I want to make a picture transparency in Aperture 3.4.3

I have a picture in Photoshop CS6 and with transparency and saved in PSD.
I have also tried with TIFF, PNG etc. and set layer/file to save in transparency.
The Aperture shows the picture before import without background, but when I try to import it it got a black or white background.
Is it possible to use transparency?
I want to make a photobook for print at Apple, and some of the pictures on some pages need to be transparent.
Maybe best solution is to make all in InDesign+Photoshop and send it to press ?
But I liked Aperture way to make easy printable books.

Hi Mr. Jordfald.
What Frank said:
Aperture will preserve the alpha channel in an image but will not create one or work with it within Aperture.
does not indicate that you cannot use Originals that have an alpha channel in Aperture. Afaik -- and you should test this yourself -- if you assign an Image with an Alpha channel to a book, and print the book, the Alpha channel will be used in the printed book.
That isn't the workflow we would all like, but the compromise should work (again, afaik -- please confirm). Whether it is worth it for you, only you can decide.

How can I make a picture transparent in Keynote

So I'm helping my kid with a school project with a simple Keynote presentation. I know how to make the whitespace around a shape in Powerpoint blend in with the background, but I can't figure out how to do the same in Keynote. It's a simple small square pic that he wants to use for a Wild West presentation. I've read where people have done some import/export of images into photoshop, but that's not an option for us. I've exported the imaga and saved as a .png and re-imported it, but still no-go. Can anyone help? It's a Mac, and shouldn't be this difficult. We've got Keynote '09. Yes...'09 on a MacPro running 10.6.8.

Click the Alpha button in the tool bar and drag on the white in the image with the mouse until the background is removed.

I want to make thumbnail pictures of logo to have the full effect on Facebook

I have some logos on Facebook and want to have their full names and not half of it. How to make a thumbnail to have the full effect. Any ideas?

How images are displayed on FaceBook is a matter for Facebook.
You can chnage the size of an image using the export dialogue.
File -> Export
In the resulting dialogue note two options:
Jpeg Quality is the amount of compression used on the file. Lower Quality means a smaller file.
Size refers to the Dimensions (length by breadth) of the photo in Pixels. Smaller dimensions means smaller file size.

Add your video component to one layer and your non-opaque panel to another layer.Did you try that with JMF? It does not work for me. As I said, the movie seems to draw itself always on top!

In case you're not clear - iPad/iPhone storage, and iCloud storage, are totally separate. Buying more iCloud storage does not give you more storage space on your device. Your device has a fixed storage space for apps and data (e.g., 16GB - which is more like 12GB in real terms). iCloud storage just allows you to store more documents, mail, photos, etc, in the cloud.

I want to make a video clip using two still pictures, placing side by side. I am able to make with only one at a time. Also, I am able to move the picture using Transform. But unsuccessfull in making with two stills in same clip. Thank you for reply.

If you want a Picture in Picture effect, stack one still on top of the other with a connect edit. Use Transform to scale and reposition the top image.

I have several issues that I hope you can help me out with. I am a professional photographer with a Mac with OS X 10.9.4:
- I can only make ONE contact sheet in CS6 (from AUTOMATE) from pictures indicated in Bridge. If I want to make another contact sheet I need to shut down and restart CS6.
- Camera RAW: if I change any setting in Camera RAW (except exposure), having first optimized the exposure, the exposure will automatically return to zero. Sometimes when I've set exposure and cropped the picture in Camera RAW Plug-In, the effects are lost just by opening the picture in CS6.
- Sometimes if I crop a picture in Camera RAW, it may be impossible to open it again from Bridge!
- I cannot do lens corrections in Camera RAW, at all. The Camera RAW comment is that "it cannot load the correct lens type". Why?

Are you writing that when you select a large number of images in the bridge like a hundred thumbnails when you then use Bridge menu Tools>Photoshop>Contact Sheet II that Photoshop only produces a single contact sheet for the first few thumbnails and fails to produce additional contact sheets for the other selected thumbnails? Photoshop contact sheet II script should create as many contact sheet as needed for the numbers of thumbnails selected. Perhaps the script is hung or you have exhausted your machine resources.
ACR Crop tool does not crop the RAW file it records crop settings to be used during the conversion process. Camera RAW DATA is not altered. The only changes made to RAW Files is ACR Metadata may be added. Anything you do in ACR can be un-done in ACR. If you can not open a RAW File in ACR the Files is either corrupt or from a new camera ACR does not support yet. ACR should not corrupt RAW files.
If you do not have a lens profile for ACR I think you should still be able to do lens correction manually in ACR.
Some of what you write I don't follow could you post some screen captures of your problems often a picture helps.

I want to make a copy of all my pictures in iPhoto

while working on a photo book my events, 242 of them, all got mixed in just several big events. I have been trying to create new events mostly of our trips but sometimes the event will appear and sometimes not. The event will show but with no pictures. I want to try the iphoto first aid but want to make a backup picture file off site first. Do I copy the masters or original files.

Neither. You back up the whole Library.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

Is there a way to color one thing in a black and white photo. Example: I have a picture of a tulip field and I want to make it black and white - which I have already done - but I want to make one single tulip red. Help?

Is there a way to color one thing in a black and white photo. Example: I have a picture of a tulip field and I want to make it black and white - which I have already done - but I want to make one single tulip red. Help?

No, you'll need an external editor for the job:
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

I have letters on top of image...want to make transparent

I have a logo in vector format that I'm modifying to make certain areas transparent. I have the letters "P4B" that overlay part of the image. Basically, I want the image to have the letters "P4B" cut out of it.
I've reviewed basic lessons on clipping/opacity masks, but I can't get the effect I want. I'm using Adobe Illustrator CC on a Mac. Any help is appreciated!

Make Opacity Mask with Clip unticked and Invert Mask ticked
There was another gray object underneath, so I couldn't see it before...I kept ungrouping objects until I could move the top one away to show that the effect was working. Then I erased the gray beneath it. Presto! I really appreciate your help. I've been stumped for a good day or so.
