How to use 'transparant' images

Hello,
I'm very new to Illustrator so excuse me if I ask something which can't be done.
In  Photoshop I have made a image where I removed the background, so that  the item is 'loose'  from the background (and the background is  transparant). I've saved the file as a PSD as well as a PNG.
Now  I want to import that image in an Illustrator document but when I do  this, the transparant part of the image becomes white in Illustrator.
Is there something which can be done so I can import an image with a transparant background?
I hope my question is clear (as English isn't my original language).

Well Mr. Jacob Brugge, to be honest.................than the problem is solved.
Tsjjjjjjjj.....how simple.
Thanks a million for this quick and correct reply.
I really feel stupid (but I thought I had tried this before and than it didn't work, but probably I did something wrong then).

    How to create transparent image at run-time? I mean I want to create a (new) transparent image1, then show other (loaded) transparent image2 to image1, then show image1 to a DC. The problem is - image1 has non-transparent background...

    i'm not sure, but you can set the alpha value to 0 in all pixels which are 'in' the background..

  • How to Use an Image to Customize the Static Button Widget

    Can I just get someone to help me figure out how to use an image to customize the static button widget, please?
    I have tried using several different types of images, but none of them seem to actually change the appearance of the button.
    Thanks!

    I tried to use the tools within the widget itself - it offers you the opportunity to use an image (see screenshot below).
    I also opened it in Flash and tried to replace the images for one of the button styles there w/ my own, but in re-publishing the SWF from there I broke the widget.  When I attempted to use the edited widget, there were no customization controls available after I inserted it (see screenshot two below).

    Use the above snippet. You might need to convert the Image Type you are using with picture functions. The above snippet will give you good idea on how to achieve what you intend to.

  • How to use an Image as JPanel's background

    I want to use an Image as my JPane background, how can I do that? anyone will be kind to provide some sample code?
    Thank you, please help
    Emily

    Do you want to tile the image or scale?
    The simplest way I can think of would be to extend JPanel and override paintComponent(Graphics g) to either tile the image or to scale it over the panel.

  • Using Transparent image...

    hi,
    I have been evaluating a mobile basketball game for SPrint(USA)
    The enviroment is MIDP
    But I don't know to use a transparent image(PNG type)...
    is it impossible?
    please let me know that...

    Yes it is possible, but MIDP is not expecting that device supports transparent images. That's sad but have to live with that. There is available phones which handles png alpha channels to create transparency like nokia 9210 and those B&W phones (e.g. SL45).

  • How to make transparant images with more then 8 bit color?

    Hi,
    I know that one can use *.gif images in order to make a transparent image. But *.gif images have only 8 bit color depth. Is there a way to display for example *.bmp images and making one color transparent? Or by using a mask like in C++?
    thanx in advance

    Use the PNG format for your images. It supports a color depth of 24 bits/pixel as well as 8 bits/pixel and got an alpha layer so you can have transparent and semi-transparent areas in your image.
    You can load PNG images in Java as easily as you do with GIF and JPG images.

    Is there anyway around to use background image for a portal page that works well with netscape.
    As I have used that but in coming in Netscape.
    thanks

    1) You post questions in the wrong forum. (As you title says this is a Swing question).
    2) Not once in your last 10 postings have you ever bothered to reply to a posting to thank people for the help you have received.
    I seriously doubt you well ever get answers in the future.

  • How to use an image as button?

    I want to set an image as the background of a frame, and also want use four regions of the image as four buttons. How?

    How about an image on the JFrame with four JButtons with some type of image (even if you copy a piece of you original image to place on the button)? I played around with this and its kind of neat. Easier from a gui perspective to see buttons than flat regions -
    Have fun
    //in a class that extends JFrame, create the image panel and add buttons with icons to it...
    Container contentPane = getContentPane();
    ImagePanel imagePanel = new ImagePanel(); //see below
    contentPane.add(imagePanel);
    JButton button = new JButton();
    button.setIcon(new ImageIcon(WorldMap.class.getResource("someGIF.gif"))); //or other form of getting and setting an icon
    button.setSize(65,45);
    mcsButton.setLocation(405,175);
    mcsButton.setContentAreaFilled(false); //important so the button looks like a raised part of the picture...not a grey box with an icon.
    mcsButton.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter()
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
    //do something
    imagePanel.setLayout(null);
    imagePanel.add(mcsButton,null);
    //code to put an image on a JPanel I received from this forum
    class ImagePanel extends JPanel
    private Image image;
    public ImagePanel()
    image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("C:/WholeWorldViewJPG.jpg");
    MediaTracker tracker = new MediaTracker(this);
    tracker.addImage(image, 0);
    try
    tracker.waitForID(0);
    catch (InterruptedException e)
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
    super.paintComponent(g);
    Dimension d = getSize();
    int clientWidth = d.width;
    int clientHeight = d.height;
    int imageWidth = image.getWidth(this);
    int imageHeight = image.getHeight(this);
    g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, this);
    for (int i = 0; i * imageWidth <= clientWidth; i++)
    for (int j = 0; j * imageHeight <= clientHeight; j++)
    if (i + j > 0)
    g.copyArea(0, 0, imageWidth, imageHeight, i * imageWidth, j * imageHeight);

  • Using Transparent Images in DW CS3

    I am new to DreamWeaver and would like to know the best type
    of image to use when transparency is desired. I have tried png
    files but they don't work in anything but IE7 without the fix that
    you have to add to CSS for every image. When I use a gif it is
    never transparent. When I post it there is white where the
    transparent should be. I know that this is an old issue and I have
    been reading alot in these forums but I want to know what the
    professionals do so I don't have to spend 48 hours with trial and
    error. Can anyone share their expert konwledge? Please!?

    Set the image transparency before you save the image (look
    for the selection
    list in the Optimize panel in FW).
