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 do I save an image (logo) transparent so that it will appear transparent on any color background such as a gradient or black?

    How do I save an image (logo) transparent so that it will appear transparent on any color background such as a gradient or black?
    I save image as "transparent" at File > New... but when I place on a gradient background it keeps appearing white. I'm trying to save transparent to be effective on any color such as a gradient or black.  How do I truly save as transparent?

    Put the logo on its own layer set the layer fill to 0 and add a layer style to the logo layer.  Here I duped one change fill to 0 added style.

  • 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).

  • Setting image background transparent

    I want to know how can I set the background of an existing images to transparent. I am a web desginer and currently i want's to change background color of one of my site http://twxdroid.com but here the problem arises that some of my used images background won't match up site background, so someone plz tell me how to change existing image background transparent. I heard about using magic wand selection tool or quick selection tool to make transparent but still can't figure out how to use them.

    • if the Layer is a Background Layer change it to a regular one by double-clicking it
    • make a Selection with whatever Selection Tool is appropriate
    • if you selected the background use Select > Inverse to invert the Selection
    • Layer > Layer Mask > From Transparency
    • if further corrections are needed paint on the Layer Mask – black to hide, white to show the Layer’s content
    • save the layered file as psd, psb or tif
    • File > Save for Web … to save a copy a format that fits your needs (png-24 for example)

  • How can we get the image which is stored in clipboard by labview, is there any functions available like text from clip board

    How can we get the image which is stored in clipboard by labview, i can get the text in clipboard by using invoke node directly.but i cannot get the image, is there any functions or vi available.(image is in Png format)

    The Read from Clipboard method is, unfortunately, limited to text. If the clipboard contains an image then you need to use OS-specific functions calls. This is an example program for Windows. It's old, but it should still work.

    How can I get an image from the screen? Like screen printer in PC to pasting after in word or other program.

    If you do Cmd+Shift+3 you'll get a full screen image saved to your desktop as a jpg file.
    Also, you can use Cmd+Shift+4 and you'll get a cursor which you click+drag to draw a box. When you release the drag the boxed in area will be saved to the Desktop as a jpg file.

    Hi Karen
    You may the sort set to Custom. Click the dropdown menu on the toolbar (to the right of the word sort) and change to capture time.
    If you can’t see the toolbar above the filmstrip press the T key. Press T again to hide.

  • New "Photos" is a piece of JUNK!  How do I get my image numbers to display as imported like they used to? Can no longer make Events or view old events as before either.

    How do I get my image numbers to display as imported like they used to? Can no longer make Events or view old events as before either.
    If this is replacing Aperture and previous iPhoto it is USELESS...WAY fewer options for editing available. New "Photos" is a piece of JUNK!

    Hi.
    I have just migrated my library from Aperture to photos. All seems to have gone smoothly, except for one thing. All of my photos are 'untitled', whereas in both Aperture, and previously iPhoto, the filename was used for the title. If I hit CMD+I and get info, the title is still there as the filename, as I use the filename for all titles.
    Is there a way to batch copy all filenames as photo titles, this was done automatically in Aperture and iPhoto, as when photos were imported the filename was used automatically.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You can create and use a Canvas. (and define the Paint method)
    Canvas c = new Canvas(){
            public void paint(Graphics g){
                g.drawImage(img,0,0,this);
    frame.add(c);
