How to make white colored sections transparent

I have made a logo that consists of a black circle, with lots of text and shapes inside that are colored white. It looks fine on a white background, but when you change the background color the text stays white, when I want it to be transparent like a "cut out". How can I achieve this easily and still be able to edit the text?

Thanks Jacob! This worked. I already tried clipping masks and pathfinder but they didn't work very well because I used strokes around the white shapes. Not sure about knockout groups, but it did what I wanted.

  • How to make white shapes turn transparent when exporting to .png?

    I'm trying to cut out parts of my image with white shapes, but when exporting to .png with transparent backgrounds, the white shapes remain as white shapes instead of becoming transparent and applying the cut.
    How do i fix this?
    Thanks,

    Use a mask, most probably an opacity mask should help.

  • How to make White, White ?

    My Photo Editing skills and experience are minimal and specially for the purpose of Photo-Texturing 3D Geo-Models (geo-located) for Google Earth.
    I have been doing this for 3 years. However, I have yet to figure out how to edit photos so that White looks White.
    Instead, they almost always look Bluish White.
    Can someone please share with me how to make White areas in Color photos, appear White ?
    I will be forever grateful for this information, especially if I can receive it quickly.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Make a test image In Elements with only a white background.  Verify that the background colour is the RGB values of 255,255,255.
    If this looks Bluish white then you have a problem with your montior calibration, since 255,255,255 is as white as you can ever get.
    You don't say how you calibrate your monitor, nor the colour space in which you are working.  There is only one way to accurately calibrate and profile a monitor and that's with a hardware device like an Eye-One Display 2, or Spyder.  This is not for printing accurately but for accurate on screen rendering.
    Any other method is guess work.
    Also keep in mind that to accurately rendere colours on screen needs a colour managed program.  Elements is, but others you are using may not be.  In which case the best colour space to use is sRGB.  However, once you get your screen to look right there is no guarantee that others will see the same colour unless they also calibrate their screens.

  • How to make a new section visible in the server published version

    I use UPK 12 Client.
    When I click "Link a new section" in an existing Module, I can see it in the outline in the left pane in my UPK 12 Developer. When I then check-in all items, click Publish > select c: drive (a test folder) > Publish entire outline, the outcome includes the new section created.
    When I do the exact same procedure, but choose to click Publish > server (which is set up for my UPK) > Publish entire outline, the outcome does NOT include the new section created, but everything else yes.
    How to make the new section visible in the server published version?
    Thanks!
    Sille

    Hi Sille,
    Are you publishing over knowledge center? or is it publishing to a network drive? Once you check in the section save the module once and try again. See if it makes any difference.

  • How to make a Colorful Gif Image for Holi

    How to make a colorful Gif Image for Happy Holi 2014

    Okay, I know this doesn't answer your question, but don't get me wrong. A logo is meant to be the way it was designed - upright, no flipping/ swiveling animation. Why exactly do you want to let your logo turn around?
    If its to grab attention, why dont you consider animating the area on which your logo sits (header)? Or maybe add nice transitive slideshows on your main content area to add more interactivity?

  • How come the white color ipad's body is in silver color?

    I just got my ipad 2 today.. I really disapppointed when i see some diffrent.. How come the white color ipad's body is in silver color? But yr webpage show the body is white?

    Um.....you're not writing Apple here.   This is a user to user forum.  But, perhaps you should have looked at some more pictures of iPads prior to ordering one.  All iPads (Black face or White face) have silver metal bodies, that wrap up the side to the glass front.

  • [iPhone] How to make one color transparent on a UIImage?

    On my iPhone app I have a UIImage instance. I want to get a derived a UIImage that is the result of the first UIImage where one of its colors (e.g. magenta) is made transparent. How can I do this?
    NOTE: I cannot make the color transparent in Photoshop, the UIImage is created on the fly by the user. I need to do the "postprocessing" on the phone itself, after the user is done "drawing" the image.

    I still do not know your version of Premiere Elements and  your computer operating system, but here is a plan that would probably work for Premiere Elements 11, 12/12.1, and 13/13.1 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    But you say that you are starting with a black and white image. If you could start with the color version of the image, I think we have a promising path to have the fake blood appear in color on a black and white image.
    This would be done by applying the Color Pass effect to the color photo version. Color Pass Effect is  found under fx Effects/Image Control/Color Pass.
    Then you would edit the Color Pass effect under Applied Effects Tab/Appied Effects Palette/Color Pass Panel expanded. But I find that the most effective editing of that effect is done using the Setup whose icon appear to the right of the Color Pass Panel.
    Have you used the Color Pass effect before?

    I will offer how to suggestion for its use if interested. As for starting with the black and white, then I need to think about that some more.

  • PSE3, how to make white background for silouette

    I have taken a few pics of my grandkids in silouette form. That is, profile shots taken against window with snowy background. I've done a conversion to B/W, but need to darken it further. My main question is, how do I put a selection on a pure white background? Barbara, I have your book, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Do you have specific pages to look at? I know how to make a decent selection, but that's about it! Thanks.

    Donna,
    1. Make selection of silhouette
    2. Go to Edit>copy
    3. Go to File>new>Blank file> Color Mode:RGB. Background contents:White. Size H&W for your paper stock.
    4. Go to Edit>paste.
    5. Position selection with move tool.

  • How to make UIPagecontrol of UIPageviewController transparent?

    I am using UIPageviewController in my application where i want to make UIPagecontrol of UIPageeviewController transparent.
    While giving background color to clear color its not working but when giving background color to any other color like red itsworking fine.

    With this image, it will be easiest to select the white background.
    1. I would recommend using the Quick Select Tool. Select the white background.
    2. Because you want the lung guy on his own layer not the white background, you need to invert the selection. Select<Inverse.
    3. Copy the lung guy onto his own layer. On PC, press ctrl + J. If on a Mac, the shortcut is cmd + J.
    4. You can now copy/paste lung guy in the desired photo. Alternately, you can drag his layer from the layers palette and drop him into the other document. (If the resolution of lung guy doesn't match your image's resolution, he will shrink or expand as his layer will take on the resolution of the document he is moved into.)
    Note: I would not use the lettering as you can see where the lung guy's image overlaps. It will be an easier project if you redo the lettering in Word or use the Photoshop Element's text tool...maybe with text warp and a layer style....to add the text.

  • How to make a color wheel?

    I'm using CS4 on a Mac.
    I need to make a color wheel, like the attached, but with 24 segments.
    Could someone tell me how? Start with a circle, obviously, and then what?

    MarieMeyer wrote:
    If I wanted to try a different method - is there a way I can make a 15 degree segment with an arc at the top and bottom that I can fill with color, and then repeat it 23 times?
    The only way to do that and ensure your segments would meet in a perfect circle would be to start with the circle and divide it into a 15d segment, so you'd merely be tripling the amount of work.  Plus, it will be needlessly fussy to get that rotation correct.
    Here's what to do -- Create a circular band having the width that you want, divide it into segments, and paint the segments with the Live Paint tool:
    Draw your outer circle with the default empty fill and 1pt black stroke.
    Use Object...Path...Offset Path to offset that circle by a negative amount to get your inner circle.
    Select both circles and use Object...Compound Path...Make to get your circular band.
    Choose the Line Segment Tool, move your cursor until it's shown as being at the "center" of the circle band shape.  Hold down your Alt key to draw the line from the center of your drag and also hold down the Shift key to constrain your cursor to create a vertical line.  Draw the line until it extends past the outer edge of the circular band.
    With that line segment selected, double-click on the Rotate Tool, set a 15d rotation angle (from the center point, which is the default), choose "Preview", then click the "Copy" button to get a rotated line.
    Exit the Rotation options window, and with that last line still selected, keep hitting the Ctrl+D keys to duplicate that rotation and copy until you get your segments defined.
    Select everything and click on the selection with the Live Paint Bucket Tool to define the object as a Live Paint Group.
    Use the LPBucket to colour your circle segments as you wish:
    When you're finished, use Object...Expand to break the thing into two Groups:  the guidelines and the coloured segments.
    In the Layers Panel, select the guidelines group and hit your Delete key to get rid of the lines:
    Don't worry -- it took about 359 times longer to write all those steps than to actually do it!

  • How to get the color interpretation ( transparency/opacity)

    Hi all,
    I am trying to translate colors that may be affected by opacity & transparency into a strong color.
    Input colors may be RGB, CMYK and LAB.
    Right now, I am :
    1) duplicating source color (because Paper/Black can't be tweaked, I need to work on a copy)
    2) Setting duplicated color space to CMYK
    3) creating a dummy color in CMYK
    4) affect CMYK values of the duplicated color by transparency and opacity
    ie : source color is Black [0,0,0,100] at 50% opacity and 50% transparent ( frame effects) => [ 0*0.5*0.5 , 0*0.5*0.5 , 0*0.5*0.5 , 100*0.5*0.5 ] = > [0 , 0, 0, 25 ];
    5) setting dummy color space to source color space
    6) Do my computations based on dummyColor
    6) remove duplicated color
    7) remove dummy color
    The process is working but deltas on teh colors are a serious issue. Not big deltas but enough to corrupt the trust on the color interpretation.
    SO question is : Is there any way to get a correct interpretation of a color affected by opacity/transparency settings ?
    Do you have any link towars an understandable paper about how lab/rgb and CMYK colors are affected by opacity/transparency ?
    Thanks in advance,
    best,
    Loic

    @Loic – nothing much to offer here from my side. Just a source by Adobe which is very likely outdated, but you can look for hints doing research on the theme:
    "Transparency in PDF, Adobe Developer Technologies, Technical Note #5407" from 30 May 2000 at:
    http://www.planetpdf.com/mainpage.asp?webpageid=837
    Especially chapters:
    3 Color Compositing Computations
    4 Shape and Opacity Computations
    5 Groups
    6 Soft Masks
    7 Color Space and Color Rendering Issues
    should get you going. At least a bit. See for yourself…

  • How to make a selection partially transparent?

    Hi. I open a jpg image in PS, use a quick selection tool to select what I want and then I'd like to make that selection 80% transparent. How do I do that?
    Thank you.

    One way is to convert the background layer to a regular layer, add a layer mask after making the selection, invert the layer mask and use the masks panel to control the transparency (density setting) of the selection.

  • How to make presentation's sections names appear in header?

    In header I would like to put sections names (say Aim, Experiment, Results, Conclusion) of my talk. The idea is when I am on "Experiment"  section's slides, all these names appear, say horizontally and only "Experiment" is visible while the other headings should blur or fade?.
    So the question is:
    How to break the presentation in sections or subsections?
    How to make Keynote manage relevant section headings i.e. fading out irrelevant headings, colours, fonts
    Of course I can write the names manually and for each slide do the necessay changes to the header. but lets face it: for 25+ slides this toturous.
    I know probably I would have to reedit some master slides or this there any coding to be done?
    I know this kind of things is rather simple in Beamer.
    I would really welcome any bit of help. !!

    this is a popular  straightforward and quick thing to do, its all set up manually
    It took me less than two minutes to create 40 slides as you describe:
    duplicate the blank master slide 4 times
    create 4 text boxes on one of the duped masters with your titles using gray text, paste these into the 3 other dup master slides
    change the text colour to orange of one text box in each of the new masters, so you have a different highlight colour in each master
    create as many new slides  as you need then add one the 4 master layouts to a selection of the working slides
    obviouly use colours and layout to suit your needs
    when you need a new slide, just apply one of the master slide layouts
