How do I paste transparent png's

If I copy a transparent PNG image from any web browser on a mac, I can paste said image into illustrator without it losing its transparency, while trying the same on my PC results in the transparent areas of the image turning black... How does one avoid this?
(running illustrator CC 2014)

Are forum users usually this bitter? I really don't understand how using this workflow would be stupid, as you so eloquently put it. You don't know what I'm working on nor how, and it does surprise me that you don't see how it could be time saving... But I don't really mean to discuss process quality or speeds.
Anyone else? If I can do it on a mac, I should be able to do it on a pc as well!

How to fix black borders around transparent PNG files?

Hello,
Recently, iMovie has started putting black borders around transparent PNGs. How can I fix this?

Any way to fix the alpha transparency when importing PNG files to iMovie 09?
I just know the two options - wrong (8bit) png or that plugin, which in an older version destroyed transparency..
what also make transparent-to-black is, when you 'manipulate' the imported png, esp. adding a *KenBurns Effect* - that kills transparency instantly.
for test purposes:
• create a new project
• create a new png with some traansparency
• add new png to new project - same result?
and just to avoid EVERY problem: your sys preferences/Monitor is set to 'million colors'?

With what program are you working and with what version of the program and on what computer operating system?
I suspect that you are working with some version of Photoshop Elements. If that is correct, then be advised that some how
your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing) instead of the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum (photo editing).
If Photoshop Elements question, then please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator
here to see your thread here and move it from here to there.
Photoshop Elements
Thought....if are creating an image on a transparent background in Photoshop Elements Windows for a Premiere Elements Windows project, then you Save As png or psd.
Please clarify if I have misinterpreted your question.
Thank you.

How can I convert an .eps created in AI to a transparent .png

The logo I created in AI is beautiful. I would like an equally beautiful transparent .png for use on my website. Is this possible?

Reddafodil,
Remember to tick Transparency.

Then you should use (at least) PNG24, and certainly not GIF which only has a very limited number of colours; PNG24 has many more than PNG8.

How do you add transparency in Dreamweaver

how do you add transparency in Dreamweaver

With CSS.
Opacity effects everything including text.
#divName {
     opacity: 45%;
RGBA backgrounds allow you to set alpha-transparency in the last value.
#divName {
     background: rgba(0,0,0,0.45);
Or, for older browsers, use a semi-transparent PNG background-image.
#divName {
     background-image: url(my_transparent_BG.png);

Removing background shadow on transparent PNG image without losing shading on the object?

I have a pillow bevel applied to a paint splatter brush image, and I'm having trouble with the shadows. I want to save this splatter as a transparent PNG. The problem is that a drop shadow effect is showing up when I save it this way. I think it's a "shading" setting rather than a true drop shadow, as there is no drop shadow set in the layer styles. The shadow does not appear when a white background is applied. It only shows when the background is transparent. I've tried reducing the shading opacity in the bevel dialogue, and this does get rid of the drop shadow....the problem is that it also removes the shading from the paint splatter, making the image look flat instead of raised. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Good point Curt. First time poster, so I wasn't sure how to include images in my original post. Here they are:
Above is the image saved WITH transparency. Obviously the shadows all around the blue make this unusable.
Here is the exact same image...the only difference is that I saved it with a white background layer behind it in photoshop. As you can see, the shadow artifacts are gone, yet the splatter still maintains its correct shading to keep the raised effect.
Both of these images are saved as png. Any suggestions?

Strange lines appear around transparent PNG's when document PDF'ed

Hi
I have inserted some transparent PNG images into my Pages document, and they look fine on my screen, and they also look fine when I export to PDF and view in Preview.
However, if I view the PDF in Acrobat (or send it to a Non-Mac user and they view it in Acrobat), there are thin lines around many of the PNG images, which make them look ugly and sloppy, and very un-Mac-Like! Any ideas why these lines are appearing and how to prevent them?

Hi logree
Welcome to the forum.
My guess is that it is showing just the edge of the masked background used to hide the alpha channel background of the .png.
This happens I think, because the postscript mask may be centred on the outside rows of pixels in Acrobat, with half the pixels still being revealed.
You can try masking in Pages' instead:
+Menu > Format > Instant Alpha+
or try a Photoshop file with transparent background, to see if that eliminates the problem.

Export to PDF causes fringing around transparent PNGs only in Acrobat

If I export to PDF from Keynote '09 using the "Best" setting, I'm getting black fringing around solid elements in a transparent PNG that was placed in the original keynote doc. This fringing does not occur when the PDF is viewed in Preview. Any suggestions on how to remove the fringing?
Example is here: http://i.imgur.com/3QXGf.jpg
Thanks in advance for the help.

Perhaps my explanation of why this is a problem wasn't clear. The type of PDF links that Pages creates are, quite reasonably, set to highlight when clicked (there are a variety of options in PDF for the visual action of a clicked link; highlight is best for user feedback. In an ideal world, when the user clicks a link in a PDF, you want the a highlight box to appear over the text of the link - exactly over it, not too large, not too small.
Because Pages creates two links for each internal hyperlink, but the user will click only one of them in the PDF (whether in Preview or Acrobat), the highlight is almost guaranteed to be wrong for every click. If the user clicks the top link, only the top two-thirds of the text will highlight, and if the user clicks the bottom link, there will be a weird highlight either on the bottom third of the text or underneath it. It's inconsistent, but in most cases, it's wrong.
Obviously, this is only cosmetic, but it's the kind of mistake that hurts usability and detracts from the user experience, and as far as I can tell, there's absolutely no reason for it, making it a bug.

Transparent PNG images in IE 6

patch script....

<DIV ID="oDiv" STYLE="position:absolute; left:0px;
height:755; width:1002;

You will need a fix for IE6 and below, but apart from that
give it a go,
its much better than gifs.

Create an advanced lightning effect and then export to transparent PNG sequence

Hi,
I am new to AE, so please be kind
I need to generate a lightning effect and then export the frames to several PNG images.
I figured out how to do the lightning and how to export transparent PNGs, but I can't get rid of the lightning solid background (which is balck in my case).
Do you have any advice?

Toggle the transparency grid in your comp to make sure that you are creating an alpha channel.
When you render set to the output module to RGB + Alpha and Millions of Colors + and set Color to Straight.

Transparent PNGs Help plz

Okay first off im very new at html. I can not figure out
where to put all the code for transparent PNGs in IE. I was
wondering if someone would draft an example. Using my site. I need
to get the icons at the top of the screen to be transparent. So
they are slanted and touching each other all nicely like is shows
in firefox. I got it to work once yesterday but the replace image
stoped working i couldnt figure it out so i am trying from the
start again. My site is www.triforcetechs.com. Also any critizim
would be helpful too im new to this sort of stuff. Just to let you
know also i have seached all over these forums and tryed many
diffent ways to make PNGs transparent but really i dont think i
know what im doing lol even if you could maybe fix one of my
buttons so i can see how its done that would be most helpful. Also
my email is [email protected] if you would like to email me
directly
Thanks in advanced

You don't have a valid DOCTYPE, see this:
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.triforcetechs.com%2F
it explains quite well what you need.
Also, no <html> but you have </html>
I suggest fixing this and posting back as there are a number
of
possibilities causing problems.
PNGs have a problem with <IE7, here are two helpful links:
