How do I save type onto a transparent bkgd?

I'm trying to save some type onto a transparent background.  Every time I flatten my layers I end up with the type on a white bkgd.  How do I maintain the cutout?  thanks in advance.

Instead of flattening the layers all at once merge the layers with the text and effects and delete the background layer(s) if you have any, leaving a single layer that has a transparent background.  Optionally you will want to make an Alpha Channel and save the file as a TIFF or a PNG with transparency.  Tiff is preferred depending on what you want to do with the file.  If it's for the web, then png is preferred.

    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.

    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 do I save iMovies onto an external hard drive?

    I have several hours of home movies on i movie that i would like to now back up onto my external hard drive, but when I am on the desktop and try to drag the movies into the hard drive they bounce back & cut and paste does not work either.... what am I missing??

    And assuming dwb is right and the drive IS formatted with NTFS (which is my suspicion as well) you have several options. You could reformat the drive with FAT or Mac OS Extended, which the Mac could write to, but would also erase all files currently on the external drive. OR you could download an NTFS driver such as Paragon which should enable your Mac to write to an NTFS drive without reformatting.

  • How do I save effects onto the source loop file

    I have a ton of effects on a particular loop; it'd be nice to mix it all down so the source loop has all the processing already on it.
    That way i can free up resources and use the post-processed loop in the future.
    any ideas??

    Not sure if you understood Hang's explanation so if you didn't, 'Sharing' the file is a digital mixdown - the same as rendering the file as an audio file. You can 'share' the file to the desktop and drag and drop back onto the Garageband timeline. Then 'add to loops library'.

  • How do I save DVDs onto my iMac

    I have to rip a DVD onto my iMac with handbrake but message coming up saying
    64 bit not compatible.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am new to iMac.

    The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast.

    I have a new Canon XA10, and I use Log and Transfer to download my videos to my computer and edit. How do I save them onto an external hard drive as to not take up so much space on my computer?

    I was going to say to set up your scratch disk, but you are using FCPX, and this is the FCS forum... I don't know how the other program functions so you'll want to post in the correct forum.

  • When I try to same an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!

    When I try to save an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated to one of the firefox versions (Not sure which one it was)

    Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

  • How do you save dynamic data type, from the DAQ assistant, for use in Excel or matlab?

    Currently, I have the following basic VI setup to save Data from my PCI6221 Data Aquisition Card.  The problem I'm having is I keep getting the last iteration of the while loop in the measurement file and that's pretty much it.  When I try to index the data leaving the loop it gives me a 2D array of Data which cannot be input into the "Write to Measurement File" VI.  How would I save this to a useful Data/time step format?  I was wondering of a way to continuously collect the Data and then save it in a large measurement file that I would manipulate in Matlab/excel?  Am I using the wrong type of loop for this application?  I also noticed my Dynamic Data array consists of data, time, timestep and then a vector of the data taken.  Is it possible to just get a vector of the time change per sample alongside the data?    Sorry for the barrage of questions but any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!

    There is a VI in the Express > Signal Manipulation palette called "From DDT" that lets you convert from the Dynamic Data Type to other data types that are more compatible with operations like File I/O....for instance, you could convert your DDT into a 2D array and use the Write To Spreadsheet File.vi.  Just a thought...
