How to create an image with a transparent shape

Hi
This should be easy -
The end result I want is this:
a png which is mostly black (or any colour) but with a defined shape in it which is transparent.
I have the shape. I select it. I seem to be able to make a mask from this (a selection which I can copy and move about). But what I can't figure out how
is how to create a new image which is filled except for this masked area which is transparent
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks

Open a blank, new file with foreground color green
Type text
Open effects palette, and in the drop-down go to bevels, then select "Simple Emboss" - it is the second one in my program. Apply
Still in he effects palette, in the drop-down, go to visibility, select "Hide". Apply
Double click the f icon on the text layer in the layers palette to bring up the Style settings dialog, and add a small stroke to better define the letters.

  • How to save Buffered Image with variable transparency in a file.

    Hi,
    I need to save BufferedImage (type ARGB) in a file.
    Transparency in this image is a function of position. Who knows, what would be the best suggestion for type of file to store this image (probably not JPEG) and which package would be appropriate. A sample of code would be higly desirable. Please help, thank you in advance.

    Your can use the ImageIO-API if your software runs under JVM1.4 or you must use the JAI (Advanced Imaging API) ...

  • How to create Edit Image in my form

    hi All,
    I have a form with header and detail, in my detail block i need to add Edit Image in my form. When i click on this i should be able to open one of my text column.
    can any one please help me how to create new images....

    Siva,
    There is a different Technology Stack associated with the Enterprise Business Suite (EBS). amitphynyl is correct with the description of how to create a button with the edit.ico assigned to it, but with the EBS, you will want to speak to your DBA to get a list of all the Icons that are available as you will have more icons with the EBS than are available with a standard install of Forms Builder 6i. I would also suggest you ask your DBA to give you a copy of all the Icons so you can add them to your Forms Builder installation so they will be available to you during design of your Form.
    I would also recommend that you review the Oracle Applications User Interface Standards for Forms-Based Products guide in the Oracle Applications Documentation web site to ensure your Custom Form conforms to Oracle guidelines.
    Hope this helps,
    Craig B-)
    If someone's response is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly.

  • How to create a window with its own window border other than the local system window border?

    How to create a window with its own window border other than the local system window border?
    For example, a border: a black line with a width 1 and then a transparent line with a width 5. Further inner, it is the content pane.
    In JavaSE, there seems to have the paintComponent() method for the JFrame to realize the effect.

    Not sure why your code is doing that. I usually use an ObjectProperty<Point2D> to hold the initial coordinates of the mouse press, and set it to null on a mouse release. That seems to avoid the dragging being confused by mouse interaction with other nodes.

    Draw a cloud shape. Fill it with white and add a black inner
    glow.
    Position the cloud shape over the photo. Press Shift and
    select both the
    cloud shape and the image. Choose Modify > Mask > Group
    as Mask.

    Problem:The following images are buttons has already been designd . One image is in the normal status, while the other button is in the rollver status. I want to create an indetical image with same properties such as (size, font type, font size, font color background color) called "Intuitive Healer".

    I am curious to learn how to create a button with exact "look and feel" design and write on it Inutive healer
    Make my day

    the type  looks like Times New Roman Font.  If you just follow the tutorial listed below, it lays out nicely. you would just want to omit the gradient and some effects that they do in the tutorial, to match the one you want above. it is going to involve both Dreamweaver and Photoshop.

  • How to create an image of an audio CD

    Hi everyone,
    I just recorded my new DJ set, and I would like to share it over my website. But this time I would like to share it, not only in MP3 format, but also as an actual CD, that people could download and burn as if it were an original.
    I have one burned copy, all nicelly tracked and all that, and I tryed to create an image with Disk Utility, which doesn't seem to work at all.
    Also, I want to share that CD image, both for Mac and PC, so how do I do that? Because probably I'll need different formats for different platforms, right? Am I confusing stuff here?
    Can any of your bright minds guide me on this one?
    Thanks a lot.

    dhort,
    You are confusing me as well.
    What do you think a PC-user could do with a .CDR-image in HFS+ format?
    And what a Macuser should do with this file too?
    I think anamorphis wanted to offer a format what can be used to burn it directly as Audio-CD;
    PC-user could burn bin/cue-files for example with Nero directly as Audio-CDs.
    For Macusers are also a lot of applications like Toast or maybe LiquidCD for burning this image as Audio-CD.
    Sure, as Macuser you could copy the Audio-files from .CDR-image into iTunes or burn-apps, but thats not the smart way.

I have spent hours trying to find out how to embed an image with a link, or embed a Microsoft Word document with a hyperlink built within the document -- not as an attachment into my email -- but where it shows as the email content when opened! Does ANYONE know the secret? Can it be done, or not? My PC clients do it all the time easily. Then I want to be able to send the embedded image/document (not as an attachment, but visable within the email when opened) to many email contacts at once, BUT the individuals receiveing them DO NOT SEE the other email contacts. Cannot seem to be able to find anything on being able to do these 2 tasks.PLEASE, SOMEONE, HELP!!!

    How to create "Fisheye effect" with Photoshop 10 on a Mac computer?

    One way : use the filter : correct camera distortion. Move the remove distortion slider towards left (barrel distortion)
    Or, first increase the canvas size to a square format bigger than the larger dimension of the image and play with the filter : distort, spherize.

  • How was created the cluster with keys in example: Sim Phone.vi

    Hello all
    I have LV 7.1.1
    I have found the example: Sim Phone.vi
    And I don't know how was created the cluster with keys?
    Best regards
    Iskander

    It's just like any other cluster you create. Put a cluster container on the front panel and insert some Booleans. the actual Booleans are on the classic controls palette. The border of the cluster is also colored transparent with the paintbrush on the Tools palette.

  • Create an image with ActionScript

    How do you create an image with ActionScript? The image is
    located at an url that is not guaranteed to be on the same server.
    I would prefer something that is compatible with previous
    versions of the Flash player.
    If you could point me to some tutorial or show me how it is
    done.
    Thanks

    This is suuuuuuuuuuuuper basic, you just have a movieclip on
    the stage and the URL of any image on the internet/local computer
    function loadImage(imageUrl:String,
    holder_mc:MovieClip):Void{
    holder_mc.loadMovie(imageUrl);
    Fill the two parameters with the 1. image url and 2.
    movieclip that holds the image
    It will load the image into it. Much more in depth tutorials
    and stuff can be found all over the place, just google it.

  • Script to Sort Images with/without transparency?

    I've made this a new thread because I posted a similar question that was answered correctly in another thread about a sorting script for images with and without clipping paths.. I'm hoping the trend continues. (I could probably modify the script myself if I knew the proper syntax for image transparency.)
    So, my question simply is: Is there a script that will sort images (in my case psds) into two separate folders, one containing images with transparency, and one with images with no transparency (or, no layers).
    Any help with this, as always, would be very very much appreciated,
    Thanks!

    Another reason to create this as a new thread of course is to help anyone else who may do a search on this particular scripting need .
