Import pic to illustrator - problems

I have a pic of a guy that seems to be on a transparent background in Photoshop.
when I try and drag the pic to Illustrator, or try C & P, or drag the whole layer the pic comes with a black background.
Ive tried selecting the guy and C & P into Illustrator but the background still comes.
What do I do ? 

That is what I meant, Placing the file in Illustrator – as that seemed to be what you were after.
Files usually don’t just save as random formats, it is up to the user to decide which format to use.
And as long as the file is less than 2GB one can save as a psd instead of psb.
cannot - can I have your email address so to send you a pdf
I had hoped you would post the screenshot on this Forum with the »Insert Image«-button.

  • Unable to view imported pics.

    I have been using iPhoto for 4 years and today is my first problem. 3 days ago I imported pics and no problem to view in full today I cannot view them in full mode only in thumbnail. Any ideas?

    What’s happened is that your Library has been corrupted. Now is the time to restore from your back up - and of course you have one.
    Otherwise: Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    Pat,
    Did you reinstall after updating to Yoesmite?
    If not, you could try to reinstall using the full three step way, and see whether things work.
    Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

  • LR 3.6 importing pics problem

    LR has recently been freezing my computer when I try to import pics, this happen with any device.  It will even freeze up when I try to import them from "my pictures" folder.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Hal!
    Thank you so, so much for your reply!
    Thats make sense.
    Today I'm away from home, but tomorrow I'll check it, but I think this will solve my problem and I will be able to work comfortably.
    However, such large temp files should not be normal... you confirm? (temp file after viewed a few (20-50) photos can be more than 10 GB.)
    Best regards and again - thank you Hal!

  • I attempted to import pics from iphoto to a folder on my desktop but somehow clicked desktop so 45,000 pics loaded, now computer freezes after trying to load everything.  possible to reverse this?  options?  restore hd from time machine?  pls help!!!

    long story short...i attempted to import pics from iphoto to a folder on my desktop but somehow clicked desktop so 45,000 pics loaded to my desktop and now my computer freezes up after trying to load everything, and i'm not able to just drag the photos into the folder.  is it possible to reverse this?  what are my options?  restore hd from time machine?  
    a further question to restoring my hd from a previous backup on time machine...it says it will erase the hd.  does it actually erase everything or does it just erase anything that may have been added or downloaded since that backup?  this is confusing to me.
    another problem which is part of the original problem is it seems that when i connect my iphone to my computer and iphoto uploads my pics...it doesn't just upload new ones, it duplicates and uploads every picture again...which is why i have 45,000 pics...they are 40,000 duplicates!  what's up with that? 
    I have a macbook pro, and recently updated the os to Yosemite.  the iphoto app is out of date, but i'll worry about that once i can figure out how to get all those pics off the desktop.  also, i recently purchased and installed 8g of new ram, but that hasn't seemed to help. 
    any advice would be appreciated! 
    thanks!!

    thanks for replying. 
    the booting and walking away and then attempting to browse and clean method is what i've been trying to do.  it won't let me drag and drop and just freezes up and goes to sleep after 2 minutes.  it's a never ending battle with very few results. which is why i questioned the method of just restoring the hd from a time machine backup.
    do you think restoring the hd from time machine will resolve the issue with all pics on the desktop?  and everything will be as it was from the date i restore it from?  sorry, as you can tell, i'm not overly computer savvy. 
    i have a really old desktop mac...i can try connecting the two...how does one boot a mac in 'target mode'? 
    as for the iphoto cleaning and organizing issue...that is what i was trying to accomplish with importing them to a folder.  was going to browse and clean from there...but somehow imported to desktop which is what's complicating everything.  once i get them off the desktop i can work on the iphoto issue...which as i mentioned...i didn't take 45,000 pics...i've just taken about 4,500 over the last few years, and they are being duplicated in iphoto.  this was my attempt to clean it out entirely and start over.  it will basically be a lot of deleting.
    one problem, seems to lead me to more...which is just my luck.  :-) 
    thanks again, for your help.

  • Imported pics are not saved

    I'm using iPhoto 11 version 9.15.
    Since a few weeks iPhoto is not saving my imported pics anymore. Each time I'm importing my pics from my iPhone or my SD card it seems to be ok. But after I restart iPhoto the next time all the pics are lost. And I have to import them again. Luck for me that I didn't delete them on the card or iPhone.
    I looked at the apple support page, but I couldn't find any software updates.
    Anyone an idea what the problem could be? I'm pretty new in the apple world, and don't have much experience in the mac system.
    Thx for your help
    Timo

    Damaged database file.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Previewing imported bitmaps for Illustrator CS4 using Windows XP

    Hi all
    Can anyone tell me if it is possible to preview a bitmap while importing it into Illustrator CS4 (File>Place). I am using Windows XP SP3 and I know you can see a preview on bitmaps with the Mac version.
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks
    George

    Some general comments (when I used CS3 and WinXp I did not have any problems, now I am on Win7 64bit Pro and CS5) 
    Check your WinXp configuration and eliminate (not remove, just stop from running at startup) anything you don't really need
    Background programs can cause problems for video editing
    The usual advice is to disable anti-virus (and, of course, don't connect to the Internet) to reduce the drain on resources
    Also do not have other programs YOU start running, so PPro has 100% of the computer's attention & resources
    Be sure you have a good device driver for your nVidia card
    This is usually the latest one (direct from nVidia, not Windows update) but you MAY need to experiment with driver versions in case a later version does not work well
    >HDV project where the bulk of the files are HDV from a Canon HV20
    CS5 is much better at allowing different kinds of files in a project, I'm not so sure about earlier versions
    If your final output is going to be DVD what MAY help is to do only the HDV part, save out to DV AVI Widescreen, then do the other codecs in a separate project, and finally join the DV AVI files in a final project
    CS4 is 32bit so will not take FULL advantage of Win7 and a 64bit computer... but if you have enough memory (I would say 12 or 16 Gig, depending on motherboard) that will allow CS4 to use as much ram as possible
    Just how do you have your drives configured?
    My 3 hard drives are configured as... (WD = Western Digital)
    1 - 320G WD Win7 64bit Pro and all program installs
    2 - 320G WD Win7 swap file and video project files
    3 - 1T WD all video files... input & output files
    Search Microsoft to find out how to redirect your Windows swap file

  • Importing pics from my device to my computer

    Hi Everyone,
    I have had my Tour 9630 for years and never had a problem importing pics until yesterday. I can see the pics I want to import on my phone but when I connect to the BlackBerry Desktop Software, they don't show up in the "Pictures" tab under "Media Sync" I get the following message, "There are no pictures to import from your device"
    Also, when I connect the USB cable from the phone to the Tour, I also get this message, "Do you want to turn on Mass Storage Mode? You might not be able to access some media files in this mode" This is the first time that I have seen this message.
    One last item, I went to Wal-Mart on Sunday (24 MAR) and using my micro card in their machine, printed one pic. This is where I believe my problem started because it seems the Desktop Software can read the micro card any more. Can anyone out there get me back to the point where I can import my pics again using the BlackBerry Desktop Software? Also, is there a USB type device out there that I can insert my micro card into and download my pics until I resolve this problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    1Lonewolf
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I can't tell you why the Desktop Software stopped working for you...I personally never use it for that purpose at all. Rather, I use Mass Storage Mode, which allows me to treat my BB as a USB drive (2 drives, if there is a media card in the BB) from my Windows computer...allowing me to drag/drop all files that I desire to/from the BB in any manner I choose.
    If you want to pursue that, refer:

    There are many types of USB SD card readers available for computers. Some are large devices, internally installed into the PC. Others are an adapter with a USB plug on one end, and an SD Card Slot on the other. And there are many variations in between. You should shop for a USB SD Card reader device and choose the one that best meets your needs for price and capability.
    Good luck!

  • Can't import pic's when I save my movie to an external drive

    Hi,
    When my Movie is saved to my Macintosh HD I can import pic's with no problem from iPhoto through the media pane in iMovie. Then when I save the movie file to my external HD (becasue these movie files get so big) I can't import pic's anymore. The import files dialogue box shows up, then the pic flashes in the timeline for a split second and then it disappears, or it will show up in the timeline as an all black image, but no pic. It must be something to do with my external HD, but what? Are movie files in iMovie usually saved to external drives with no problems, or is this a common occurence? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Dylan
    PS. I have the latest version of iMovie HD

    Hey Sue,
    Thanks for the reply. The external drive is formatted MS-DOS File System (FAT32). I had to do this because I had problems with it at first when I was using it interchangeably with a Mac and a PC. When it was Mac formatted it wouldn't be compatible with my PC for some reason (or I could read files, but couldn't write - something like that). Any suggestions?
    Thanks again,
    Dylan

  • Import pdf in illustrator

    We have a problem i cannot solve. One of the members of the company uses illustrator to import pdf files. Those pdf files are blueprints. After reinstalling his pc, he now has a issue with it. When importing pdf in illustrator, it makes the lines very thick compared to the original. All lines need to be manualy resized so it looks like the original again. Anyone know how that thickness is calculated and where it may go wrong?

    @Elwinh
    If you use Illustrator´s File > Open (to open the PDF) instead of placing the PDF (via File > Place) to an already opened document....Do you see such problem?

  • Lightroom 4 automatically applies presets to all imported pics - How to deactivate that?

    Hello
    When I'm importing pics in Lightroom 4 (no matter if RAW or JPEG files) all picture get automatically convertet into B/W and some grain etc. is added - I guess an preset (BW Nr 4) is applied automatically to EVERY pic I'm opening.
    How could I solve that problem?

    In the <Import Dialog> on the right side in the panel <Apply during Import> make sure that <None> is selected.
    If you only see the small Import Dialog you have to expand it to see <Apply during import> by clicking on the small triangle in the bottom left corner of the dialog box.

  • HT1349 Importing pics from my 4s.

    When attempting to import pics from my 4s into Windows Live Photo Gallery, I get the error message, "Cannot ssave this file due to problems with the pictures properties." And this message blinks constantly and is difficult to close.
    Any ideas on how to alleviate this problem? Thanks!

  • IPhoto won't import pics from either of two Canon cameras all of a sudden.

    I plug the Canon camera into the USB and attempt to import pics as have always done.  Currently have 18,000 pics so have done this lots before.  All of a sudden, the camera shows up on the left side of the screen, the pictures show up, but I can't get the IMPORT ALL or IMPORT SELECTED to activiate.  I disconnect the camera (appropriately) and try to exit out of iPhoto only to have a warning tell me to wait until Import is complete.  No photos ever show up and no import ever completes.  I can't force quit so have to hard quit and restart my computer.  What to do?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Importing pics

    I am trying to import pics from the iPhoto library folder to the iPhoto library or a new album. When I do, i get a dialog box that states "can not import, file already exists in iPhoto library folder". Ihave tried clicking and dragging with the same results. These are pics that I pulled from a video clip in iMovie and they have the .jpg suffix. The only way I found that works is to drag them from the library folder onto the desk top and then into the library. This seems to do something magical that allows the import. Problem is there are a hundred pics! I would like to select all and do them at once if at all possibe.
    Thank you

    Be very careful when mucking about in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Don't try to rename, move, or otherwise reorganize anything except for these pics that don't work.
    For items to get into the iPhoto Library, they must be imported by iPhoto. So to prevent this from happening again, if you create a new file or Save As when you edit a photo, save it to a folder outside of your iPhoto library, like in a folder on the desktop. Import into iPhoto, and then you can delete the desktop folder once iPhoto has put them in its library.
    You have found the way to fix the problem: the pics must be removed from the Library and imported properly. In Finder, use the Columns view. You will see a thumbnail of the picture, with info beneath, to help identify it. To select a contiguous range of files, click on the first and Shift-Click on the last. To select non-contiguous files, use Command-Click. Drag to a folder on the desktop.
