Help with transparent background

I'm trying to get a transparent background on this attached image. It is made of a bunch of little dots, cool right? Except when you are trying to get the background removed. I basically need to get just the dots and get rid of all the grey/white background.
I picked up the file from shutterstock. I have the JPG and EPS files. Any help/advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

if you open the eps in illustrator, is the white background an object you can select?

REALLY need some help with transparent background

This is really starting to bug me now as I have searched the forums and the web for hours and still cannot get this to work.
I am creating a simple one page site at http://freeselfhelpebooks.org/50ofTheBestPDProducts/
I want the header and footer image to have a transparent background with only the text showing, so that the text shows on the background image.
So far I have created the header image with a transparent background Modify > Canvas > Canvas Colour > Transparent all good so far. I have added some text. Then I save as file type PNG 32, however I still get the background as white as you can see above.
I have tried PNG 8 with alpha transparency, no transparency but to no avail. I have even downloaded Photoshop CS6 and have the same issues. What am I doing wrong here?

First of all, your header graphic is fine; it's a transparent PNG. Your footer is a JPEG, which does not support transparency, so you need to resave that file into a different format (like PNG32, or PNG8 w/alpha transparency).
As I was trying to suggest, if you're confused about your graphics, check them in a graphics editor or viewer, not in a web page inside a web browser. Web development is a complex beast, and a lot can go wrong.
In the HTML of your web page, there is a class called "content" being applied to tables and images. This class has a background image being applied to it, which is responsible for the white background on those elements.

Help with transparent background for the pop up menu!

Hello everyone,
I am working on a Web site which has a pop up menu created in Dreamweaver 8. The pop up is over a picture and I'm thinking about to make its background transparent. I'm not really a programmer to be able to do it manually but I'm familiar with JS. Would anybody be able to help me with this? I truly appreciate it.
I could find the code but don't know where to place it! The JS file is about 700 lines!!! I'm so confused...Below is the source file for the JS that you could download...

With what program are you working and with what version of the program and on what computer operating system?
I suspect that you are working with some version of Photoshop Elements. If that is correct, then be advised that some how

How do I transfer a .psd file to illustrator that can then be placed in Muse as a .svg with transparent background?

I just wrote all this up in another thread. I did not realize at the time that the last post was in 2014, so I'm giving it a go here.
I am currently trying to create an .svg using Photoshop .psd file (with layers in tact). I'm new to these products so it may be obvious to others that the above intention was to eventually place the .svg in some sort of website creation software such as Muse. Which is precisely what I am attempting. However, I am getting a white background once I place or copy and paste into Muse. My starting .psd has a transparent background without any hidden layers causing this problem. To test this I placed the .psd file into Muse and it still has a transparent background. However when opening or placing this file into illustrator, it picks up a white background. If I do exactly as described above, I still get the same result. So far I have tried:
1) Simple copy and paste from Photoshop .svg to illustrator to Muse. Result - white background.
2) Placing the .psd in illustrator, then placing the .svg file in muse. Result - white background.
4) I have also tried the every combination of 1 and 2. - Result - white background.
3) I have now created a path in Photoshop from the text layer to yet again attempt the above methods. Result - white background.
I'm including an image of the object I am trying to place with transparent background, but I have both a flattened rasterized version, a version complete with layers and a third (.svg) with the corresponding objects. I am completely new to Illustrator as of today so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Link to .psd file "Welcome text"

I was having some difficulties getting the correct dimensions of one of my objects, I eventually solved this problem without using svg. It was pretty simple when I stopped trying to over complicate things. I just linked the object to a near by object in photoshop, merged and placed it all as one. It looks great now. Thanks for your reply. You are correct, SVG was not the answer.

I place a psd file with transparent background on another layer in my InDesign document. The layer b

I placed a psd file with transparent background on another layer in my InDesign document. The layer below has a color (RGB). When the psd file is placed it changes the color on the layer below. I've tried other psd files thinking something is wrong with my file, but get the same result. I have tried for days to figure this out. Can anyone help me?

Wow, thank you! That was fast. I googled that question to death and even bought (another) book on CS5 and never saw that answer. Thank you so much. You made a very good ending to my day! I'd buy you a beer if I could!!

Images with transparent backgrounds in MDM

I've got several images in MDM with transparent backgrounds, yet when i look at these in image manager (or thumbnails in data manager) they look terrible. The transparency is black for example, among other issues. These images are all okay in photoshop, they have been saved as .png and imported through the data manager.
Has this import ruined these image files on the way in? When my search engines etc extract the images, what of the transparencies?

Hi Adam,
MDM makes use of Internet Explorer quite frequently. I can imagine that this engine is also used to display images in MDM. However, Internet Explorer in version 6 does not support transparency in PNG images. That is why the black background occurs.
Since your images after upload are only saved in a binary object in the database, you should not encounter any data loss when using the same images. If you need to create variants, I would consider using Photoshop for the creation of those.
I hope that helps you further.
Best regards
Christian

Image with transparent background shows up with a white background in ID

Amateur needs help.
I have a copy of a logo with a transparent background. I made the (white) background transparent in PS by creating a layer from background and then selecting the white color in the background and deleting it. This has always worked in the past. But when I place this image into ID, it shows up with a white background. I have tried saving as a PSD, TIF, JPG, etc. I cannot get it to work.
I normally research these things until I find an answer, but I am on a tight deadline. Thanks!

I totally forgot to put that in my post. Yes, I am putting logos with transparent backgrounds in front of colored rectangles. That's how I noticed that this one logo is showing up with a white background. The weird thing is that the other two logos are fine. I did find a different version of this logo and this one works fine. The one that works fine is a JPG and the one that shows up with a white background is a JPG.

Combining 100 pngs with transparent background, vertically into one image PSE9

As the question suggests,
In PSE9 is it possible to combine 100+ PNG files (with identical dimensions & transparent background) into a single PNG file where the images are stacked vertically? and without trimming/cropping the transparent part of the image! I want to retain the exact original image dimensions so that they all stack neatly and precisely.
So far what I've tried is opening up the 100 PNG files in PSE9, create a new document with transparent background using the same width as the individual files and the height set to the individual file height multiplied by 100. (i.e. original image is 36 x 120 so the new file will be 36 x 12000) Then I get stuck! Whenever I drag a single file into the newly created document, it seems to be cropped to the image edges and no longer retains it's original height and width. Not to mention that hand dragging 100 files seems like a long-winded way of doing things... My automate button seems to be greyed out (so no contact sheet?) and I can't find any other automated process.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

Please compare the resoultion of the two documents too. And a better way of arranging the layers would be to use distribute option in the move tool. You can find more about the move tool at http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/moving-copying-selections.html#main-pars_h eading_0
Thus your workflow would be:
Create a new document with the required dimension.
Use File>Place to place all your png files on the created document as layers
Use distribute option in move tool
A still better workflow would be to use put all the files in a folder and write an ExtendScript to read the files and place them as layers on the document of said dimension

Masking and clip art with transparent backgrounds

I'm new to iWeb and am creating a travel blog. So far love the simplicity of it. However, when I try to add clip art type images or graphics with transparent backgrounds I always get a white border around them. I have tried to mask or crop the border out but no dice. Any help?!
Also, if anyone can recommend a good source for travel or photo related clip art let me know. The iWeb "Roadtrip" template seems to have some cute items - maps, scissors, tape, etc. - but there is not much there.
Thanks everyone.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That's the default border for added image files. Go to the Inspector/Graphic pane and take off the frame/stroke that is added by default.

Be sure to post a request to remove that default border at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html. The more complaints the better.

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.
Best Regards,
Amy Peng

Help! Transparent Backgrounds in Pics Keep Disappearing

I'm hoping someone out there can help me! I've used picture images with transparent backgrounds throughout my site. They work well except when I try using them in the photo layout template. When I initially add the photos they have the transparent background and I'm able to save and reopen with the transparency preserved. However, every time I shut down iWeb then reopen the file later a white background has been substituted for the transparency. It doesn't matter what file format I use (.png, .gif, .pdf....). If I open the original in Photoshop, transparency is still there. It's weird since it's only the images in the photo template not anywhere else on my site.
This is driving me insane. Has anyone else encountered this and can provide some guidance?
Much appreciated,
Dodge

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. iPhoto does not have to be closed to use it, just idle. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Png files with transparent background show black only in firefox for android

I have a wix created site and png files with transparent backgrounds are showing with a black blackground in Firefox for Android. They show transparent in all other browsers I have tried.
I have tried saving the file as a gif, as a smaller png, interlaced, not interlaced, png 8, png24. It still shows black in Firefox for Android.

Hi evelswoman,
Thank you for your question. This sounds like a good one for the web compatibility team. Currently there are some compatibility documentation for background-image here: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/background-image] and more details on background: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/background]
Filling a bug with webcompat.com with an example url can go a long way as well, I hope this helps.

Video with Transparent background

Hi I am trying to create a video through Adobe Premiere Elemements 10 that has a transparent background.
I need it to be in .FLV, .SWF or .MP4 format.
I have created the alpha etc but i think i am not exporting it correctly.
Can anyone explain the steps for creating the video with transparent background and how to export it for those file types please?
thanks.

I've not used the software, as I said a quick google threw it up. From looking at their further screens (http://www.increditools.com/flash_video_studio/features.php#flash8alpha) and (http://www.increditools.com/flash_video_studio/samples.php#flash8alpha) a probable workflow would be to create an original in PRE against your green screen and export this as DV (for standard resolution) or HDV (for HiDef). Once in the Flash software it is probably then just a case of using an eyedropper to turn your green screen transparent.
However your best option would be to install it and play around. Looking at their FAQ, similarly to the PRE trial, it installs as a trial version that will place a watermark across your finished video.
If you do try it out please be sure to post back here about its effectiveness - it may help others.
Cheers,
Neale
