Import EPS and make transparent background

Hi all,
I'm basically a n00b with Illustrator. I have an EPS logo (downloaded from here: http://www.allfreelogo.com/logo/federal-bureau-of-investigation-fbi-logo.html) and it imports perfectly to Illustrator.
However, after I resize it, when I do the "Save for Web and Devices", it keeps creating my GIF file with a white background despite I've asked for transparent. Is there a way to make that transparent?
I'm sure it's one little thing I'm missing because I don't know Illustrator. Thanks for any help.

Here you go (hope this is the way to insert it...)

How do I cut out imported objects and make background transparent?

Illustrator CS3.
I have embedded a jpeg picture which I need to cut out and make the background transparent. How do I do this? An opacity mask? How do I create a mask the same shape as the object I need to cut out? The object needs central pieces cut out too. Please help!

Opacity mask of clipping path are the two ways to do this in Illustrator. Photoshop is the ideal program for this task.

HT4641 Importing graphics with with transparent backgrounds such as .psd or .eps

I want to use this for an art project for my sons class. Can I import .psd files with transparent backgrounds as per Word, to retain the clear cut shape/opacity of background. Or can I import .eps illustrator files with transparent backgrounds? Thanks.

If you need transparency - as I stated - you need to convert the image to GIF. PSD is a layered graphic workspace file specifically for PhotoShop; EPS can be read by more applications, but is still basically a graphic print format. It might serve your customer needs, but wouldn't be the format I would recommend for general distribution. Typically you wouldn't embed EPS in another file, it would be the container for the print ready document (and the concern for transparency would be somewhat moot).
However, I'm not familiar with the intimate details of your project or customer needs, so take that for what its worth.

How do you import jpegs and make a flip book with CC Id?

How do you import jpegs and make a flip book with CC Id?

You actually don't need to make a flipbook yourself. There are paid and free, ready-to-use flipbooks in Flash or HTML5 available which you just need to configure and then put all images into a specific folder and the flipbook runs them.

Import Adobe Illustrator With Transparent Background?

I love using Adobe Illustrator for creating graphics/logos for use in our vidoes. For example, I'll lay out some text (a group of names) and a couple of logos on one page. Then I want to import it into FCP. But everytime I try to do this, it imports with a white background. I've tried changing the Alpha Channel settings in the FCP Browser, but they have no effect.
If I open the file in Photoshop, the graphic will import with a transparent background. Then I can save it as a PSD and import it into FCP. This always works fine. But it's a big pain to have to go through Photoshop, just to use Illustrator as my graphic design software of choice.
Is there a way to go straight from Illustrator into FCP?

Why can't make transparent background

i have a png image whit a blue background
if i select the background and press CANC photoshop ask me how i want to fill it, colour BG colour etc...
why i can't just delete the BG and make it transparent?
and another thing, when you have the 2 colour selection (on the left side) the white and the black square, is there a way to make the bottom square transparent? (i suppose is the grey square with a red line in it)
http://www.legitreviews.com/images/reviews/949/corsair_256mb_ssd_back.jpg

You can. First you need to convert the background layer to a normal layer for the Photoshop "Background" layer does not support transparency. Then select the white area and delete it.
Save as a png.

Is it possible to import an image w/ transparent background from photoshop?

Hello,
I was wondering if it's possible to import an image which contains a transparent part of it into Motion, so I can later add in images and videos underneath that layer.
Thanks for your time.

hi again,
there are two ways to do this. In Photoshop you can elect to have a transparent background, if you erase your image to show the chequered background, Motion will do the same.
Or from within Motion you can apply a mask to an image to have it show whats underneath. Apply the mask using the mask tools in the toolbar to the image, then step over to the Inspector, hit the mask tab and select the type as subtract. That will punch a hole in your image revealing whatever is underneath it.
thanks

Importing a graphic with transparent background

I have a graphic that has a transparent background in Photoshop. When I import it into Indesign, it has a white background. Is there a way to keep the transparent background when importing?

A quick test shows it works perfectly for me. Created a regular Photoshop document, transparent background, some text on an otherwise empty layer. Saved as PSD. Placed into InDesign CS4. Transparency all around.
Did you, by any chance, not use the proper import ("Place") function but used copy-and-paste to get it into InDesign?

After make transparent background everything is transparent - what a stupid FLEX !!

I created transparent background. But each component placed on this background is also transparent - only letters are visible. I can't make other background for these components - for example button - I can't create red button:

Does anybody know how I can make not transparent components for transparent background ?

I didn't know about Category View in Flex Builder. I thought that Standard View has got the same properties as Category View. But as I see Category View has got much more properties !!
backgroundAlpha="0" works !! at least - thx !! So screen with this option in Flex Builder:

I can't make my logo into a vector image and make the background transparent

I have a logo in psd that I bring into illustrator. I need to turn it into a vector image because it's going on a billboard. But when I do I can't get rid of the white background, make it transparent. Can anyone offer any solutions?

Click on the properties icon in the top tool bar and choose ignore white, then the trace will trace everything except the white.

How can I make Transparent background?

I want make some part of JFrame as Transparent so that I can see through.
How can I do this? any example?

This is a bug that I personally reported and had verified. Basically, you can modify the color of GUI components' backgrounds, right? Well, the Color object supports transparency. However, modifying this simply doesn't work (I actually tried it two ways). At any rate, what I observed was that it DID let me do transparency, but there were all kinds of repaint problems. So when 1.4 came out, I thought they might have fixed it. NOPE! They just threw out the implementation, at least for now. Now when I run in 1.4, I don't see ANY transparency AT ALL!

Photoshop text + bevel and emboss on TRANSPARENT background?

I've created my Photoshop title images with text + bevel and emboss, on a transparent background.
I've Rasterized the type and I've merged down leaving the transparent background (not flattened) then saved as .psd or .tif (with layers).
When I import into FCP I either get the text WITH bevel and emboss, on a WHITE background or text WITHOUT bevel and emboss, on a TRANSPARENT background.
Strange thing is, I've imported Photoshop images with transparent backgrounds into FCP several times before and although I can't say I've never had problems, I've always managed to work it out quite easily. Not this time, I'm baffled and seriously considering getting cross!
Quad 2.5 G5. 8 GB Ram. 250 & 500 GB Internal Drives. G-Tech G-Raid 1 TB Mac OS X (10.4.6) FCP 5.0.4 (FC Studio). Photoshop CS2. Sony HVR-Z1E

Hello,
I have tried the Ken Stone method (thank God for that guy...) but I am loosing my drop shadow and bevel effects on the text once the file is imported in FCP.. I used the NTSC preset with Transparent background in Photoshop. What am I missing? I have looked around in this forum and can't find a clear answer!!
Any thoughts??

How to Export with Transparent Background

I have created a logo in Freehand 10, and I need to export it
as an EPS with a transparent background to place in an InDesign
document. How do I export the file with a transparent background?
Thanks!
-Elisha

> Please excuse my lack of experience, but can you please
explain what you mean
> by "without screen image"?
In general contents of eps files (encapsulated postscript)
cannot be viewed with layout programs and alike. Therefore a screen
image must be included for placing. When the document is printed to
a postscript printer or exported as pdf the screen image is omitted
and the postscript code is used. In this case it is not 'What you
see is what you get' but "What you get is what you can't see'.
In Windows the screen image has always been a opaque bitmap
image but in mac screen image can be 'clipped'. In both platforms,
however, the postscript output is the same i.e. without background.
> I did try exporting as Illustrator 7, but it only came
in as a grey box in
> InDesign. I'm waiting on approval to purchase the
upgrade to Illustrator CS3.
I'm not sure if InDesign CS2 can show contents of eps files,
both Mac and Windows. I just tried exporting eps and ai from
FreeHand and they worked well in Windows InDesign CS3.
Usually eps file without screen image appear as white box and
all the images as grey boxes if Disply Performance is set to Fast
Disply in InDesign. So check InDesign display settings.
Also try to export eps with a screen image.
If the logo is simple with just outline objects it can be
copypasted into InDesign as well. In FreeHand 'copy special' and
select the clipboard format.
