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 can i make a Transparent background in flash

    I'm developing a web page for a small business I'm new to
    flash, I have been trying to learn flash for a vary long time and
    only recently had the time and resources to do it. I have
    secsessfuly made the menu and actions to work how i wanted them to
    so when you hover over the butten a drop down menu apears however
    my problem is when i export this to the web page a white background
    is present. i need it to be transparent so you can see the web page
    under the flash menu. how can i obtain this effect?

    In your publish settings, under the HTML tab is a dropdown
    under "Window Mode". Select Transparent Windowless and hit publish.
    It will generate all the needed code to do what you ask, copy that
    and insert it into your desired page.
    Basically learn from the flash generated example, its
    properties in the embed code that have it set to "transparent".
    Take a look at the source code on to see a live example.

  • How do you make images transparent in inDesign?

    How do you make images transparent in Adobe InDesign CS5.5?

    It IS possible: Select the image. Open effects (Window > Effects). Switch from "normal" to "multiply". Viola! White background is gone.
    That only works with a white background. In addition, it introduces a transparency effect, with its associated problems.
    With a rather light background: Select the image. Open clipping path (Object > Clipping Path > Options). Select Type > Detect Edges; use Threshold and Tolerance to get as close as possible to the edge of your image. This may be difficult because of a too low resolution image, or too much fringe on the edge -- if all fails, use the Inset Frame value to force the mask "into" the image. Click OK, and the background is gone.
    But that's not the only way: you can always create a clipping path manually, and then you are in total control, not limited by transparency side effects, auto-edge detection, and busy backgrounds.

  • How can I make images transparent in my documents?

    I've got InDesign CS5.5 and like to save my banners, etc. that I create as a jpeg but when I try to use them on something else it has a white background.  How can I make sure the backgrounds are transparent?

    I didn't know that about the png in CS6.  Thanks for letting me know.
    Unfortunately, I don't have Photoshop.  I just recently purchased Photoshop Elements.  I haven't really done much on it as I have other projects I need to work on. Do you know if I would be able to convert in that program?
    Wish I could afford a newer version of InDesign but I can't.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • How do you make a 3d octagon in photoshop cs4 extended?

    How do you make a 3d octagon in photoshop cs4 extended that you can map artwork to? I've been searched online for a solution that doesn't involve using a 3D program but can't find anything. Can't you extrude a shape like in Illustrator, or exporta true 3D shape from Illustrator that will work? I'd use Illustrator but the mapping thing is finicky, and doesn't alow wrapping images around angles. (now someones going to say: "Don't mention any other programs in a PHotoshop forum!" Yeah yeah, there should be a forum then about using different Adobe programs together.) End of rant, any suggestions much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Suggested Bridge Update
    It turns out that I got a message that this update had already been installed, which led me to more carefully look at the Bridge window and (finally) see that the Output module had a Quality dropdown: Full, 300 ppi, 150 ppi, 96 ppi and 72 ppi.  Thanks!  I decided to compare the CS4/Bridge results to those I got in CS2 with its convenient File/Automate/PDF Presentation/Multi-Page Document routine that I like.
    My project was an 8-page PDF made from scanned pages of handwritten notes into which some fairly small type had been insert using the Photoshop CS2 Type tool.  In Photoshop CS2, I had settled on "medium quality" JPEG compression as giving a "reasonable" file size (about 7 MB) and "very good/excellent" image quality.  I experimented with making the PDF in Bridge, using all five Quality levels.  See table below.  The Bridge "good minus" file was about the same size as the file produced in CS2, which I judged to be "very good/excellent" and slightly better visually than the 300-ppi, 23.5-MB Bridge file.
    Bridge Quality:
    Full
    300 ppi
    150 ppi
    96 ppi
    72 ppi
    File Size:
    25.2 MB
    23.5 MB
    7.6 MB
    3.2 MB
    2.1 MB
    Subjective Quality:
    Very good
    Very good
    Good minus
    Poor
    Useless
    I appreciate that you may not be all that interested in these observations, but it seems to me that Adobe has done us no favors in the multi-page PDF department in going from CS2 to CS4!
    Install the Old Contact Sheet/Picture Package Plug-Ins
    I had already done this some time ago, in order to get in CS4 the File/Automate/Contact Sheet II feature I liked in CS2.  It does not appear to me that this plug-in has anything to do with make multi-page PDF's.  Perhaps I'm missing something.
    Again, thanks for your response!

  • Trying to import files with transparent backgrounds into Premier Elements 10

    I am struggling to import files from Photoshop CS3 into Premier Elements 10 and preserve their transparent background. I have tried .png (8 and 24 bit), .gif and .psd files. I have tried rasterizing the type layer before "Saving for web and devices" but can't get anything to work. The imported files end up as either text on a white background (.gif) or the file imports as a black background with no type visible (.png and .psd). I have read a few forums but can't find any suggestions beyond what I have already tried. I also get the same problem if I "Save for web and devices" out of Illustrator.
    Any suggestions much appreciated.

    You have brought up one very interesting maintaining transparency question which I feel goes more to the trigger on the
    Premiere Elements Videomerge pop up than to the Photoshop CS2 Save As with or without a check mark for Maximum Compatibility
    And, I find that Photoshop CS5.1 as well as CS2 involvement in this matter is the same.
    I created three 720 x 480 pixels documents, each with a blue colored circle on a transparent background in
    Photoshop CS2 and saved each
    psd with check mark next to Maximize Compatibility
    psd with no check mark next to Maximize Compatibility
    png
    Each of them was imported into a NTSC DV Standard Premiere Elements 11 Windows 7 64 bit project.
    Each triggered the Premiere Elements 11 Videomerge pop up.
    If I checked No for the program request to apply Videomerge, then all 3 results were the same, that is,
    the area around the circle was transparent and the circle was not...just the way it was created in Photoshop CS2.
    So, why was the Videomerge message telling me "Clip being dropped contains solid background color" when
    it had transparency represented by black and did not have a solid background color?
    Even more interesting was what happened if I selected Yes to the program's request to
    apply Videomerge to create transparency for what it claimed to be seeing as "solid background color".
    The result was the same for all three cases, that is, the inside content of the circle became transparent
    and the "black background" became a "solid color".
    Videomerge is not one of my preferred Premiere Elements options.
    To avoid the Videomerge pop up, I would suggest placing a check mark next to the "Do not show again.",
    followed by No in the Videomerge pop up. When you do, you should not be confused by the activities of the
    Videomerge pop up activities and you should have no problems with the maintenance of the Photoshop
    created transparency in the Premiere Elements project.

    How can I edit photos in iPhoto in Photoshop Elements?  I select PE in iPhoto preferences but they stay in iPhoto for editing.

    Here's something you can try with a copy of your current library.
    1 - go to iPhoto's Events preference pane and set the auto split option to 1 day per even.
    2 - go the the Events mode, select all Events.
    3 - go to the Events menu  and and select Autosplit Selected Events.
    which will give you an event for each day.
    4 - again select all events (although it might be better do to fewer at a time) and export them to your desired destination via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export  menu option with the following settings:
    The workflow above will produce a folder for each days photos with the date as the folder's title.
