I want to place a jpeg graphic in illustrator without a white box
Hi
I have received a logo from another company for a flyer in a jpeg format. I want to place it in illustrator without a white box around the actual graphic as I am placing it on a coloured background.
I am able to remove the white background using photoshop, however whenever I File>Place or cut and paste the photo as an eps. psd., tif or jpeg, the white background returns. What I am doing wrong?
You need to use a format that supports transparency. JPEG files do not ever support transparency. Open the JPEG in Photoshop and save as PSD. Use Photoshop to create the transparency by either double-clicking on the Background layer and removing the white opaque areas or adding a clipping mask. You can then place the PSD file into Illustrator with transparency intact. Look in Photoshop’s help files for more help with these tasks.

Exporting an Indesign PDF to JPEG causes logo dropshadow to have white box--why?
Hi all,
I have an Indesign document with a logo in the header. This logo (a linked .png file) has a dropshadow applied to it using Indesign's drop shadow fx (the drop shadow was not created with the graphic in a graphics program). When I export this document to a PDF, everything appears fine. However, when I then convert this PDF to a .JPEG, something happens to the logo--a white box is shown around the logo. I am guessing it's a transparency issue that is causing this white box. If so, why? Why do I get this "white box" around the logo when I export a PDF to a jpeg?
Thanks for any clues anyone can provide to this strange phenomenon.Hmm.
From the first post, I was thinking the work-flow was:
Export from ID to PDF
Open PDF following its creation
Using Acrobat's file menu, export as JPG
As fars as #2 above, if the checkbox in ID's Export as PDF dialog box is checked, the PDF is opened automatically in Acrobat (if installed). Is this what you mean by "it launches its internal Acrobat dialogue box"?
As far as an internal setting, try exporting directly from ID. Select the items to be exported and when you get to the export dialog, make sure the "Selection" setting is chosen. Then you may be able to isolate whether it is ID (cannot imagine) or it is the PDF export profile, or even one of Acrobat's settings for exporting images.
Take care, Mike -
I'm running Illustrator CS5 and need to place a jpeg. No matter what file format I try (psd., tiff, bmp, jpeg) I get this message
"The file "OldLogo.jpg" is in a format that cannot be placed. I thought the file size could be too large so I reduced it to 357K.
Does anybody have a clue?
Thanks,Do other images place, or is this problem limited to just this one file? Try opening the image in photoshop, copying all and pasting into a new photoshop file. If this does not place, I cannot see this being a problem with the file but with Illustrator not wanting to place the document (Unless your photoshop is assigning a corrupt color profile each time).

Is Canvas the best choice to draw stuff onto?

I want to place an image in my InDesign document that can work with an address like this (\Resources\Thumb) rather than this (C:\Users\JSmith\Desktop\InDesign thumbnail Test\001\Resources\Thumb) is this possible? In a nutshell I want to point the link to an image in a directory that uses just part of the address.
I know this is something you can do in Maya with linked files. I guess InDesign just isn't there yet.
MW Design - Yeah I think "Relative paths" is the right term! I want to create a Layout with an image in the center of the page - and then duplicate my folder structure with that file. With that, I want to replace the Linked image file with a diferent image file of the same name. In effect having multiple files of the same layout with different images. I hope that made sense. -

I created an album in iPhoto 11 and I have placed photos in a certain order for her graduation party slideshow. I want to place that album or photos on a thumbdrive, but when I do I lose the order I placed them in the folder. renamed the photos starting with 1 and ending 262. thinking that would save the photos in order. Each time I try to export them that are placed in original folder names and descriptions need help.
This is a two part process. First we title the photos, then we export them, using the title as filename.
To title them
Once you have then in the order you want select them all and go
Photos -> Batch Change. Select set 'Title' to 'Text'
Choose a Title -> Graduation 2013 or whatever, then check the box at 'Append number to each photo.
Now, in the Album all your photos are named... Graduation 001, 002, 003 etc
Next Export them:
File -> Export, and in the Name option, choose 'Title as Filename' and complete the export.

already have iphones and ipads. ipads on commom icloud acct. want to place iphones and ipads on same icloud acct but kind of remember reading God knows where that I won't be able to change icloud accts once they are set up on iphones??
never posted anything before and know this looks amateurish. thanks Goofoff24If you only have iCloud's basic, free 5 GBs of storage, if you had more than this on your iPad, chances are high that your backups to iCloud weren't a complete iPad backup, anyhow. And since this has been full for 23 weeks means that you may end up only retrieving a fraction of your current data that you had on your iPad, if what you had on your iCloud backup contained anything that may still have been on your iPad.
This is just one of the reasons I do not like Cloud storage services.
The best and most reliable backup of your iPad is to use a computer with Apple iTunes installed on it and connect your iPad to your computer and let iTunes syc and backup all of your iPad's data.
I an afraid without a clear, comprehensive backup, whatever is saved to your iCloud account is all you are going to be able to retrieve.
If you have purchased anything from IOS App Store and/or iTunes on your iPad, all of iTunes and iOS App Store purchases will have to be redownload and reinstalled.
You won't get charged, again, for the purchases you had already made.
Sorry. -
I am facing problem regarding graphical user interface. I am using text box for editing files. I want to show the line numbers and graphical breakpoints along with text box. Can anybody help me in this? Thanks.
Thanks for you reply.
But actually I don't want to show the \ (backslashes) to the user in my text box.
Ok let me elaborate this problem little more.
I want to show my text box as it is in normal editors e.g. In Matlab editor. There is a text box and on left side the gray bar shows the line numbers corresponding to the text. Further more i want that the user should be able to click on any line number to mark specific line as breakpoint (red circle or any graphical indication for mark).

Phone jack nowhere near where I want to place the gateway
I recently received a wireless gateway to replace my modem and router. I have the triple play. I do not have a phone jack anywhere near where I want to place the wireless gateway for Internet access. I currently have the modem for the phone in the garage and my Internet modem/router in the living room. I do not have a phone jack near it. I am under the impression that if I activate the wireless gateway without using the phone port, it will inactivate my current phone modem and I will lose my phone service. HELP
They should be able to keep the one in the garage for the phone active, and use the new gateway for just internet.
I have several customers with one device for the phone and one more for internet only.
Keep track of the serial numbers of both devices to make sure the right ones are provisioned for the right services. -

I want to place a query in main menu
Hi Experts
I want to place a query in main menu but it is not in a crystal report format? How should I be able to do that in SAP 8.8?
Please guide me further in this matter.Hi Bhavesh.....
If it is the case of only SQL Query then it is not possible to take it under standard module but you can definitely take it in User Menu.
But if it is the case of Crystal Report then you can anyway include it under standard module list.....

Bridge is just a file browser. It does not contain any photos inside the application itself. Bridge will see and display your photos wherever you put them.
You cannot "transfer the edited images to Bridge". That is wholly nonsensical. Just use Bridge to navigate to your image files, wherever you put them. -
