How to make an object with a transparent background

i know this should be simple, but my use of photoshop has really fallen off and i can't recall how to do this.
i have masked an object from a jpg file and pasted it into a new document created with background contents transparent and i do have the checkered background. yet, when i save this document, the background appears to be filled in with white. is it really white or is it really transparent. i even created a second layer to paste the object into and saved as a pdf, but the same thing happens.
if i flatten the image, the background also becomes white.
basic stuff, i know, but i don't remember and the help isn't helping me.

Tiff supports transparency and is a widely-accepted format. You may want to try giving the printer that format.
Gif and png can only be saved if you're using RGB images. If they are not RGB, then save as TIFF and you should be fine.
If you actually are missing a bunch of plug-ins and/or file format options, it's possible that they have somehow been deleted. You'd have to reinstall Photoshop to get them back, or copy the contents of the plug-ins folder from another computer. SFW is a plug-in that resides within an import/export folder in the plug-ins folder, so it does sound like you are missing some things that need to be re-installed.

How to make the panel with scrollpane transparent?

Thanks Camicker for your help, it solves the problem but i got a new problem i.e. i want to make that panel with scrollbar transparent for this i have tried setOpaqe(false) for both scrollpane and panel but it doesn't work. do u have any solution?

I think camickr (not Camicker) already told you to set the opacity of the JScrollPane's viewport.
Spend just a few minutes with the JScrollPane API and you'll find an exploded view showing the components that make up a scroll pane.

Make a label with not transparent background

Hi,
When generating a label control, the default background color is transparent, but once add a color for it, it will show a raised box. How to make a label with background color and has the flat format?
David

Once you have the color picker, select the desired color, then hit the space-bar to only select the outline color and then select the transparent color in the upper right.
Hitting the space-bar toggles between the different combinations of elements to be colored, just play around and you'll get the desired effect.

How to save a clip with a transparent background?

How do i save a clip with a transparent background to export to quicktime and then be able to import it back into my timeline and have it be able to overlay ontop of another clip? Transparent clip is for lower third

For transparency to work, you need to save it in a format that has an alpha channel. Not sure if FCE supports the Animation codec but if it does you'll want your material as "millions of colors +". The "+" means Alpha.

How to make animations float with transparent background

I am taking a graduate course in adv. web design for an ed
tech program at a university. Neither my instructor nor anyone else
in my class knows how to get Flash animations to have a transparent
background, or even if this is possible. On behalf of us all, I am
wondering if it is possible to create a Flash animation without a
background--or with a transparent background, and then superimpose
it onto a web page so that the web page's background shows through
all but the animated part. We are using Flash 8. If it is possible,
can someone please tell us how to do it? I have seen web pages
where the animations float over the web page. Are these animations
made with Flash or with another program? Thank you!

Yes, it's easy, but haven't done it for a while, and not
since all the new ActiveX stuff on MS IE requires Java Script to
make the dotted outline go away.
To do it well takes a combination of Flash with the
publish-settings HTML Window Mode set to Transparent Windowless,
and tightly-designed CSS with your animation positioned in a div
that lies or overlays the exact place on the HTML page where you
want it. You can even have it scale to the entire visible window,
which can be quite cool. I did one for the holidays with snow
falling over an HTML page. It can block lnks from working, though,
so you can have the div (and animation) disappear when the
animation is done.

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 to separate an object with a 3d effect

How to separate an object with a 3d effect
Hi, I have outlined some text and applied a 3d effect but now I want to separate each letter so I can adjust the colour on the face of the letter with the colour on the extruded part.
I am sure it is probably straight forward but could do with a little help!
Thanks

I think what the OP wants to do is to keep the extruded part the same color and change the face of the letters to different colors. And he/she did mention that the text is outlined.
If that's the case, I can think of two things to do if you want to keep the 3D effect live (i.e., unexpanded).
1. You could apply a stroke to the outlined text, in the color you want for the extruded part. Then just change the fills individually (Tip: view in Outline mode and use the Group Selection tool to select each letter).
2. If you don't like how the stroke looks on the letters, make all the letters the same color — the color you want for the extruded part. Then make a copy of this group of letters. Select the copy, then click in the Appearance panel to to edit the 3D effect. Put the Extruded Depth at Zero. Now chnage the colors to your liking, then align them with the original. Interestingly, you can't just use the Align functions, you have to eyeball it.

How to make Shape3D object translucent

Hi,
How to make Shape3D object (like Box, Cylinder) translucent? I tried the below option but the box is not becoming translucent at all.
final PhongMaterial redMaterial = new PhongMaterial();
redMaterial.setSpecularColor(Color.rgb(10, 255, 15, opacity));
redMaterial.setDiffuseColor(Color.rgb(10, 255, 15, opacity));
final Box box = new Box(width,height,depth);
box.setMaterial(redMaterial);
When opacity is 1, the color of the box will be Green, when it is 0 the color becomes black.
Is there any way the box can be made translucent?

There is at least one unresolved issue concerning PhongMaterial's transparency: RT-28874.
I'm neither able to get it working properly. My red Sphere also fades to black while varying the opacity value from 1.0 to 0.0.

How do I import animated gifs into Premiere with a transparent background?

I have an animated gif that I got from the internet, and I'm trying to import it into Premiere Pro with a transparent background. The gif is of a video game character standing still and blinking. Whenever I import it, it always has a white background, so I need help on how to change that.
I've gone into Photoshop and removed the white background frame by frame, making it transparent. I do this by using the magic wand tool to select the white background, then hit "delete" to turn it into that diamond grid, which means it's transparent. I then select File -> Save for Web. I preview every frame, and it shows that the backgrounds are transparent. I save it as a gif. But when I import it into Premiere Pro, the white background is still there.
I've read many forums online about people trying to import images into Premiere Pro with a transparent background, but none of them have explained how to do it specifically for animated gifs. Every answer has always been "export the image as a png, that'll work", and sure enough, I exported a few frames of the gif as pngs, and those few frames had transparent backgrounds in Premiere Pro. But I don't want a png because those aren't animated sequences, those can only be still images. I need to export it as a gif so that it will remain animated, but gif files always have that dreaded white background in Premiere Pro.
I suppose I could export every frame as a png, import each of those frames into Premiere Pro, then string all the frames together and tweak them so they'll be functionally identical to the animated gif, but that would take forever. I'm making a video project and I need numerous animated gifs to work with, so I don't want to do that with every single one of them. I'm looking for a way to simply import the gifs into Premiere Pro and be done with it. If there is any way to do this, please help me.

faind on gif transparency and other cartoon animation problems : Adobe After Effects
" The reason: GIFs don't support alpha channels. Instead, their file structure assigns a certain color value to be read as totally transparent. There aren't any degrees of transparency as you find in graphics formats that do support alpha channels.
To use an animated gif in AE, you'd first have to create the areas of transparency, then convert the series of images into a graphics format that supports alpha channels, and there are a bunch: PICT, TIFF, TARGA or PNG, to name a few."

How to make text columns with adobe muse

Hi,How to make text columns with adobe muse (like InDesign)?

Multiple columns can be acheived with CSS - http://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_multiple_columns.asp
div
-moz-column-count:3; /* Firefox */
-webkit-column-count:3; /* Safari and Chrome */
column-count:3;
I'm surprised that Muse does not support text columns yet, but perhaps the custom CSS can be added in style tags on page properties. Haven't tried it, but don't see why it wouldn't work.

How to make any object self-shining?

hi,
i guess thats an easy question, but i dont know where to look for the answer.
so how to make any object self-shining like the infamous colorcube, so that one does not need to place any light?
and am I right in my assumption that doing so will reduce the need of rendering power, since lights dont have to be computed?
thanx,
Usul

I'm not sure what you mean here- if your object is lit then lighting will need to be calculated. If you don't want shapes to be lit, I think you can disable it by calling setLightingEnable(false) in their materials.

How to make an object mutable?

Can any one tell me how to make an object mutable?
Following is Class X & Y?

System.out.println(a.toString());
a1.set(a);
System.out.println(a.toString());
class X implements Serializable
public Object get(){
return new Object();
public synchronized void set(Object o)
o=null;
In my class Y when i say
a1.set(a);
I want local Object a of main method should be nullified.
Can it be possible if yes what is the way or code to be applied so that
my next a.toString() statement will give me NullpointerException.

Isn't it more accurate to say that object references are passed by value?
OP -- Basically you can't to what you want to do. When you "pass an object" as a method parameter, what you're really passing is a copy of the reference that points to the object. You now have two refs pointing to the same object--one in the caller and one in the method being executed. Setting either of those refs to null does NOT affect the object itself, and does NOT affect the other ref. It just means that the ref that's been set to null no longer points to any object.
If you want the called method to make a change that the caller can see, you need to either 1) return a value from the method, 2) encapsulate the object to be changed as a member of new class, or 3) pass the object to be changed as the single element of an array. I would STRONGLY recommend against (3) as a way to simulate pass by reference. Better to examine your design and determine whether (1) or (2) more closely matches what you're really trying to accomplish.

How to make an object distributed across multiple jres?

Hi,
We used cache data mechanism for performance tuning. It will store data in static variable (Hashtable) and get initialized when app starts . We are using IPlanet Application Server and
Using 6 KJS engines. This object ( Hashtable) is not distributed across all JRES.It has to reinitialize data again when request goes to any other KJS.
We avoid sharing data in session and request, as data is huge.
Can any one help us how to make this object distributed across all KJSs?
Thanks in advance.

I'd suggest that a better approach is to implement this as an Entity Bean and accessed from Session bean and using Value Objects to return the data subsets.

Hi,
1. Create a Control (for Custom and Split Containers only)
2. Instantiate a Container Object (in case of Custom and Split Containers, specify the control which is created by us in Screen painter) CREATE OBJECT
3. Instantiate an Object of the kind of report that has to be displayed (List, Grid or Tree). CREATE OBJECT . Here we need to specify the Parent Container as the so that it sits in that container.
4. Call appropriate methods to display the report on the screen. CALL METHOD ->

g_split TYPE REF TO cl_gui_easy_splitter_container,
g_cont1 TYPE REF TO cl_gui_container,
g_cont2 TYPE REF TO cl_gui_container,
g_grid1 TYPE REF TO cl_gui_alv_grid,
g_grid2 TYPE REF TO cl_gui_alv_grid.
i_mara is an internal table of structure MARA
SELECT * FROM mara INTO TABLE i_mara.
