How do you make an image have a transparent background?

i brought an image from PS into Illustrator and i want to put it in AE and use the puppet tool. however, when i bring it in it has a white background, but i just what the object i am going to puppet, so how do i do that?

AE does not require an image to be sent through Illy first. Just make sure your image has a transparent background and/or an alpha channel if need, then save as a psd file. In AE bring the psd file in as footage, unless you need a compostion and folder for the psd created in the project list. You should then be able to use the puppet tool on an image with a transparent background.

How do you make a photo have a transparent background

I have a photo of a fire truck outside of the fire department. I want to remove the background and select only the truck itself. I then want to be able to have it transparent when I put the picture on a scrapbook page. I do not want a white box background. What steps are needed to accomplish this. I currently have Photoshop Elements 6. Thanks!
Teresa

Use one of the selection tools. lasso tool for example, to select the truck
Go to Edit>copy. This puts it on the computer's clipboard
Open the scapbook background
Go to Edit paste. The truck should be on a separate layer
Access the move tool, position the truck.
You can resize using the corner handles of the bounding box while holding down the shift key

How do you make an image or text, appear on every slide?

How do you make an image appear on every slide?

What part did you not understand?
As Andrew said, open the Keynote file, go to the View Menu>Show Master Slides
This is what you should see on the left hand slide of the window. The Master slides are at the top and the check mark goes by the Master Slide that is referenced on which ever slide you have selected in the Slides pane.
Add to the Master slide the image or text that you would like to see on the slides that are made off of that master. You can see in the Title & Bullets master slide, I added the shape in the lower left hand corner and it was added to all the slides build off that master.
If this still isn't clear, let us know where you are getting stuck and we will try to help.

How Do You Make an Image Flow with the Text?

Hello all,
I am using CS4 InDesign on Windows Vista. I am fairly new to Indesign but try to do my research and homework well before asking what I hope is not a really dumb question.
I am writing a book of approx. 350 pages that is an illustrated encyclopedia of 156 plants and their oils.
Each 2 page spread is a single entry for a plant. The graphics frames on each spread are identical in size, position and styles for a consistent look throughout the document.As you can see (hopefully) each page is a single column. See screenshot below
In order to overcome my first problem of positioning and sizing the graphics frames uniformly, I created the master pages with the graphics placeholders sized, positioned and formatted to my liking. This worked wonderfully and I placed all of my 300+ graphics by simply over riding each frame.
Then in my editing I decided to add another 2 page spread somewhere in the middle of this fairly large document.
What a NIGHTMARE. The text predictably shifted but now ALL of my graphics were no longer associated with the corresponding text! Arrrgghhh.I had not anticipated this behavior (used MS Word for 15 years) or I would have done something different.
3 hours later I finished re -"placing" the images associated with the correct text.
I researched the help file and found out about the neccessity of anchoring graphics to text. I have read through the threads in this forum, followed links to "indesignsecrets.com/make-an-image-flow-with-the-text" and " Working with anchored objects by Anne Marie Concepcion"
My concerns are this.
An inline graphic places the graphic back onto your text layer for some reason ( Previously my graphics each had their own layer)
Not wanting to start (again) from scratch with my graphics I converted them to inline/custom anchored objects.
But to select then cut then paste every pre existing graphic to anchor it inline seems to be cumbersome and counter intuitive although the top smaller graphic did position well and the text seemed to wrap ok.
When I placed the larger bottom graphic on the left facing page using custom positioning I was not able to get the text to wrap at all.( The in line anchoring did not seem to allow for positioning on anything but the 'Y' axis).
It seems that there would be a simpler way to place text and graphics where you want them and have them associate and flow together (or not) when you want them to and have text wrap easily around an anchored object without keyboard gymnastics. It would seem that the concept of a certain graphic being associated or linked with certain text would not be an unusual concept in desktop publishing.
Am I missing something?
Can you place an anchored graphics frame on the master page with your desired options?
How would this be done if possible?
Is there any other way (i.e grouping) to keep graphics associated with the desired text so that it flows together if extra pages are added?
Is the fact that my graphics frames are on my master pages responsible for my text wrap difficulty? (I have text wrap enabled on my master pages)
Are there any settings, redundant or otherwise, I need to be aware of?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions or directions
L.N.

Hello Again,
Thank You Bob but I am still a little fuzzy on this. I have already created object styles for the graphics frames. For instance the small graphic underneath the heading (Its a drop of oil) has an object style applied. Now I checked and it has the anchored object options checked in the style dialog box. When I reapply the style to the next similar graphics nothing happens. It is still not anchored. Do I need to create a new style based on "nothing" add my effects plus the anchoring options? Basically start over. If thats what I need to do thats OK. As to your instruction that object styles could accomodate this anchoring thing...thats what I thought too but somehow I can't get it to work. See object style dialog box screenshot below:
For the larger graphic on the bottom of the left facing page. I still cannot get any text to wrap. In the screenshot example the text describing this particular plant doesn't go to the bottom of the page so the wrapping issue on this page is moot. However I have some entries where the body of the description is more involved and does go to the bottom of the page and the text WOULD need to wrap around the plant (larger ) graphic.
Hi there Harb, Yes I found out early on that object styles can't apply size (that would be on my wish list for sure) That is why I found that creating my graphics frames on the master page with the correct size, effects and positioning tickled me so much. Can you believe I originally went through and MANUALLY resized and repositioned each and every 300+ graphics in this book but it still wasn't right. I'm nothing if not persistent. (Now if I could just get my grown sons to pick up their socks!)
Anyway the master page graphics frames idea would be perfect if I could get the images to anchor in their respective spots on the master page as well.
For your second suggestion. I am not clear about why I would need to break the threads of each spread so that each spread is a seperate article. Is the threading issue the thing that is causing my text to move on leaving their associated graphics behind? If so how do I go about doing this?
So to recap:
1. I need to know if I can modify my object style or recreate from scratch with the anchoring option (as I said it didn't work)
2. Can't get text to wrap around the Custom anchored graphic at bottom of page at all
3. Im not clear on the breaking the threading on the spreads
I am willing to go back through and start from scratch (new master pages, styles etc ) if neccesary. This book is the culmination of 7 years of research and artwork.Basically the project is DONE. Now if I can just format it correctly.
I can't thank you both enough for your time, suggestions, expertise and patience.
Thanks again

How can you make an image adjustment on all images in a Stack

If one had a stack of images that need a brightness adjustment. How can you preform the adjustment a stack of images that need the same amount of adjustment?
Many times I have a stack of images that need a +10 brightness adjustment on them and it would save a lot of time if I could do it on a whole stack of images.

good points, as l/s takes every adjustment ... including autolevels/exposure ... BUT DOESN'T make them auto to the next image(s), it just lifts the current image settings !!! which is fine for a five shoot series all at the same exposure, but not so much when it is not !!!

How do you make an Image from a Graphics?

1) Is it possible to make an Image from a graphics?
I've returned the Graphics of an image in the method of one class so that I can work with it in another class. I was looking for a setGraphics in the Image class but there isn't one. Nor is there a graphics.createImage(). What I'd really like to do is get the background image, draw on it in a separate class, then return it to the original class (for buffering purposes).
2) is there any way to make a blank Image of given dimensions (without actually making a .gif of a blank screen)? I want to draw on the background even if it is blank, but I can't get the Graphics of a null Image.
thanks in advance.. :-) jen

thanks for all your help guys!
i looked at those websites.
The reason why the site's buffered images work is becuase they are using the paint method in a single class. (i.e. they are not calling the graphics from someplace else). If you call a Graphics (using getGraphics and the like) from someplace else, you don't get a reference or pointer; you get a COPY. The copy will helpfully record your instructions. But the original graphics doesn't get the instructions. That's my problem. My graphics instructions are not getting sent to the originating Graphics, so drawRect never gets executed.
Another problem is that I often have no background picture in my container, and hence, I have a null pointer when I try to draw stuff on the returned Graphics.
So what I want to do is create an image in the subclass of the rectangles, lines, whatever, and send it to my handy little setBackground(Image im) method in my superclass. And whenever the background image is null, create a white image to draw on.
I am calling the graphics from the background of a custom lightweight container. I would REALLY REALLY not like to mess with my container code... it took me a long time to get it working.
I also don't want to override paint. That would make all the buffering work I did obsolete. :-(

How do you make an image enlarge on hover, like on the new google image search?

Here's an example:
http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&source=imghp&biw=1109&bih=690&q=cat&gbv=2&aq=f&aqi=g10& aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=
When you roll over the image it enlarges. I like it because you don't have to click anything, and you hover over a bunch of images without refreshing the page or having an obnoxious popup you have to close.
Is there a ways to create this in dreamweaver? Do you have to make 2 different image sizes (like in the dijointed rollovers)?
Thanks! I love this forum!
Kate

You have to insert a rollover object. Not sure what version you are working in. But you should have the option to select "insert", "Rollover Object" then you followi the guide. You will need to create 2 copies of your image - one that is smaller that will be your thumbnail and then the larger image. The first thing you will be asked for is an image ID - give it whatever name you want, but I recommend lowercase letters only. The 2nd thing will be to insert your thumbnail as a jpg and the you insert the larger image, again as a thumbnail. Don't forget to gill in the alternate id name as well - can be the same as your original id name.
THIS IS IMPORTANT
After you insert the image you must switch to code view and delete the size parameters that appear after the image.
I hope this makes sense...but if you need further help....just ask.

How to make a gif have a transparent background which is ready for use within premier pro cc ?

hi
guys
could you please explain the process of creating gif with a transparent background ?

Just create the document with transparency and save a gif (»Save As« or »Safe for Web« depending on your needs).
Are you talking about an animated gif?

Making a image have a transparent background

I was given a image and asked to use it as a logo for a website. It is a black image with a white background. How do I get a transparent background so I can post the image on a web page and only see the image and not the white background it has? I am using photoshop elements 5.0. Thanks.

For me, best solution for extracting an image from its background is using a terrific plug-in for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. It's called GML Matting. It's free, functions flawlessly and you can create some amazing images with it. I save the extracted images with transparent backgrounds as PSDs.
You can download it here: http://research.graphicon.ru/image-processing/gml-matting-6.html
Select the latest version from the menu. After it's installed, you'll find it at the bottom of the Filters pull-down.
I've used it with Elements 2, 5 and 7.
How well does it work? You can decide. I took two photos, one of my Jeep parked in a parking lot, overlooking a quiet bay. Then I took another photo of the rough surf on the ocean side of the island. Using Elements 5 with the GML Matting plug-in, I extracted the Jeep and its shadow and dropped the image onto the photo of the surf. It took about 30 minutes to clean up edges (using various Elements tools). When completed, the resulting image is virtually impossible to detect as a composite.
Here's the finished image: http://home.att.net/~historyworld/OceanBeachJeep.jpg
You can see a review of the plug-in and see the images to create my composite by scrolling through the linked thread below (on the Photocamel forums). http://photocamel.com/forum/image-editing-color-management/48945-free-background-removal- software.html

How do you make an image appear by clicking on a link?

I have a div set up as a box for my images.
Underneath I have put a several divs, each of which have numbers in them...01.....02....03....04
I would like to know how to make it so that when you click on 01, an image appears in the box, when you click on 02, the other image disappears and then new image appears, click on three....etc....etc
What's the best way to go about this?
Thanks

This isn't quite what you've described but you could alter it so it works.
On the div give it an attribute class="rollover"
Then in the stylesheet
.rollover {
display:inline-block;
cursor:default;
.rollover:hover img {visibility:hidden;}
A way you could alter this is to nest a div inside (over the top of your image) that has a solid fill (background-color) and on the rollover:hover
get rid of the background or hide the div....
Hope you follow... I've not really spent time explaining this in detail, presuming you've some knowledge.
(I so hate how the i beam doesn't show in Adobe's topic reply widget.. or intermittently... it's appeared again... Firefox.)

How do you make an image like this?

I am sorry if this is time consuming but I saw this image on a website and it caught my attention.

Ai is Illustrator, but a lot of digital artists use Photoshop for this sort of illustration. I suspect most of it for the gaming industry.
Check out Digital Tutors. They have a number of titles that show a step by step guide to producing artwork very similar to your guide.
Photoshop Illustration Tutorials and Training > Digital-Tutors
BTW I do hope this is a serious question. The similarity of your usename to the text in the illustration, had me thinking you might be spamming this forum. Tell me I'm wrong and I'll be happy to help.

How do you make an image a background image if the menu option is dimmed?

I'm using the Cork Board template in a Pages layout document. I wanted to use the cork background in another page. Option dragging the cork image creates a copy in the new page. I can "Send it to back" but the Arrange->Send Object to Background command is dimmed. The problem is that "Send it to back" does not put it behind the header or footer so my page numbers are not visible.
Oddly, if I just drag the cork image from one page to another, it remains a background object in the new page. Copying it causes it to come out of the background.
Anybody have an idea why the Send Object to Background command is dimmed?

In fact, my guess is that the cork.pdf object is a background object because it is a template transferred from Pages '06 to Pages '08.
During the conversion, some properties are passed even if they aren't treated by the new version.
If some one wish to let some of these items in the true background, as far as I know, the only available soluce is:
create a new object from the delivered template
unlock some items if necessary
remove useless items
lock back the kept item
save the document as a template.
Never change the background property of the kept items.
As far as an item is a "true background" one,
trying to move an other item to the background will leave it above the "true background object".
