for "AS3 slideshow tutorial", and to lighten up your design, add "XML" in that search.

How do I save an image (logo) transparent so that it will appear transparent on any color background such as a gradient or black?

How do I save an image (logo) transparent so that it will appear transparent on any color background such as a gradient or black?
I save image as "transparent" at File > New... but when I place on a gradient background it keeps appearing white. I'm trying to save transparent to be effective on any color such as a gradient or black. How do I truly save as transparent?

Put the logo on its own layer set the layer fill to 0 and add a layer style to the logo layer. Here I duped one change fill to 0 added style.

Adobe Reader 9 Mac - cannot copy images

I upgraded to Reader 9, and another person in our office is using 8 with the same problem. We can no longer copy images out of a PDF - when we try to paste an image that appeared to be copied we only get a gray box. We've tried many ways including pasting directly into Word or Excel, choosing 'New from Clipboard' in Photoshop Elements, creating a blank Photoshop file and pasting, etc. This has works perfectly in Acrobat 5.0 and in Reader 7.0.5 (which I have gone back to using - I'm sure glad I waited before removing it from my system!).
Any thoughts?

I was wrong on both counts. With the help of the local Apple store, I found a solution. First, I Moved to Trash all adobe related files/folders from /Users/*myaccount*/Library/Cache and /Users/*myaccount*/Library/Preferences. When I started "Adobe Reader 9", I at least got the license agreement but again it failed with an "internal error". I then moved the /Users/*myaccount*/Library/Application Support/Adobe folder to my desktop. I was then able to start "Adobe Reader 9" successfully.
I was having the "Internal Error" message on all my repeated installs of Reader in Mac OS 10.6 ("Snow Leopard") and this fixed it for me. The only thing I did different, was after the app finally launched without an error, I dragged all the non-Acrobat Reader folders inside of /Users/*myaccount*/Library/Application Support/Adobe back to the folder. I then re-launched Reader just to check and all was fine.
Thanks! This fixed my Adobe Reader on Snow Leopard problem.

I can`t copy image from the web sites to Microsoft Word, since I update firefox ! Why ? How I can fix it ???

More generally, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these:
While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Printing Images with Transparent Background

Sorry if this question has already been asked, but I couldn't find anything similar to it in a search through the archives.
I have a couple of images with transparent backgrounds in a document, much like the shells and the blue flowers in the "Classic Brochure" template in Pages 2.0.1. These images show up perfect on the screen, and when printed as .pdf files, but when I print to either an hp color laserjet 4600 or an hp laserjet 1320, the images show up with a clear box around them; the colors under the box (where it should be transparent) are faded and slightly blurred. This happens both with my document, and the unaltered "Classic Brochure" template. I've tried moving various objects backwards and forwards, but it doen't seem to have any effect. It even happens with one of the text boxes I have in the document.
Another odd thing is that the printed "box" isn't the same size as the box that appears when you click on the object in the document. It's a bit bigger. I've seen other posts about problems with hp printers, but I'm not sure it's related. Any insight would be appreciated.

Framing image with transparent background png frame

hi,
i'm trying to find a way to frame images with transparent background png frames...
what i'm doing now is
1-drawing my image on a panel
2-creating a 2nd image using the frame's filename, stretching this 'frame-image' to a size slighlty larger than that of my main image and drawing the 'frame-image'
the problems with this method are:
1-depending on the width of the frame, the frame sometimes hides parts of the image (thick frame), and sometimes there is a gap between the frame and the image (thin frame).
2-if the image file containing the frame is larger than the frame (Ex: The image is 300x300, the frame is centered in this image and is 200x200; as opposed to the image is 200x200 and the frame takes up all the space), when i position the 'frame-image' near the top left corner of the image i want to frame, the frame appears at the wrong place (shifted down and to the right). This is due to the fact that i'm placing the top corner of the created 'frame-image' and not the frame, who is not in the top corner of my 'frame-image'.
Is there a way to do what i'm trying to do???
My ideas (which i don't know how to achieve are)
1-To 'analyse' my transparent background png file and
     1-only keep the frame,
     2-calculate the frame's thickness
OR
2-Let java do the analyzing for me and tell it to frame my image with the frame in the png file
please feel free to ask for more explanations if my description/question is confusing,
thanks.

Have you looked into the Border interface? If what you really want to do
is put a custom border on a component, you may be able to do it this way.
Anyway, here is some code that stacks and centres 2 images. It's not hard to do.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Example extends JComponent {
    private BufferedImage backgroundImage;
    private BufferedImage foregroundImage;
    public Example(BufferedImage backgroundImage, BufferedImage foregroundImage) {
        this.backgroundImage = backgroundImage;
        this.foregroundImage = foregroundImage;
    public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
        int w = backgroundImage.getWidth();
        int h = backgroundImage.getHeight();
        return new Dimension(w, h); //assuming this is bigger
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        super.paintComponent(g);
        int w = getWidth();
        int h = getHeight();
        //paint both, centred
        int x0 = (w-backgroundImage.getWidth())/2, y0 = (h-backgroundImage.getHeight())/2;
        g.drawImage(backgroundImage, x0, y0, null);
        int x1 = (w-foregroundImage.getWidth())/2, y1 = (h-foregroundImage.getHeight())/2;
        g.drawImage(foregroundImage, x1, y1, null);
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        URL url1 = new URL("http://weblogs.java.net/jag/Image54-large.jpeg");

        JComponent comp = new Example(ImageIO.read(url1), ImageIO.read(url2));
        final JFrame f = new JFrame();
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.getContentPane().add(comp);
        f.pack();
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {

Images with Transparency Cause Rendering Bug in Acrobat

Try this at home: Export a file containing an image with transparency to PDF and open it in Acrobat (any platform, any recent version): the page containing the image will have all text rendered in what looks like bold or faux bold, depending on the font. The document looks fine in Preview and printed (even from Acrobat).
Can anyone else reproduce this? I get this behavior consistently.

Hi bdepaepe, I've had a look and I believe I have experienced the error you mean and solved it.
The reason this occurs some of the time, but not always is because the source code is not the same each time, as the adverts change every refresh. The error only happens when two of the < div> tags of class 'banneritem' which are on top of each other have a height of 84px each as opposed to 80px (although even if this is the case the rendering issue doesn't always happen).
The reason that some of the 'banneritem' < div> tags have a height of 84px is because inside them there is an <a> tag which contains an < img> tag, and the <a> tag has not been set to 'display: block;'. <a> tags are inline elements by default, so shouldn't be used to hold block level elements such as images unless the styles for the <a> tag include 'display: block;'.

Export a PDF to an image with transparency

Hello,
I'm trying to export a PDF (which contains a logo with 4 paths) as an image with transparency. In my case I use the PNG because it supports the transparency. As my logo is defined with paths it should be possible to create an image with transparency.
Maybe this is a limitation and Acrobat cannot create image wich supports transparency.
Anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance,
Joe

@Joe:
That's a really pity.
Have you found any other software which can do this job.
I searched yesterday but didn't find anything.
@Doc Maik
b)
I have a (lot) PDF containing a single image which has a transparent background.
You can check that in Acrobat by menu: Edit - Preferences - Page Display - Show transparency grid
I need to have a PNG or TIFF (these two formats allow transparency) of that image.
That's all but as it seems to much for Acrobat to handle.
"Save as ..." doesn't work in case of transparency!
Thanks anyway.
Best regards
Norbert

How do I copy image from web and paste into Open Office Document

Whenever I choose Copy Image from Safari and then paste into open office, I only get the image url and not the image. I am sure that I am not selecting Copy Image Address.
When I copy images from my iTunes album artwork and paste into open office it works fine.
Any thoughts?

I have done the same thing using Firefox and it works just fine. It seems to be an issue with Safari.
