Import Image and Transparency

I am importing an image (GIF) with transparency properties as a drop zone. How do i make the background of this image transparent. This image serves no purpose other than just being an image. It is not a button or has any associated actions.
Please help - Thanks

Don't use GIF, use TIFF instead. This will preserve the transaparency.

    Adobe Illustrator.  Your company logo should be a vector file.  Image files can be "Placed" in Illustrator.  Artwork created for printing can be drawn in Illustrator and saved as .ai, .eps, and .pdf files which can be imported into your printer's RIP.  But, check with your print vendors and see what they require.  This does not rule-out Photoshop, however Photoshop can be limited.  So, it would be a good idea to have Photoshop and Illustrator loaded in your workstation with Illustrator being the go-to application.

    If the images are not identified as missing ... then you can't reconnect them
    But I'm not really sure what is happening, as I don't understand your description of the problem, could you show us a screen capture? Or describe what appears on your screen in much more detail...

  • Imported image and making white space transparent...

    I need to make the white space around an image transparent without having to use the clipping mask tool. In Freehand, you simply click a button and the white background disappears. I need to use that exact technique to hide the white background.
    How can I do this in InDesign?
    Thank you.

    There's quick, and there's right. They're rarely in the same space.
    To make a transparent background can be a complex and fussy process. While InDesign could include a general tool to do so, it would likely be inferior to actually making the image background transparent in a native image editing tool.
    I've found most such embedded features to be adequate only for low end work - e.g., they leave a background halo on the image, or a noisy edge, or other image problems. I really don't see it as a flaw or omission that ID forces you to use a proper tool to create the background transparency.

  • Importing Images w/ Transparent Areas

    Hi Folks,
    I'm working on creating a form and I am creating graphics for layout.  I am using Illustrator CS3 to create them, but when I try the various formats of files, I cannot get them to display properly in Designer ES2.
    EPS - The CMYK color in ES2 is much different than my Illustrator colour
    TIFF - According to the help doesn't support CMYK?
    "Designer ES2 supports Monochrome (1 color component 1-bit depth), Greyscale (1 color component 8-bit depth), RGB (3 color components 8-bit depth), and Palette (1 color component 1,2,4,8-bit depths) TIF images. "
    PNG - It is not including my transparent areas
    JPG - Does not support transparency
    BMP - Does not support CMYK and transparency
    GIF - Does not support CMYK
    Anyone been able to find a good format that supports CMYK and transparency?
    Scott

    Hi Scott,
    I have used PNG, but you need to save them for 'web & devices' in Photoshop. Illustrator CS4 also has a 'save for web& devices' as well. Not sure about CS3.
    This is the only way I know of getting CMYK (or RGB) images with transparencies into LC designer.
    Good luck,
    Niall

  • My photoshop CC has suddenly stopped importing images and twain imprt too

    Hi I have a subscription to creative cloud. My photoshop cc has stopped importing images.
    When I try to bring an imagin into a PS layer PS suddenly quits on me. I windows message
    comes up saying PS will now close.  What to do?
    Upgrade to 2015 or reinstall? Or what...
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Two things to try:
    Reset Preferences  Hold down Ctrl-Shift-Alt while starting Photoshop and say yes to the reset.
    If that doesn't work, Uninstall/Clean/Reinstall.
    Use the CC Cleaner here. Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    It will delete any corrupt files or registry errors that the uninstaller missed, and then you can re-install.

  • Images and Transparency

    Ok, so I have a program wwhich displays 2 Images, one on top of the other.
    The first one (rendered first) is an image loaded from a file which is completely opaque.
    The second one starts off as completely transparent, but every time you click on it, a semi-transparent square appears.
    The only problem is that if you click again on the same square it adds another semi-transparent square on top, making it more opaque.
    I was wondering if there is an easy way to make it draw a semi-transparent sqaure the first time I click, and do nothing the second time.
    Is it possible to do this using AWT instead of keeping a record of which squares have been drawn?

  • How to import images and keywords from Nikon PictureProject to LR2?

    I have several thousand pictures that I have captured with my Nikon cameras (the present being a D300). I have imported those to my Mac (OS X) using the Nikon PictureProject software. This software has now been discontinued by Nikon, and I have switched to using Lightroom 2 instead.  But when I try to import my photo library from Nikon PictureProject all the keywords describing the images are eliminated and I only get a date and number. This is obviously creating a big problem. Nikon has replied that they have no solution to propose! Has anyone else been exposed to the same difficulty? And has some creative person found a solution?
    Thank you for your assistance!

    Thank you for your help! My wife Marianne who has the problem has used PictureProject in a very special way. She has typed in the keywords on the line where PictureProject gives the basic information about the photo DCS3_7325 for example. Where DCS3 shows it is a digital Nikon camera D300 and the 7325 is the camera's (own I imagine) number for the original photo.
    In front of this my wife has written the description of the photos e.g. "Paris bridges Pont Neuf". (And not in the place provided by PictureProject for keywords.)
    It has been possible to search the photos by typing in the added words.
    Do you think that this additional (not intended by PictureProject) information could be imported to Lightroom2?
    Thank you for using your experience to see if this can be solved.

  • How does one import images and maintain the sorting order?

    i'm trying to import 59 images (1024 x 768 png files) into keynote. i want them to create a series of image slides with 1 image/slide and keep them in the order i.e. sorted by image file name such as:
    image001.png
    image002.png
    image003.png
    and so on.
    i've tried dragging and dropping these images onto the navigator sidebar but the images get out of order randomly.
    has anyone encountered this? this seems like a bug.
    thanks,
    matt

    hi marcus.
    thanks for the suggestion.
    while i have not tried your solution yet, i'll bet that it'll work and you're correct, it would be faster than rearranging the slides later. it drives me crazy that what i'm trying to do does not work out of the box. if there's one thing apple promotes in its apps its got to be drag and drop. that this does not yet work is nutty.
    good luck,
    matt

  • Importing images and event creation

    Hi,
    I'm using iPhoto 11 on my MacPro to import a folder of camera images from my Samsung Galaxy (booo! ) that's ive copied to my desktop.
    For some reason, iPhoto won't split the shots into events but creates one event with these images giving them the date; 11 Oct 2012 - 3 Jan 2013 ??
    I've checked iPhoto prefs and 'Autosplit into events - One per day' is on!?
    Is there something i'm missing here? Is it because I'm bringing in some shots from a rival phone??
    Would appreciate any advice please.
    Tony.

    But if the images are timestamped and they are otherwise, iPhoto wouldn't acknowledge that the time spread of the shots is from Oct to Jan, why doesn't it split them?
    Huh?
    It doesn't split folders imported from the Finder. Many people prefer this. For those who don't, then yes there is the terribly ardous task of selecting the Event then pushing the enormously heavy cursor all the way to the top of the screen, clicking on the menu and then clicking on the command. It's very difficult, I know.
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and tell them your concerns.
    Either i'm doing something wrong or this is another example of how Apple is dumbing down it's software.
    A $15 app that does full lossless processing, raw support, publishing and sharing, managing and slideshows and books cards, facial recognition and location tracking too. Wish every software was as dumb.

  • Captured & imported image, and driver package not going to DP

    I have an image I've imported and even though I've selected "Distribute Content" manually it does not go to DP.   I checked everything I could think of (making sure DP was set to service the boundary group, etc.), but it still won't go.  
    In status, it says "in process".  
    Question - do I need image/properties/package share settings "copy the content in this package to a package share on distribution points" selected to enable this image to be sent to the DP?
    Under Distribution Settings - do I need to select "Distribute the content for this package to a preferred DP..." and any recommendations on if this should be sent to Automatically, Download only changes, or Manual?
    Similarly, I also noticed my Driver Package had also not been sent to the DP, so my question applies to that as well.  After creation, do these settings need to be selected?
    Thank you
    Nathan

    Hi,
    The reason why this happens is a combination of the following two reasons:
    - You enabled for prestaged content in the distribution point.
    - Go to the properties of the image, on the "Distribution Settings" tab the radio button is set to "Manually copy this content to the distribution point".
    Enabling the prestaging option on a DP will tell the DP to not receive content automatically. It is waiting until an administrator copied *.pkgx files manually to it and registers them using extractcontent.exe. That might be useful for DPs at the end of very
    small WAN links.

  • Importing Images and iPad crashes

    I am importing about 230 images from my Droid, which is being replaced Thursday by the iPhone 4, but I cant finish because the app crashes. Any ideas?

    I had same problem with sd card reading onto my ipad using the camera connection kit. Photos from one camera would import ok but not from the other. I read on another forum where a guy solved it by changing the time format from 12 hour to 24 hour in ipad settings. My ipad was already set to 24 hour format so I did the opposite and switched it to 12 hour. This solved the problem and the couple of hundred photos imported straight away.
    Maybe my two cameras are using different time formats, not certain as I haven't investigated further.
    Hope this helps.

  • Import image and set length

    hi,
    am a long time Premiere and AE user. Currently just testing the trial version of FCP X on a new project. also interested in Compressors distributed rendering.
    Q1:
    in the intro of a project I am using a clip where I want to blend in the brand logo of a company (tiff or PSD with neutral background) for about 6 secs, and then blend out.
    not a big deal in Premiere, just drag the PSD or Tiff in, set the length and blend, and you are done.
    How do I do that in FCP? couldn't find a way to set the length of time to display that tiff or psd (they are just fixed in length), and also neutral background was not easy to do.
    Q2:
    I do a lot of TimeLapse work for clients. for producing TL sequences, I usually just load a TL image sequence into AE, do the deflickering and then render a quicktime clip etc.
    how is this done in FCP X? importing a image sequence takes ages and does not lead to any result.
    thanks for any tips on both topics.
    cheers
    chris

    Q1.
    Select the image in the Event Browser and press 'Q' to apply it to the timeline as a connected clip (or if you prefer to apply the image to the primary storyline, press 'E' to append it to the end of the storyline, or 'D' to overwrite the storyline at the playhead position.
    All you need to do then is drag either end of the clip to extend it as much as you want to.
    Q2.
    'Import' - then check 'Image Sequence' and choose the first number in the sequence of images.
