Make a photo fade to transparency?

Hi, just wondering if it's possible to fade a photo (not a box of colour) to transparency in Illustrator? I am familiar with how to do it in InDesign and Photoshop - but not knowing how to do it in Illustrator.
Every online tut I have found just explains how to fade "a colour" - versus an actual photo place in an illustrator document.
Any insight?
Thank you,
Chemol

Thanks a bundle! I was attempting it that way before, but for some reason it
didn¹t turn out properly I appreciate your insight!
Happy Turkey day

How do you make a photo have a transparent background

I have a photo of a fire truck outside of the fire department. I want to remove the background and select only the truck itself. I then want to be able to have it transparent when I put the picture on a scrapbook page. I do not want a white box background. What steps are needed to accomplish this. I currently have Photoshop Elements 6. Thanks!
Teresa

Use one of the selection tools. lasso tool for example, to select the truck
Go to Edit>copy. This puts it on the computer's clipboard
Open the scapbook background
Go to Edit paste. The truck should be on a separate layer
Access the move tool, position the truck.
You can resize using the corner handles of the bounding box while holding down the shift key

How do I make a photo a transparent photo in photoshop

Try this:
- go to the 'Opacity' slider on the Layer panel and slide it to the left until the picture has the transparency level you wish to see.
- SAVE AS your picture (change the 'Type' to a Portable Network Graphic .PNG).
.PNG file types preserve the transparency level of your photos.
Hope this helps!

Shadow/Gradient Fade to Transparent Effect

Hello. I am using PS CS3 on MAC and I am trying to create the inner shadow gradient fade to transparent show in the sidebar of this webpage: http://kinoma.com/about/
First, I create a rectangle with linear gradient fill that fades to transparent. Then I create an inner shadow on the left of the sidebar. I'm stuck on what to do next. How do I fade the entire sidebar to transparent on different sides? Thanks.

Black to transparent gradient from left to right (then reduce opacity), then make a layer mask and make a gradient from top to bottom that's black to white to black.

Can you make the background fade in?

I know you can do slide transition> Fade In, but that includes all objects. I can select individual objects and make them fade in as well.
Is there a way to make the background fade ONLY.

The background IS transparent, or, to look at another way, there is no background unless you create one. If you go to View>Show Transparency Grid, it's easier to see a what has a white fill or stroke and what does not.

Fade To Transparent Edge On Web Image

Hi,
We've got a website with an image that we'd like to fade cleanly into the background image. The current swing at this is: http://jchmusic.com
I'm -relatively- happy with it BUT the left and right margins above the tree should fade more cleanly into the green at the top (above the tree). Any suggestions on doing this? I did try using the Gradient Tool to fade to transparent it just isn't 'random' enough. ie. it always seems to create some sort of 'shape' when I do it rather than just being a smooth 'dodge' (if that's the right term.)
ALSO: There is the issue of -size-. I want the img to be as small as possible. I tried rendering it as a GIF and here is the result: http://jchmusic.com/index-gif.php
The pixellation actually looks kinda cool to us, but then we run into the problem of various parts near the left edge having transparent 'pinholes' where we don't want them.
Your thoughts?
TIA,
---JC

Aha! Photoshop excels at doing things with brushes. There's a whole realm of brush stuff you'll want to get to know.
Activate the Eraser tool in the Tools panel.
Up at the top of the Photoshop main window look for Mode and set it to Brush if it's not already set.
There will be a brush selector. Click it and select a round brush, and make the Hardness 0% (i.e., fuzzy).
With this brush selected, you can erase things and leave them with varying opacity.
Another approach would be to add a layer mask to the layer with the image, then paint on the layer mask with the brush tool and a fuzzy brush. This has the advantage of your being able to adjust opacity either way, by painting black, gray, or white.
And then there's Airbrush mode...
Yep, you'll definitely want to learn about brushes.

I am using photos . I add a camera and make my photos slide in. How do I add a second behavior to the photo to make it slide out. I want the photo to hold on the screen for a few seconds in between sliding in and sliding out.

I am using photos in Motion 5. I add a camera and make my photo slide in. How do i add a second behavior to the photo to make it slide out? I want the photo to hold for a few seconds in between sliding in and sliding out. When I am trying to do this I am not getting the photo to hold, i am making one continuous motion which I do not want.
Thanks

Are you using the "motion path" behavior? If so just duplicate it and drag it down the timeline to where you want it to start. Trim it to end at the end of the project. The gap you leave in the timeline between the two behaviors is your hold time. Not sure why you are using a camera unless you have a behavior on the camera.If you are using keyframes just set two keyframes at the same position values in the inspector for the hold time.

CORRECTING YOUR IMAGES WITH AUTO ADJUSTMENTS
Photoshop has a lot of ways to help make your photos look their best. But as a beginner you don't have to get caught up in terms like levels, curves, or histograms. Just start with Automatic Adjustments. It gives you a great way to get your images looking really good, and you can build from there.

Hi Guys for making your picture brighter there are several adjustments which you have to make , i'll give you a walkthrough step by step. make sure all adjustments depends on your choice and satisfaction.
1. : Adjust the Levels slightly - Not much otherwise it will increase high tones in the picture. Shortcur [Ctrl + L], play with last slider in that window.
2. Adjust the curve to balcnce the tones whose values are now increased. Shortcut (Ctrl + M)
3. Adjust brightness in image Menu, make sure while adjusting brightness you take care of Contrast and Sharpness just to make picture lively not flat.
That's the major things you have to take care of, apart from this there are multiple ways which depends on user.
In case of any issue please reply or message me.

Is there a way to view earlier messages in a thread without going through each day? Also, can you make a photo album from the same text thread without going back to the beginning?

How to make a photo STAY in the assets panel for future use for In browser editing?

How to make a photo STAY in the assets panel for future use for In browser editing?
When I delete a photo from a page, it does not stay in the assets panel. My client uses in browser editing daily. Once a week he changes a photo just for a day, then needs the previous photo to replace it. The original photo is not in the asset panel (or folder) for him to choose.
When you upload a photo, it has an arrow in the asset panel. How do you use this as an asset?

Sure ... right mouse click on your page and choose 'Exclude Page from Menus' :-)

Looking for a way to make a photo less than 100kb

I have all the 'considered best' photo apps for my Ipad3. I've read every manual, looked on the net, downloaded any trial photo sizer app I can find and have spent hours trying to do what I believe should be a no brainier but have not found a resolution to a simple problem.
I'm trying to find a way to make a photo a specific MB size. I post on a bulletin board that has a restriction of 100MB upload. There is a great app for Mac but ways to make a photo a specific file size doesn't seem to be available for the Ipad. After hours of searching I'm at a loss as to why there aren't any apps to do this.
A simple app with a slider or other that will give you the MB size as you move it would be great. Every app has a plethora of options and they still can't even do that.
Any suggestions?
Dan

Thanks sberman
That will work taking a few steps although I would think it's a last resort with fair results. Thanks again. While waiting for a response I decided to bite the bullet and purchase an app that looked promising. ( Don't like to purchase as I've purchased a number of .99 apps and wasted money )
So, I purchased this app called 'Resizer' not knowing if it would do the trick. It did! I even got a bonus as the app lets you upload to a photo site. From there it's a simple paste the link and I'm done. The app appears to have been made for the purpose of posting photos to BB's which is what I'm doing.
I was trying to get as close to the max size as I could as they have a weekly 'photo day' and wanted the best quality. That app did it.
Thanks again for the suggestion.

In iOS 4, you could make separate photo slide shows with separate songs.
In iOS 5, this has changed. Now only 1 song is allowed at a time. It will not save separate song selections for each slide show.
Is there any way to fix this? This is something I use every day.
I am on an iPad 2, 32gb, wifi...
Thank you

My Photos app works the same on iOS 5 as it did on iOS 4 i.e. I can have a different track for each album. When I select a track for a photo album I then start the slideshow so that it shows the first couple of photos with the track playing - I'm not sure it's necessary to start the slideshow but I always do and it remembers that track for that album.

In the past I was using Photoshop 7 to make Web Photo Gallery. My friend could right click on the pictures from my website and save it in their computer.
Recently I have bought and registered your Lightroom 5 and have updated it to 5.6. But can not program it to create Photo Web Galleries that after uploading to my website would allow my friends to down load the pictures from the album to their computer. How could I do it?

How to make a photo like this? (footballer)

Dear All,
I am enclosing a photo that I found in the Internet. This is a footballer photo.
May I know how I can make a photo like this in terms of color and texture in Photoshop? Many thanks!
Best regards,
Keith

What you'll want to do is pick a photo with something like a person or an animal in the foreground. Then, use the Lasso tool to trace around the outside. Separate the person and the background into two or more layers, depending on how much you want to change. Up the saturation on the background, and apply a blur under the filter menu. It might just be the angle the photo was taken from, but they could have possibly added a light effect behind him as well. As for the guy, it looks like they upped the contrast and lowered brightness. Since i don't know from what angle the photo was taken, those are the only effects I can say were most likely used.
Hope this helps,
Cole

I am using Aperture to make a photo book. I have about 400 photos in the project that I am selecting from. I want to use about 70 for the book. I am allowed to pick and choose photos until I fill 20 pages. Then when I select add page, I am allowed to select all the pictures in the project. I am not allowed to select. I think I hve to change a setting, bt what? Thanks for the help.

. I am not allowed to select. I think I hve to change a setting, bt what?
David, have you enabled the "Autoflow" options? There are settings behind the cogwheel, that will automatically place unused images onto new pages. If you only want to select a few images from a large project, disable these two options:
Or start your book froman album, that only contains a selection of your images, rather than from the whole project.
