How do I turn a solid background into a transparent background on a jpg in Photoshop?

Is there an easy click click click to make a colored background transparent to be used in a layering application in InDesign?
Thanks!

A jpg does not accommodate a transparent area. Open the file. Since the image is on the Background area, trash the lock. Then place a layer below it (Cmd click on new layer symbol at bottom of  Layers panel.). Return to the image layer: select and delete the chosen area. Select > Deselect the selection, trash the bottom layer and save as a Photoshop (psd file).

    How do I turn a purchased song into a ringtone without repurchasing the song?

    This isn't possible.
    The song's copyright holder would charge more for it if it was being played on multiple devices at once but overlooks the remote possibility that any given person would be playing the full song on two or more devices at the same time; there's much more chance of that happening if the song is converted into a ringtone, so they charge more.

    I am wondering how I can turn an iphoto slideshow into a book?

    No - you can make a book from the same photos but not form the slide show - smiply elect the same photos (probably in the album you made the slide show from) and make a new book from them

    How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom? 
    When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut.  I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

    I tend to select things from left to right and every time I am moving in a downward right diagonal motion during lasso selection I am missing a clear view and I am tending to have a more sloppy selection.  All this does is slow me down since I need to go back and hit those areas again.  The big arrowhead just get's in the way.  The original lasso tool with the thin line and small active point at it's lower left was far better for me.
    I don't like turning the cursors to precise because I like to see the active tool icon where my cursor is and as the icon changes as I hold modifier keys down.  If I am forced to get comfortable with using pricise cursors I guess I will, but man, I've never had to do this in my 15 years of photoshop use...
    I would absolutely LOVE to find a way to get the old lasso icon -- without the arrowhead above it.
    Is there any chance this option could be inlcuded in cursor preferences?  I'd give much thanks, Adobe.

  • How do I turn a shape layer into a mask in After Effects?

    How do I turn a shape layer into a mask in After Effects?

    I should also mention that if you create the shape with any of the shape tools (rectangle, Polly star, eclipse) instead of the pen tool you will have to convert the shape to a bezier path before you can copy the path and paste it to a mask. Easy to do if you have the recent version of AE, not so easy if you're using an older version.
    when you have trouble figuring things out simply type something like track matte in the Search After Effects help field at the top right corner of the AE application frame. You will get these resources: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?cat=support&term=Track%20matte&loc=en_US&sel f=1&lr=en_US&site=aftereffects…

  • How can I turn garage band files into mp3s?

    On my older Macbook i have always been able to easily turn my .band files into mp3s under the Advanced heading in itunes, but with my Macbook Pro, that is not an option. The option has become "Create AAC version". How can I turn my .band files into mp3s so that I can load them onto my web page and my students can pick them up as mp3s and put them on their devices?

    The option has become "Create AAC version".
    Your iTunes importing preferences are currently set to AAC. If you change your Importing preferences to mp3, the option should then become "Create mp3 version". See the following document for some more details:

    Remove all the email accounts that are on the device.
    Turn off FaceTime & iMessage.
    Create a new Apple ID using a new email address that you create, and that only you know the password to.
    Use that Apple ID for Settings > iCloud and Settings > iTunes & App Store.
    Delete all the third-party apps on the device.
    Go into Setting > Cellular and disable all apps from using cellular data (except Find My iPhone).  Or even disable Cellular data totally.
    Use the Restrictions option under Settings > General > Restrictions.  Create a Restrictions passcode that only you know
    Disable the ability to use everything from Safari down to Carplay under the Restrictions.
    Set all the allowed content to the most restricted options available.
    Set the Allow Changes in Restrictions to prevent allowing changes to Account, Cellular Data Use, ad maybe even volume limit.
    That pretty much makes it so she can make phone calls and use normal texting, but has no internet access, no way to browse online, no way to use any apps other than what's already pre-installed, can't use FaceTime, can't use the Camera, can't add email accounts to the device, can't change out the iCloud account, etc.  It basically dumbs the iPhone down as far as it can possibly go.

  • How do I turn a mail item into a calendar item?

    Cant find any topics on mail here but as the question relates to calander as well this is the only place I can post it.
    How can I turn an email into a calander event?
    I've have only been using a Macbook pro now for under 1 month but one critical piece of functionality has me stumped. In outlook, I could turn a mail item into a calendar or task item by simply dragging the message over the calendar icon on Outlook's folder bar and the contents would become a calendar item.
    How do I do that on the Mac? I dont rally want to use third party apps as I would have thought that this basic piece of functionality would have been included?

    Did you hover over the date?
    If the email has no date in it, it would be difficult for an automated process to add it to iCal! However, there are add-ons that provide a basic functionality, though I don't know if they've been updated for 10.8. Take a look, for example, at Mail2iCal

    Is there another way. This one puts to many pages in the site menu. On photo pages you can limit the # of photos per page and the programs makes additional pages that are numbered but don't appear on the site menu. Like when you are reading a long news article and it has multiple pages.
