How to save a transparancy?

I use Photoshop 6.0 and can make a transparancy. That isn't the problem. The problem lies in saving the file. I save mine in tiff format however when I open the saved file, that checkerboard background is not visible. Does that mean I did not save the file correctly? In essence, when the file has been made into a transparancy with that checkerboard background underneath my image, what do I do next? Keep in mind I already have "anti-alias" and "contiguous" checkmarked. Thank you as I could really use your input.

When I have the cartoon made into a transparancy and that checkerboard background is visible behind or underneath the image, what is the next step in saving the image? I ask this, because after I saved my "test" transparancy, I reopened the file, and that checkerboard behind/underneath the image wasn't visible. In essence, is the checkerboard, absolutely necessary to see when I'd open the saved file? Such as if I saved it in TIFF, PNG or JPEG? Or is that checkerboard only going to be visible when I save it out of PSD from which I initially worked on the image in?

  • How to save a transparent file for a logo

    I have a logo which I would like to use as a transparent .gif file on my wordpress site. I have saved it for web use on Illustrator, but when I uploaded it, there is a white outline on the transparent logo, and it is all pixelated. Help!
    You can see the logo here: www.ratherunique.org

    Here's a link to your logo loaded directly in the browser. Don't just click on the link. Open it in a new tab.

    Appears like the logo is being resized and causing the pixilation.

  • How to save transparent background images to have transparent background thumbnails with Photoshop 2014?

    In old versions of Photoshop there was a feature that made thumbnail images have a transparent background.  I'm a CC member using Photoshop 2014 on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.4 and every thumbnail of a transparent background image I've created in Photoshop 2014 appears on my desktop with a solid white box background that has a thin black outlined box inside of it.  How do I save the transparent background images I've created in Photoshop 2014 so they will appear on my desktop as thumbnails with a transparent background?   I'd like to continue to be able to replace the default background-less folder icon that that appears on files with transparent background thumbnails to customize my files as I use to do with older versions of Photoshop.

    If your layered document has a Photoshop background layer it visibility need to be set off when saving a PNG or Gif file for Photoshop background layers do not support transparency.
    Thumbnail may be a bit more complicated than you think. I do not use Lightroom, and only occasionally use the bridge.  I believe Lightroom and Bridge  keep thumbnails they develop for image files  in their library databases and caches.  Other programs do not have acces to  these.  RAW Files and Image files have Jpeg previews stored in then.  I believe most application use these previews jpeg to create thumbnails.  Jpeg format does not support transparency.
    Icon on the desktop are not always thumbnails some are embedded icons in application modules other are icon in dll these may well have transparency. However image file on the desktop have generated thumbnails.  However you can create a shortcut for an image png file and create a icon with a transparent background for the png file and change the shortcut's icon for the png file to the transparent ico file you created for it.
    Also many Photoshop release ago an Adobe module created Thumbnails for image files in Windows File explorer and most likely system file dialog. Adobe stopped supporting that stating Microsoft changes how windows works.
    Today I use FastPictureViewer Codec Package to generate image thumbnails for image files including RAW and PSD files in File Explorer and system file dialogs.
    I don't use a Mac don't know what available for your Mac.

  • How to have a transparent background after saving as a jpeg?

    Hi guys!
    I designed this logo for a couple that are starting their own business. Problem is they never told me that they wanted to print the logo into T-shirt that are a Daisy yellow color. As of now we are trying to find the HTML code for the yellow in the shirts so I can match the background of the logo to the shirt because the problem they are having is that when they print the logo on the shirt it comes out squared and the logo in the middle. The logo its self its oval shaped. As an alternative and probably easier way to solve the problem I'm trying to send them just the logo shape but I've trimmed the excess background to a point where it cannot be trimmed anymore and there still is a white background to it, Probably my explanation its a bit confusing but ultimately I'm trying just to send them the logo with no white background at all. I need help with that. How to save the file and send it so they can open it still with no background color?
    Please help me ASAP!!!
    THANKS

    JPG files are not compatible with transparency.  You need to save as GIF or PNG, but make sure the unwanted area shows as the checkerboard in Photoshop before saving.
    It is always a good idea to ask the printer what works best for them.  I suspect there would be specific requirements for printing on material, but we don't know if this going to be screen print, or iron on or what. 

  • How to save a png with a straight or fat alpha?

    Long story short, work in broadcast and a new piece of gear prefers png files.  I know how to save png's with a transparency, that's not the problem.  What I don't know how to do or if it's possible is to save them with a straight or fat alpha.  Right now we feather or extend the edges out past the alpha of say a logo and save it as a tif, psd or .tga.  That way once it's keyed over video or whatever, the edges look good, no black bad edging.... this makes sense, probably not explaining it very well.   But switching to png files I have no idea how to make a straight or fat alpha since it sees transparency.  I mean if I feathered out the edges, a png will see that correct, since there's no alpha??
    I hope this makes sense ?

    Chris, this is probably the answer I seek "PNG always saves with straight color - that's how the PNG spec defines it." 
    I admit my explanation was a bit weak and I understand PNG only supports transparency, which is not an alpha,  and the apps aren't treating them wrong....I just couldn't formulate an intelligent question and explain it, my bad.
    After thinking about it I don't think using a PNG will work. RIght now for broadcast gear/applications if we don't fill the transparent and semi-transparent areas of an image with the colored part of the image, we usually end up getting a dirty key/matte or a lot of fringing.  So when using a .tif or .tga that reads an actuall alpha, we can fix the issue by doing what I described.  In fact we use a quick little plugin from flaming Pear called "Solidifty" to speed up the process http://www.flamingpear.com/download.html .  With that said, I know we can't do the same steps with a png because it only sees transparency, but I guess I was wondering if there was a work-around or a trick to fix that issue.  I could be wong, but doesn't a png save with white ?
    But again, as I thought about it, I think i'm asking for something it's not meant to do, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
    Thanks Chris, does this make more sense or more confusing?  The bottom-line is I don't think it will work.

  • How to save stage as png interactively?

    Hi,
    Does anybody know how to save/export the stage as an image like in this example?
    http://ciruelo.jp/js/edge/tde.html
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks so much!

    You're confusing the total number of bits (8 bits of RGB+Transparency = 32 bits, a misleading number), with the bits per channel (32 bit floating point, which makes RGB+T = 128 bits total).
    32 bit PNG is a nomenclature that needs to go away - the number could mean 1 channel at 32 bits/channel, 2 channels of 16 bits each, or 4 channels of 8 bits each. (or more if PNG supported more bit depths)
    In Photoshop, you're using bits per channel. You want 8 bits per channel, not 32.

  • How to save from .ai to .png without a gap

    I created a repeating pattern. I made the artboard the exact size of the art. I zoomed in and there are no gaps around the edge. I saved it for web and devices png8 and the top has a gap with transparency showing through. When I use it as a web page background, there is a white stripe showing. I've tried twice to resave it but get the same gap.
    I'm trying to upload the two images using the camera icon but nothing happens after I select the image and click the "insert image" button. Again, I've tried twice without a different result. Please advise.
    Thank you.

  • ALV Grid: how to save changes made in an editable Grid

    Hi,
    How to save changes made bu the user in any of the editable cells in a ALV Grid?

    Hi,
    If you are using the FM look at the following example code...
    data: LC_GLAY TYPE LVC_S_GLAY.
    LC_GLAY-EDT_CLL_CB = 'X'.<<<<<------
    gt_layout-zebra = 'X'.
    gt_layout-detail_popup = 'X'.
    gt_layout-colwidth_optimize = 'X'.
    call function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
    EXPORTING
    i_callback_program = i_repid
    i_callback_user_command = 'USER_COMMAND1'
    it_fieldcat = header
    is_layout = gt_layout
    i_callback_top_of_page = 'TOP-OF-PAGE1'
    i_grid_title = text-h17

    clear itab.
    Form USER_COMMAND1
    FORM USER_COMMAND1 USING u_ucomm LIKE sy-ucomm
    us_selfield TYPE slis_selfield."#EC CALLED
    case u_ucomm.
    when '&DATA_SAVE'.<<<<<<<<----
    This will come after the data was EDITTED and when SAVE was clicked by user in output scren.
    Here now in the final internal table(ITAB) you can find the data changed in EDIT mode.
    After this you can do manipulation what ever you want.
    Thanks.

  • How to save my voice memos in windows laptop as I already know how to synchronise ?

    How to save my voice memos from iPhone to windows laptop after syncronising with iTunes which memos are 1hr longer?

    Usually it goes to the last folder used or the folder the current PDF was opened from (I am getting the latter in my current Acrobat). If you want a different folder, you will have to go through the tree to your desired folder process.

  • I can't figure out how to save my events onto an external hardrive

    I have been looking at the event libraries and everywhere to figure out how to save my files onto an external hardrive. I currently use FCPX to edit Call of Duty Montages for people as my job so I need this to work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong and I really need storage.

    In the Copy Files Into: field there is a pop up that allows you select where your media is copied to.
    Looking at the above screen shot if I want files to be copied to my External LaCie drive I just tick that one.
    Firstly you will have to create at least one Library on the External to send it there.
    There is the CHOOSE option that allows you to navigate anywhere on the the system to manually select a destination.

                         + "SI_INSTANCE=0 And SI_ID=" + reportID;
                    InfoObjects infoObjects = infoStore.Query(query);
                    InfoObject infoObject = infoObjects[1];
                    Webi wreport = (Webi)infoObject;

    But the report is presents in the Folder also and in user's personal category also.
    I dont want the report to be in the folder (Report Sample) if i saved it in user's personal category.
    How can i do that?

  • How to save JList items!

    hello,
    i m creating a class that has three JList components.
    My problem is how to save the each JList items into a seperate logfile(ie. text file).

    More info required:
    What are in the JList? Strings? Custom objects?
    Do you know basic file IO?
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/index.html
    What you will need to do is get the model, ilterate over each element, then write that element out. If the element is a string, then that is easy, just create a FileWriter, and write the string, followed by a new line.
    If it is a custom object, then the task is harder, and you need to decide how that object should be represented.
    If you are after a computer readable view of the model, rather than a human readable, which can easily be read by Java back into a ListModel, then you want to look at XMLEncoder and XMLDecode, or the Serializing Objects tutorial.

  • I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them?  Can I back those up to iCloud?  My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)

    "I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them?  Can I back those up to iCloud?  My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)"
    That was all I could put in the initial "box."  Then it brought me to this page with instructions on how to write a good sentence.
    Proceeding ...
    After going back and forth between Apple, AT&T and the police (all telling me to go to the other two) I took AT&Ts suggestion and got a new number. One tech warned against doing a backup, especially on my Mac, saying if my phone had been hacked then whatever bug was there would then invade my computer. But nobody knows how to determine if the phone has been hacked or a virus was planted there. Unfortunately I know who would have reason to do such a thing and all I can say is that he is at the top technologically and could easily do it. Almost impossible to prove, however.
    So I need to preserve my text messages and my emails as well. I backed up my photos to that Microsoft product (One-Drive) and it froze (Surprise, Surprise) with four short videos to go, and no way of stopping that (when I tried it crashed repeatedly) so I'm in crisis mode here.
    Help ...
    Running 8.0 on 5S
    Thanks!

    Betty I don't know if you fixed your hacking problem but I feel your pain. I've seen some strange things going on between my iMac and my iPhone and Apple has told me the same thing, call the police which I have done. The hackers have stole 500.00 out of my checking account have access to every internet account I use and no matter how often I change the password their right back on the account. I closed my FB account 3 times only to have someone reopen it. Right now I've got a link in my reading list (Safari) that if I click on it, it allows me to log onto my FB account anonymously.
    I've seen a green folder come out of no where while I was trying to delete my passwords out of keychain when that green folder was put into the key chain I was immediately locked out. I than went into system preferences to try to make changes to my security settings, when I clicked on the icon it wouldn't open. I've seen log files of automator receiving commands and sending out my personal information thats on my computer.
    I have a legitamate program called iExplorer that allows you to look at the contents of your iPhone back ups and saw a transaction someone made at the Apple store for some full length movies, some albums, ibooks and other apps but when I called the iTunes store and they said none of those items were showing up on my account. If their not on my account how can they be on my iPhone 6? One day someone was using my gmail account and unknowingly used google maps to search for an Italian restaurant, than a Mexican restaurant than a coffee shop and their search showed up on my iPhone but I didn't have my gmail account installed on my iPhone 6. Using my computer I logged onto my gmail account and looked at the maps history and sure enough there were the searches when I'd hover my curser over the link it gave me the longitude and latitude of the where the hacker was when he was using google maps. I know whoever reads this thinks Im crazy but I've documented everything and can prove the things that I have mentioned in this post actually happened.
    One day I had my laptop (pc) and my iMac next to each other as I was using both. when I clicked on airport it showed that my laptop and my iMac had made a connection and were actually communicating with each other. I know I didn't do it I don't know how. The iMac was logged into my iCloud account while my laptop wasn't. I have formatted my iPhone at least a dozen times, Apple and an Apple retailer have formatted my hard drive not to mention the numerous times I have formatted it but the hackers keep getting on my devices. Im formatting my lap top at this very second because during the course of the night I left the ethernet cable plugged into it and they locked me out of my c: drive, and configured the system so I can't download any updates from Microsoft, overtime I type in www.microsoft.com it changes to ww38.microsoft.com which takes me to a blank page. I right clicked on the page I was redirected to and read the java script and couldn't believe that someone had actually configured Internet Explorer to redirect me to a blank page when I tried to go to Microsoft. Apples answer to all this is there was nothing wrong with my iPhone or my iMac and if I thought there was a problem to call the police which I have done.
    Theres no doubt the hackers are reading this while I type it or will read it and I simply don't care anymore. I no longer email anyone, don't use my iCloud account and have taken precautions to protect my credit but if I ever find out who has invaded my privacy to this extreme the police are going to want to talk to me because Im going to hurt them like they've never been hurt before
