Make table background transparent

i am new to dreamweaver and new to website creating , this is an easy question but i just cant work it out...
i have a background picture then i have a table with text, i want to change the background from a solid color to a near transparent look so the background image comes through a little bit.
i guess i click bg at the bottom of the screen. when i go to this the third bar seems like it changes the transparency (which is what I want) however i cant seem to get the change to stick
i change the state off the third slider that will change the 'alpha' but whenever i go back to this screen the slider is all the way to the top again

Tables are not typically used for layouts anymore (except for e-mails). That's the old school approach. Nowadays, we use CSS layouts like the start-up pages that come with DW.
Go to File > New > Blank page > HTML. Pick a layout from 3rd panel & hit Create.
Who is your target audience? Pre-IE9 users on older equipment or modern browsers/mobile/tablet users? Once you establish who your target audience is, that's who you need to build your sites for.
I haven't used PNG transparent images for backgrounds in quite a while. I don't feel I need to because all modern browsers and mobile devices can easily support RGBA colors or CSS gradients. See links below for examples.

Can I make image backgrounds transparent

Is there a way in AW drawings, to make it so that every thing WHITE in an image I make is actually transparent when used (pasted) OVER another background, like a web page?
In OLD AW, items saved as GIF would do this. AW 6 does not support gif I guess. A previous post I made, a reader said that the PNG format would be transparent. However, I was not able to make this work.
Suggestions?

AppleWorks doesn't handle transparency well, even using formats such as .gif or .png saved with transparent backgrounds in another application. However, a few years ago I accidentally discovered that if an object is flipped or rotated in AppleWorks, the background will become transparent. The object doesn't even have to be .gif or .png & have transparency. Unfortunately, the last few times I tried this, it no longer worked, but it may for you.
Once I discovered this, I used GraphicConverter to flip an image horizontally & save it as a PICT. Then I insert the object in my AppleWorks document & flip it back. I use PICT because it is the only graphic format that will retain the native resolution. All other graphic formats are changed to 72 dpi by AppleWorks.

How do I make a background transparent?

I'm a total newcomer to Photoshop - I'm learning to use it in school. For my current project, I have an image of a galaxy on a black background. I need to make it seem like the galaxy is in front of another object. So what I thought was:
- Make the black part of the galaxy transparent.
- Move the galaxy over the other object.
How do I do this? Is it even possible?

Grant offers valid advice if you are still in the early stages of your acquaintance with Photoshop.
Are the stars basically white or do they appear colorful?
If white I suppose the »easiest« way would be to
• load the transparency by command-clicking the compopsite channel in the Channels Panel
• Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color and select white in the Color Picker
• add a black Solid Color Layer behind that as background to hide the original image and insert your other image between the two Solid Color Layers (File > Place or drag it from the Layers Panel onto the canvas).
But likely the image will be more complex than that.
Still you could start by
• loading the channel with the best contrast as a Selection by command clicking it in the Channels Panel
• apply that as a Layer Mask to the image (if it is a Background Layer just double-click it)
• alt-click the Layer Mask in the Channels Panel to view the Mask alone
• invoke Image > Adjustmenst > Curves or Levels and use that dialog to increase the contrast so that the non-galaxy-parts are black
• insert the other image below that
This may when superimposed on the new image have grayish, dark edges, though.
To adress that you could try using the Refine Edge-dialog Decontaminate feature or paint on a separate Clipping Masked Layer.
Other options might be to
• set the Layer itself to Blend Mode Screen or
• set a duplicate below the Layer to Blend Mode Screen and mask the higher one tighter
But unless you post the two images in question (or lores thereof) it’s pretty much impossible to say what the best course of action might be.

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.

Is there a way to make the background transparent ..

... so that i can import the rendered movie into keynote and not have black visible?
Project: I have photographs that need to dissolve into each other and play like a movie. The photos are not all the same shape (horizontal, vertical and square) so that when I bring them into FCP, of course to accommodate the various shapes there is space around them, which is black.
I want to export the movie to play in a Keynote presentation but i want the slide background to be visible as the photos transform from horizontal ones to the vertical ones. How can I do this?
In Livetype, when i render a movie I can tell it not to render the background, then I get a transparent effect to import into FCP or Keynote. but I don't think I can dissolve photos into each other without putting them on separate layers and adjusting opacity ... not time efficient for me, especially with over 100 photos to work with in all.
I suppose if push comes to shove i can export the slide background to FCp and just layer it under the photos, but I was hoping to try the transparency route. (would it mean making a mask for each photo?)
Any advice would be helpful, thank you
Elizabeth

I followed your instructions last night and made a little trial movie, imported into Keynote, and it's just what I wanted! Perfection!
Thank you very much.

Make white background transparent

This Q must be very old. Why can´t someone invent a sigle button for this I have tried all the things by the book but still when I try to lay text image with white background over an image the white is still there althoug I made it transparent. tried to sa for web as png-8, png-24 and gif. nothing works. To use magic wand gives bad result when applied to text? So what can I do? I am trying to place text over image. I know I could write it over the image but I need the text as a transparent layer some place else.
thanks

Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object
Place the object on its own layer - Layer menu>new>layer via copy or CTRL+J
Place a blank layer between the background layer and the layer with the object, then place your new background on this blank layer.
You should have 3 layers: Background layer that you started with, the blank layer with substitute background, layer with object at top.
Here I selected the swan
Placed a blank layer below the layer with the swan
Filled this layer with a gradient for demonstration.

How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?

Hello Forum.
How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?
I have been having issues with using the Magic Wand tool in Adobe Illustrator as well as the lasso tool.
Basically, I am trying to put a small graphic into a new Illustrator file.
The first thing I tried to do is to use the magic wand tool. But I found out that this did not work on a jpeg image since it did not have any individual objects to select.
So I tried something new. I opened the file in Adobe Photoshop and used the lasso tool to select an area. Then I coped this area. Then I tried to paste it into Adobe Illustrator. But the background was not transparent for the pasted image.

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.

I was having the same problem with a Tree Component. Just

tabs.menuContent is the path to my Tree, or your List
var mc = tabs.menuContent;
_global.styles.ScrollSelectList.backgroundColor = undefined;
mx.controls.listclasses.SelectableRow.prototype.drawRowFill
= function(mc:MovieClip, newClr:Number):Void {
mc.clear();
if (newClr == undefined) {
mc.beginFill(0xABCDEF, 0);
} else {
mc.beginFill(newClr);
mc.drawRect(1, 0, this.__width, this.__height);
mc.endFill();
mc._width = this.__width;
mc._height = this.__height;
tabs.menuContent.border_mc._alpha = 0;

Can we make a video one color background transparent

I am capturing video from Camtasia and would like to make the background transparent, so I could do a quick change for the client.

I have a question which is related to what's been discussed in this thread. Say I want to enhance a datasource (e.g. 0CS_OM_OPA_1) to include data at a finer granularity (e.g. notifications instead of orders). Can this be done by modifying the extract structure and a user exit? Why I'm asking is because records would have to be duplicated. As I'm not an ABAP programmer, I'm interested in knowing whether or not this is possible before I dig any deeper and possibly waist a lot of time for nothing.
Thanks in advance,
Markus

How to make opaque white transparent?

I have a JPEB, black words, hand lettered, on white.
When I place it into an InDesign doc, on a solid color, the white background, being opaque, covers the solid color.
How do I make that opaque white into a transparent background? Two manuals do not give me a clue.
Thanks.

No.. Photoshop transparency is automatically seen in Indesign for .psd files. All you need to make the background transparent in Photoshop.

Background Transparency?

Hi all,
I'm working on a game project just now and I'm trying to get
thought bubbles come out of characters' heads. I could do this via
code and drawing a circle at runtime, but I want to be able to
'tart it up' by creating proper nice bubbles using the normal
drawing tools in flash.
The problem I'm having though is that the stage is always
rectangular and I can't see how to make the background transparent.
Meaning that when I load my thoughtBubbles.swf into my main
movie clips, it comes in with ugly white corners and the whole
thing just looks daft!
Can anyone help me here? Surely this problem has to have been
solved a million times?
Cheers,
David

Making the background transparent in export from cinema 4d to AE CC

I'm using Cinema 4D to create a 3d object and then import it into AE CC. When I import it in, the grey grid in the background is visible. I want to make the background transparent, so that all you can see is the object in AE. How can I do this?

This is not a matter of transparency. You are seeing what you are seeing because you are looking at the draft software rendering result.
Choose Standard (Final) from the Renderer menu in the Cineware effect.
