Exporting and image w/transparent background?

I edit the the back ground out of an image or edit around
something in a picture so that the area around it is transparent
and if I export it and open it back up the transparenst space is
now filled in with white? Is there a way to save the image so that
the transparent area will stay that way even after I export it? Any
help would be great! :o)

What is the file's extension? Why can you not insert it as a
picture?

Giving a black and white line work image a transparent background

I am working in Photoshop CS4 (mac). Currently, the image is comprised of black line on a white background. How do I go about giving the image a transparent background?

A day later, I have still not figured out how to accomplish what it is I am trying to do.
I have not yet tried what you have suggested in the last post and am about to go at it once again. I should mention two things. 1. My goal is to drop this image into InDesign (cs4) when completed. 2. The image has interior space betwen the line work/image itself that I would like to contain transparency. Not sure if I am being clear here. The issue lies in when I actually drop the image into InDesign. While the image appears to already have a transparent background, once it is dropped into InDesign, the image then assumes an opaque/white background.

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??

How can I export a file with transparent background?

Hi all,
I know InDesign doesn't allow to export a PNG file, but I need my file to be in image file format with transparent background.
I'm still learning so I am stuck here. How can I export a file with transparent background?

If you can't get the PNG file export to work, you can export a pdf and open it in Photoshop, from there you can save it as whatever you like.

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");
        URL url2 = new URL("http://weblogs.java.net/jag/DukeSaltimbanqueSmall.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() {
                f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                f.setVisible(true);

Image with transparent background als foreground of a button

I'd like to build an app with buttons using the phone's accent Color as Background and an Image with transparent Background as foreground of the button. It should look like the tiles on the start screen of WP8.1.
The following code doesn't work (no foreground appears)
<Button x:Name="myButton" Background="{ThemeResource PhoneAccentBrush}">
<Button.Foreground>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="/Assets/myImage.png"/>
<Button.Foreground>
</Button>
Are there any ideas?
Thanks
Martin

Hi mfv_technet,
The Foreground property is used to get or set a brush that describes the foreground color. So we can not bind the Foreground to a image,
if I do not misunderstand you, in my mind if we want to set the button look like the tiles on the start screen of WP8.1, maybe you can try to refer to the following xaml:
<Button x:Name="myButton" Foreground="Red" Background="{ThemeResource PhoneAccentBrush}" Margin="116,136,0,363" Width="195" Height="141">
<Button.Content>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<Image Source="/Assets/myImage.png" Width="80" Height="80"></Image>
<TextBlock Text="Button"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</Button.Content>
</Button>
The result:
If I have misunderstood you, please feel free to let me know.

Photoshop text + bevel and emboss on TRANSPARENT background?

I've created my Photoshop title images with text + bevel and emboss, on a transparent background.
I've Rasterized the type and I've merged down leaving the transparent background (not flattened) then saved as .psd or .tif (with layers).
When I import into FCP I either get the text WITH bevel and emboss, on a WHITE background or text WITHOUT bevel and emboss, on a TRANSPARENT background.
Strange thing is, I've imported Photoshop images with transparent backgrounds into FCP several times before and although I can't say I've never had problems, I've always managed to work it out quite easily. Not this time, I'm baffled and seriously considering getting cross!
Quad 2.5 G5. 8 GB Ram. 250 & 500 GB Internal Drives. G-Tech G-Raid 1 TB Mac OS X (10.4.6) FCP 5.0.4 (FC Studio). Photoshop CS2. Sony HVR-Z1E

Hello,
I have tried the Ken Stone method (thank God for that guy...) but I am loosing my drop shadow and bevel effects on the text once the file is imported in FCP.. I used the NTSC preset with Transparent background in Photoshop. What am I missing? I have looked around in this forum and can't find a clear answer!!
Any thoughts??

How to export animated gif with transparent background and glow effect?

I've been having issues lately with creating animated gifs in flash. I finally figured out a way to export a gif with a transparent background but I'm now having an issue with it again because I'm using a glow effect. When the gif is exported the glow effect changes into a very poor quality and becomes less of a glow and more like a solid color. I've even exported a png sequence from flash and put it into photoshop then created a gif from there but I'm still having the same issue. Is there anyway I can properly export this in gif form so the quality is the same as when I test it in flash?
I've provided an image of what my issue looks like and the settings (I've messed around with the settings and this is the best I can come up with) . This is in photoshop but the result is similar in flash. The left one is what it originally looks like and the right is what it will look like after exporting. As you can see as I said before the glow changes into more of a solid color kind of like a border. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

A GIF is limited to 256 colors while a glow effect likely wants to tie up thousands (let's just say 'lots') of variations of tone.

How to export images with transparent background in illustrator

H i
I am trying to export a png, jpeg button design with curved designs. But the white background keeps appearing when exported.
How do I remove the white background and just have the button image.
Thank you.

Are you exporting as a PNG or exporting as a JPG?
JPG doesn't support transparency so you'll have to export as a PNG and check the Transparency box.

Photoshop Image with transparent background - exporting gives me a white background ?

Hi,
OK, hours of my life have gone into this one already - I guess that's computers! I have some images in Photoshop which already have transparent backgrounds, however when I try and drag these into a different program, they move across with a white box as their background. I have tried saving as TIF, GIFF ... - all sorts, so I am clearly missing a pretty fundamental step that I can't see.
Any help would be SO appreciated.
Thanks.
Doreen.

Save as PSD or PNG, depending on whether you final output will be print or web. Then use Place instead of dragging the image over.

How do I save/export an image without a background when using Adobe draw on iPad?

Hi :-)
brand new new to adobe draw... Using on an iPad... How do I export/save an image so that it has no background?

The solution is the following:
- by default the first drawing layer is white... and will remain so... you have to turn the opacity of this white layer to zero by pushing the white button on the left,
- then use any of the remaining 9 layers for your drawings,
- export to adobe Creative Cloud or Illustrator (not as JPEG) and you have you picture with a transparent background...
Hope this helps..

White image on transparent background

I have an image with white components which I want to save as
a gif with transparent background but fireworks wants to export the
white as transparent. Is there a way round this? Many thanks,
Alex

Two options come to my mind:
1) Set the transparency to No Transparency as Alex said. Then
choose a background color that you do not need as a color as well.
Then in the optimize panel, look in the bottom left and notice the
three buttons with checkered backgrounds. The one with the plus
icon lets you choose a transparent color by hand. Select that, and
click the background color.
This way you can make the transparent be any color you want.
The problem with this is it might be hard to find a color that
isn't also in your image, and you might not *want* to change the
background color(since this will affect your image possibly).
2) Use 'Alpha Transparency'. This is usually used for image
formats, like PNG, that support full alpha transparency, but you
can use it with a GIF in a way to: set your canvas background to
Transparent(no fill), then choose Alpha Transparency for you GIF.
Notice that now in Preview mode that only the background is
transparent. You can then control the "matte" color in the Optimize
panel to simulate as if there was a solid background color for
semi-transparent areas, since semi-transparency can't be in a GIF
it has to make it a solid color blended against a background
color.

Export white gif with transparent background

Hi,
I suppose this is a bug, or has anybody an idea: I have a transparent canvas and a white drawing. Very simple thing. Now I want to export this as a gif, just like it is: transparent background, white drawing. But this seems to be impossible. I can choose any of the available settings in export dialog (no transparence, index-transparency, alpha-transparency), Fireworks will never export the image correctly. Either I have a total white or a total transparent gif, I even got a white drawing on black background (but can't reproduce it).
System: Mac, Fireworks CS5
Thank you, Michael

Set the Transparency type to Alpha when you export.
