How do I get a tranparent background?

I have some black text on white background. Just like what you are seeing right here in this post.
I'd like to drag the text over some photos. How do I get rid of the white background so I do this? Thanks!

If the text is merged into the white background, you would have to use Mylenium's method.
If it is like that, personally I would type the text again in a new file.
If you want to copy the same text, for example a logotype, on to several images I would create an action to do it.

  • How do I get a white background with black lines

    How do I get a white background with black lines and characters on my screen. To run the program, copy it out and delete the ` and it should go. If it does not compile on your machine, I would like to know. There is a test on about line 34 for changing the colors.

    How do I get a white background with black lines and characters on
    my screen.Contrary to what you might think, the linebIG2.setBackground(Color.white);does not give the buffered image a white background. The API docs
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/awt/Graphics2D.html#setBackground(java.awt.Color)
    say: "Setting the background color in the Graphics2D context only
    affects the subsequent clearRect calls... " So adding a line to your
    if blocks we getif (false) {
        bIG2.setBackground(Color.white);
        bIG2.clearRect(0, 0, buIm.getWidth(), buIm.getHeight());
    if (false) {
        bIG2.setColor(Color.black);                    
    }Changing the false to true results in a white background (and black
    X and text).

  • How do I get a transparent background on the down level stage?

    How do I get a transparent background on the down level stage?

    I haven't tested this, but in your xxx_edge.js file, it looks like the stage background color is set here:
    states: {
          "Base State": {
             "${_Stage}": [
                ["color", "background-color", 'rgba(255,255,255,1)'],
                ["style", "overflow", 'hidden'],
                ["style", "height", '400px'],
                ["style", "width", '550px']
    Try changing the last value in the rgba value from 1 to 0.
    Let us know how it goes!

  • In Adobe Elements, how do I get rid of background noise in my audio?

    I just bought a USB microphone to help with my narrations on adobe elements. How do i get rid of the feedback and the echoing noises in the background of my audio?

    supersam9
    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Classically USB microphones do not work with Premiere Elements (any version) for use with its Narration Tool. Have you found otherwise?
    Where is the noise - in narration clips produced by the Narration Tool or from imported audio files added to numbered Audio Tracks and/or soundtrack?
    From what you wrote, it appears that the audio noises are confined to the narration being produced with your microphone and Premiere Elements Narration Tool. Is that correct?
    Under fx Effects there are audio effects that you can explore to reduce noise. See Reference Effects Adobe document for a description of the fx Effects audio effects.
    Adobe Premiere Elements 11 * Effects reference
    If you use the same microphone and create your narration in Audacity and import that narration into a Premiere Elements project, do you get noise in your narration?
    Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
    Besides making sure that your microphone is compatible with Premiere Elements, have you evaluated your narration recording techniques...how close are you to the microphone, room noise level while recording, etc.

  • How do I get rid of background noise?

    Trying to get rid of background music from a speech given. The speech was infront of a mic so that audio is strong. Just need to get rid of the music in the background. Any suggestions?

    FYI: Much of noise reduction depends on what "type" of noise you are trying to eradicate. E.g., in a sample piece of footage involving an interview with a lady in a cafe, there was a busy street outside.. just at the point in a critical line in her speech you could hear a break squeal in the background, you know, that high pitch squeal you hear from disc brakes from a vehicle!
    Interesting bit! > What I learnt was that I could visualize the squeal frequency in the spectrum analyser.. it was very clear to see the offending noise.. then to eradicate it (and ONLY the break sequel) Using the mouse pointer I could simply select the spectrum print of the actual noise and press Delete! Amazing! Very quick but most importantly, absolutely no effect of the dynamics of the surrounding audio. Very Cool!

  • How can I get a white background?

    Dowloaded trial version of 5 for Windows at work.....found Control L takes you to eyedropper that is white.
    Cool...
    NOW: Have a MAC at home. Bought 4 today and I cannot find the above feature.
    How can I (easily) get the eye dropper to be white not gray. or...does the Windows function Control L also exist in MAC but is a different shortcut?
    Thanks......loosing my mind

    Barbara ~ Its sort of what I am trying to do. I make fused glass jewelry and am working in getting some clear shots for my website. Currently using an EZ photo cube which helps reduce shadows and better light for the novice. Having a white, or close as possible background helps the pieces pop a bit more and shows their true colors.
    Due to the color shifts in dicroic glass, it can be really hard to get a good picture of what it really looks like.

  • 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

  • How can I get the foreground/background swatches in my panel?

    Howdy all-
    Been loving this forum, it's been extremely helpful getting started with Configurator. I'm pulling together a panel for my students to guide their retouching work and the last thing I am trying to get in is the foreground/background swatches like at the bottom of the toolbar. Is this possible? I haven't found it in the provided libraries- is it something that would need a script or am I looking in the wrong places?
    thanks so much again for the forum and any help anyone can provide.

    Hi
    You can only switch foreground/background color   or   set them to default color
    As in the previous thread ( by ipf55 )
    you have the possibility to insert the color picker.
    so the workaround is :
    switch to foreground ( or background as you prefer)
    choose a color with the color picker button (Now the foreground is  set with the color you choosed)
    then repeat te step for the background
    to choose a color you could also ( e.g.) insert into your panel a button that open the swatches panel

  • How do I get a transparent background behind a graphic?

    I haven't worked in Indesign in two years, and forgot a lot, but I'm getting up to speed for a new job.  While, I'm designing collateral, I need to get clip art and graphics placed in the document, but everything is coming in with the dreaded white box behind it, and I can't find a quick way to delete it or make the background transparent.  I don't work in Photoshop, and I don't have time to work this one out.  I used to send images to my service bureau or the printer to fix this, but now with budget cuts, I have to do this myself.  After all these years, isn't there an easy way to get the image to be transparent in InDesign? 
    Thanks so much. 

    This really hasn't changed in recent versions of InDesign. There is a very rudimentary way of dropping out backgrounds which only works if you have an image on a white or very light background called Detect Edges. Choose View > High Quality Display. Select the image, then choose Object > Clipping Path > Detect Edges.
    You adjust the Treshold setting and Tolerance setting to try to select the best result. The best result isn't of professional quality. It might work for a quick comp.
    Basically, you need to learn to do it in Photoshop. You need to use Photoshop methods to select the background and delete it to create an image with transparency which you can place in InDesign. Or you need to use the older methods of creating a Clipping Path or an Alpha Channel. Then you can select those options in Object > Clipping Path.

  • How to I get a transparent background in CS4 ?

    I have a Mac computer and am following Lynda.com's tutorials, but I haven't been able to find anything about how to clear the background of a photo so that I can give it another background.  Could anybody help me?

    Ok.
    Open image > select the background layer > Right click and duplicate layer > reselect the background layer and delete it by clicking on the bin at the bottom of the pallet. Now your image is as a layer. if you select the eraser tool then select brush from the mode dropdown option at the top of the screen then you can change the size of the brush either by the short keys "[=smaller or ]=larger" or by using the brush sizing tool then you can erase a way! let me know if that helps?

    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    *Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    *Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    *Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    *Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    *Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
    Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"

  • Live Type  How do you get a transparent background?

    Im trying to create just text for FCP using Live Type, but no matter what I do when I export the Live Type movie, Its exporting with a black background. I went into the settings and changed everything around and tried everything. Opacity levels, render background, etc.. I either get the color I choose or black when it should be transparent. I know there has to be a way to just creat text with no background. Much help needed!

    When you render your movie, make sure you don't have the "render background" box checked.
    Once your movie is rendered it is displayed with text over a black backgournd but rest assured when you put your rendered .mov text into Final Cut it will have an alpha channel and not a black background.
