Unless you tell us how you went about it, I don't see how we can try to help you. Tell us your work flow step-by-step. Also, please you post the picture that you started with. You can do that via the camera icon at the top of the reply box here. However, you can not do it in an e-mail reply.

  • Creating a transparent GIF in Photoshop CS4

    I am new to Photoshop CS4 and I'm finding it a bit of a 'challenge'.
    I would like to create a transparent GIF of my signature, so that I can put it into various documents.
    My signature is on a white background and is written using a blue ball point pen and is scanned in as a colored GIF file.
    Despite having Googled how to do that I am completely stumped.  They talk about using the lasso tool to draw around my signature (which I do) and then they say press the delete key.  Well, on my iMac NOTHING happens!
    Can anyone offer me a simple tutorial (for the Mac) that can walk me through creating a transparent GIF file of my signature?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Load luminance or the channel with the best contrast by command-clicking the appropriate channel in the Channels Panel
    It seems hard to make it more clear …
    Command-click (hold the command-key pressed while clicking) the composite Channel’s icon (or any of the other channels’ if you should deem them preferable) in the Channels Panel.
    This should load a Selection.
    I would like to create a transparent GIF of my signature, so that I can put it into various documents.
    Where do you want to do that anyway (Photoshop, some layout-software, a browser …)?
    Because depending on that using a file-format of fairly limited features like gif could seem inadvisable.
    the problem I have with Photoshop CS4 is that when I enter the help system it goes to the web and give me help for Photoshop CS5!!!!
    You should be able to download the Help as a pdf here:

    If psd doen’t mean anything to you you should look it up.

  • How do I create a transparent watermark for video from a white background logo in AI CC?

    If I have a .PNG logo with a white background, how do I create a transparent watermark to use in video and photo content using Illustrator CC? Whenever I import the logo, it opens a new window without a transparent background. Thank you!

    It's fairly easy if you know Ai. (Image trace is okay, but I'd recommend making your own (the right way), then use any Adobe pro video app to composite on your video, no need to export, just use the .Ai file)
    But an easier way might be to use the .png by itself if it carries an alpha channel.
    After Effects, PremierePro, and possibly AME will let you do this.
    QT7 will also allow you to do it.
    You could create a logo in Draw, then send it to Illustrator or Photoshop (it carries an alpha channel - bonus!)

  • How do you create a transparent background in AE

    Hi--I'm using AE CS5 on a MacBook Pro and I'm brand new to using AE.
    How do you create a transparent background?
    I need it because I'm creating a shatter effect on a photo and want to import the AE movie into FCP and have it play on one layer while beneath it  another image will be seen when the shatter effect takes place.
    He'p me, cap'n!
    Thanks!

    Hey Guys, thanks for your replys!!
    Wow, there's a lot to check out there--great!
    I hope I'm on the right track, I just watched the video about preserving transparency and maybe I'm stupid, maybe cause I'm new, but I just want to be sure I'm on the right track. Sorry if my question was confusing, maybe cause I am a bit new.
    To reiterate: I want to export a short AE movie of a shatter glass effect on a picture. The background needs to be transparent because I will import the AE movie into FCP and place it as the top layer. On a layer beneath it will be video I want to seen as the shatter glass effect creates a 'hole'.
    I believe this url tells me how to do that: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/930588
    Thanks again!

    how do i make a transparent background in Photoshop Elements 13

    Open the picture file
    Use one of the selection tools to select the foreground
    Place the selection on its own layer (Layer>New>Layer via copy or CTRL+J) - this will be Layer 1
    Delete the background layer
    If you want to save it, use a file format which supports transparency, e.g.PNG

    How do you create a layout template into photoshop elements 8

    You have to do it manually.
    Use the marquee tools to define the components of the template, then apply a stroke via the Edit menu. It's best to place the stroke on a separate layer, and position with the move tool.
    You may fine it helpful to have the grid open for orientation.

  • How to add text to transparent gif?

    Hi, I'm using Photoshop 6.01. with Windows 7 Professional.  I have a transparent gif file, to which I want to add text, including bullets.  The stuff I want to add is now on one of my webpages, and so is the gif, but I want to combine the image and the text.  Is there a way to do this?  If so, how?
    Thanks.

    If I understand what you are after and due to the point that Marion made. It would be wise to overlay the html text onto the graphic. To do so I recommend that you do a bit of research on CSS for absolute position and placement.
    But this assumes that the text in the html fits your needs. If you require special effects applied to the text or even fonts that are not supported via html, then you are more or left forced to use either photoshop or flash.

  • Logo image distored when creating a transparent gif and png

    Hi all,
    Creating a logo for my department with little or no graphic design exp.  I'm experiencing issues when saving the file as a transparent GIF or PNG.  The GIF removes the 300 dpi setting that the print shop needs to turn this into a poster and the PNG is creating some jagged edges around my logo.  The image is 2000 pixels and about 7 in. by 7 in.
    Any help would be appreciated.  I can email the PSD to anyone if they can help.  Here is the PNG:
    And here is the GIF:

    There was no abuse, just an observation. Would an abusive person be trying to help you? Is there a crime in suggesting that one prepare themselves with more experience before taking on a project like this?
    Aside from low resolution, there were a few other signs that you might be in over your head with a logo design. Logos are typically created in a vector program (not Photoshop).
    I cannot imagine a reputable print shop asking you for a PNG or GIF file when there are so many better formats.

  • How can I create an iPhoto Library from photos on an external drive?

    Here's my issue:
    I have a MacBook Pro running OS X Mavericks, and I am just about out of hard drive space.
    I also have about 20 GB worth of photos on an external drive. The photos are not organized at all, just got dumped into a folder there during a hasty backup a couple years ago.
    I'd like to use iPhoto to get these photos organized, but don't have the space to import them into the library on my laptop.
    How can I create and manage an iPhoto library with these photos while keeping them on the external drive? They are on a terabyte drive, so I have a feeling I'd like to make that my main library moving forward.

    Check that the drive's formatted as Mac OS Extended, drag the iPhoto library to it, launch iPhoto with the Option key held down, and choose that library.

  • How can i create multiple versions of a photo in ios8?

    I Often want to create different versions of the same photo....with different crops, contrast, etc and keep them.  In iPhoto, that was done with the duplicate command, but there does not seem to be the same capability in ios8.  Any ideas?

    How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project?
    You can't. You make separate projects using the same or different clips, segments, transitions, titles, etc. You can even duplicate the first project and then modify/make the desired changes in the duplicated project. Each project can then be burned as a different DVD or as different titles on the same DVD if there is enough room.
