How do I export an image as transparent in CS4?

I just upgraded from CS to CS4; in CS, to export a photo as transparent (EPS) was super easy, there was such an option in the Help menu and was done with just a few click of buttons. In CS4 this option is gone and I can't figure out how to do this operation. Does anyone have a clue?
Thanks ahead.

Is there anyone who can give a clear answer on how to easily create a clipping mask (with clipping path) around an object (item isolated from a photo using QuickMask mode in PS). Basically, i had a photo of a laptop and using quickmask I extracted it from all other elements in the photo leaving just the laptop with an apparently transparent area around it. I had also done this with an image of a person. I used to use the export as transparency wizard in CS2 to automatically make the clipping path around the object to help avoid issues with potential postscript printers.
I am getting alot of great assistance and I am grateful for those taking their time out to help, but I am not getting a clear direction on how to accomplish this one task in CS4 PS which appears to be simple and also confusing for others as there are alot of people on the forums trying to figure the same info out.
I understand InDesign may be better than AI for this layout work and importing this image there may solve all my problems, but for the sake of needing to find this solution for a task that was once possible and seems so simple, if someone can help by defining the new procedure, it would be appreciated. It would also put an end to the quantity of posts on the same subject.

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.

How do I export my images from iPhoto 9.4, to an external drive?

How do I export my images from iPhoto 9.4, to an external drive?
mainly to back them up without using time machine.
Thanks

Just the Images?
File -> Export
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
To back up the Library: that is images, organisation, edit history etc etc
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

How to export my image with transparent bkground (CC)

Before I ask my question, I want to point out I am currently exporting my image by going to File>Export>.PNG>(72PPI+Transparent)
The issue im running into is; for example when I am exporting text, I am also exporting a certain amount of area around my image. How can I export the exact outline of my image? I have posted a screen shot of what im refering to.
When I wanted to use my text image for a website I was building I noticed I couldnt get the image to center. I opened the image in paint and noticed I was exporting the area around my image aswell and not just the image itself. Hopefully the screen shots can explain my scenario a little better...
I would like to export the text outline only. As you can see in paint I am exporting a fixed area around my image.
ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!!! THANK YOU -JON-

The image was created in Illustrator. I opened the file in Photoshop and I see that area around my image aswell. I would like to just export the highlighted area. When im exporting through Illustrator, I would like to export a tighter area the image, not so much area around

How can I export an image from Illustrator same canvas size and custom resolution?

Hey all. i am using Adobe Illustrator CS5 for creating images for iPhone app icons the size of image 374 px 374 px and 264 ppi. i created an image same size and ppi .the problem after export the image file size changing to 1371px x 1371px and 264 ppi pixel dimension.How can I export same canvas size and same resolution file from illustrator

10111980,
If you just forget about PPI and use Save for Web, you will get the 374 x 374 pixel size.
The 1371 x 1371 pixels is because you somehow increase the resolution by 264/72.
You should never mix pixel by pixel sizes and PPI.
The 374 x 374 pixels is the actual image size. At 264 PPI that will be about 1.417 inches. At 72 PPI that will be about 5.194 inches.

How To Powershell export sql image file to csv

Why are you suggesting that? Why can't we handle this here, considering that this is a PowerShell forum and the question is about PowerShell?
The real problem is that we don't have enough information from the OP.
JPatterson99 - it would be helpful to see your code and your errors. Also, can you please clarify what 'export an image my sql2008 server and save it in a csv file' means?

How do I export raw images? Do presets work?

I am having trouble exporting full size images. I have a custom "preset" but inspite of this a 25mb photo comes out at 6mb or less. An ideas as to what I am missing?

TIFF will, but so will JPG with the right settings. 16-bit TIFF will retain more color information than 8-bit TIFF or JPG (which is limited to 8-bit).
An important and difficult point is that the DPI setting in the export preset has no effect on your image size or file size. Image size is measured in pixels. You most likely want to select "original size". File size (in bytes) is determined by Image size (pixels), color-depth (a/k/a "bit depth"), and compression. Compression is determined by the file format (JPG compresses unless set to highest quality -- JPG _is_ an image-compression file format developed for the Web -- TIFF is almost always uncompressed).
DPI is used by the _output device_ -- the printer or monitor on which the Image will be "printed" -- to determine printed size in inches.
You can set DPI in the Aperture print dialog to _anything_ and it will not change the pixel dimensions or the file size of the file you create.
RAW, btw, describes a family of proprietary sensor data file formats. RAW files are not image files -- to create a viewable image file a RAW file must be converted (by, naturally, a program called a RAW converter) to an image-format file. Aperture has a RAW converter built into it.
So, to the task at hand: crop your Image and make whatever adjustments you want. Export your Image as a 16-bit TIFF set to "original size" and put "300" in the DPI field (to make the print house staff happy). Send them the file.
Note that the rule-of-thumb is 300 _pixels_ for every inch of paper to be covered, in order to produce very sharp prints that can withstand scrutiny up close. The further from a picture the viewer stands, the fewer pixels per inch are needed to make the picture appear sharp. Some billboards are probably printed at about 4 pixels per inch.

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

help would be great! :o)

How do I get an image background transparent in pages?

I was wondering how to get the white solid background of an image transparent in pages, keynote has this feature but does pages? I can't seem to find it.
Thanks for the help

I think you are asking about:
Menu > Format > Alpha > Instant Alpha > run your cursor over the background you want as transparent
Which is exactly the same as in Keynote and even in the same place on the menus.
If you just wanted the image to be transparent;
Inspector > Graphic > Opacity > reduce
Also exactly the same as in Keynote

Should be OK to create your image in the respective pixel dimensions and then export at 72 ppi.

How do I Export Raw images from Iphoto to Adobe Photo Elements 4

I recently purchased Photo elements 4 because I could import images from Iphoto in Raw format and work with them. Everything I have read and the instructional video sent to me by Adobe make it look and sound very easy but so far I have had no success.
I have been able to open Bridge and view photos from Iphoto so it seems to me that everything that I have in Iphoto is automatically transfered to Elements 4. However I can not find my Raw images. What am I doing wrong or failing to do and is there some logical sequence that I have to follow to import Raw images.
I am using a Nikon D200 and just to be safe I have been shooting so the images are saved both in JPEG and RAW.
Thanks for any help you can provide

dakota8,
iPhoto and Adobe Bridge are incompatible, so you need to decide which one you want to use (for which photos). iPhoto is a database, with many flexible features for organizing your library and finding your photos. Bridge is a file browser with some organizing capabilities. You absolutely should not use Bridge or any other application (Finder included) to browse the files inside your iPhoto Library folder, as it will damage the iPhoto database. To verify, click on iPhoto's Help and read the section "About using the iPhoto Library."
If you want to keep your RAW files in iPhoto, then you'll need to open them from iPhoto. As Dave E said, this can be done by setting the iPhoto pref to export RAW files. You also need to set PE 4 as the external editor in iPhoto's preferences. With this setup, you can select photos using iPhoto, open the RAW files into PE 4, then edit. Now comes the wrinkle in the workflow. Normally, you would do a Save to cause your edited file to be saved back into the iPhoto library. This Save, not Save As, requires that the filename and extension stay the same. Works great with jpeg files. However, once you edit the RAW, the extension (and file format) must change. Save will not work, because any save at this point is treated like a Save As. So you have to Save As to a folder OUTside of your iPhoto Library, and then import it in as a new file. There will be no link between the edited version and its unedited RAW file. You could organize inside iPhoto to display the edited file beside its original RAW, or keep separate rolls for the originals and edits.
With that in mind, you might not want to save the RAW files in iPhoto at all. You could create your own filing system for them, which you would browse using Bridge. Upload using Image Capture to save your files to a folder of your choice. Once you edit the RAW files and save as another format, you could them import into iPhoto for cataloging or further editing. You'll just have to find the system that works best for you.
BTW, don't save your edited RAW files as Adobe RAW. I tried and discovered that iPhoto refuses to import them at all.
I have been able to open Bridge and view photos from Iphoto so it seems to me that everything that I have in Iphoto is automatically transfered to Elements 4.
There's no transferring involved at all. Bridge is rooting directly inside the iPhoto Library folder. Did I mention that it's best to avoid this?
However I can not find my Raw images.
When you import a file it is saved into the Originals folder. Your RAW files are there, along with any video clips you may have imported.
iPhoto automatically creates a jpeg version of your RAW files and stores it in the Modified folder. It has to do this in order to display the picture on your screen. With video clips, a jpeg of the first frame is created for display purposes.
I am using a Nikon D200 and just to be safe I have been shooting so the images are saved both in JPEG and RAW.
If you import both versions into iPhoto, then you have
Originals - RAW
Modified - jpeg
Originals - jpeg
(Modified - jpeg - if you edit the jpeg version or if they are auto-rotated to portrait orientation)
I don't shoot in RAW, so I can't really comment about which workflow would be the most efficient. I just played with it long enough to realize that there is no easy way to do it.
Regards.

HT201109 How do I export the images from FinalCutProX?

Hey,
I recently was working on a movie for a company and I used a bunch of still images (jpegs) to make the movie... I imported all of my images into final cut pro x as I believed I would only be making the video. The company now wants all of the images (jpegs) that I took, for their records... Is there anyway to export all of the images that I have on my final cut pro x into: Iphoto, USB or a cd? I would appreciate any help you guys can give on this subject.
Thanks!

It should be fairly easy.
All your content should be inside your library.
Control-click the library in Finder, "Show Package Contents", navigate to the Original Media folder, sort by kind, and drag the jpeg files to your pen drive.
