Making background transparent

I am trying to edit photos for a webpage that have a black or white background. they need to be transparent to resize them large enough without distorting image clarity. They are to be used in a catalog format that allows for 150 x 150, then 300 x 300, upwards to 600 x 600. What is a simple method?

There are three tool for erasering back ground.................

.png and making background transparent

Hello all; I'm new at this, so please bear with me. I have a
.png of a logo that someone created for me. The problem is that the
logo has a square white background behind it and I'd like to place
the logo on a background of a different color. My question is, how
would I eliminate the white background so I'd just have the logo?
The logo is pretty intricate, so I'm not sure that cutting around
the edges would work very well...
Thank you!

what is the png? fireworks png? if it is , you can change it
via accessing changing the canvas color to transparent, if not ,
you could use the magic wand tool and select the white background,
press delete. Then you change the color of the background

Making background transparent...no color ?

I want to move stills around & bring them into FCP ontop of video. In Motion what is the setting so that the background is transparent (no background color) in the resulting QT export movie. What is the setting/prefs for this ?
Regards...Ray
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

I can not bring the Motion file into FCP, it gives me an error message when I try and import it into FCP browser. Also, I still can't export my project out of Motion with a transparent background, I tried all of the above. 0% opacity background, None or animation option in codec export, I'm still getting a black ground with my Quicktime Export movie. In the View Menu of Motion I was able to set the Channel option to transparent, so I see a transparent background in the timeline of Motion, but it does not translate to a transparent background on export. Still perplexed on this one, still seem to be missing something here.
Thanks for further assistance with this.

Making background transparent while retaining fading effect

I need to turn this:
http://www.nholz.com/store/images/cibfOrig.png
into this (well, actually transparent background rather than green, but you get the idea):
http://www.nholz.com/store/images/cibfNew.png
Except without the horrible degrading of the edges of the text. Basically I need to keep the fading effect.
Unfortunately I am too ignorant about how Photoshop to know how to do this. Surely there is some way to replace all white with a proportionate amount of transparency:
i.e.
100% white / 0% black pixels
becomes
100% transparent
60% white / 40% black
becomes
60% transparent / 100% black
I hope that makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you have the time and can find it, I strongly recommend
b Channel Chops
by David Biedny, Bert Monroy, and Nathan Moody. It's out of print and doesn't address recent versions of Photoshop, but the basics are still relevant. I consider it one of the very best Photoshop books in existence.

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.

Making the background transparent for a .TIFF?

I have a file with vector shapes and placed bitmap images. I want to export as a .TIFF and have the background transparent. How do you make the background transparent in CS5.5?
Thanks.

As long as your file is not too huge you can also copy it and paste into Photoshop. I often find this quicker than exporting.
You can then save in whatever format you please.
This method also gives you the opportunity to copy/paste your Illy file in parts, thereby producing more layers in Photoshop and giving you the opportunity to add Photoshop layer effects.
Use corner rectangles to ensure registration between layers – just ask if you don't know how to do this.

Making spry menu background transparent

Hello
I have made a spry menu and made the background transparent.
Works in Safari and Firefox on my mac but on a pc (IE) it is white.
How can I change this? (I'm fairly new at this) Thanks

Hello DrJeff08
I'm happy to report that I did manage to solve my problem,
perhaps if we're lucky we'll solve yours too. (This is my first
website with Dreamweaver and first time using CSS). I went to my
CSS panel in order to view all the rules I'd created, opened up the
Spry CSS rules and methodically checked all of the properties for
each of the rules. The very last entry on that style sheet was one
that I didn't create, called ul.menuBarVertical li.MenuBarItemIE
(the "IE" that I see at the end of that name gave me a clue that it
relates to Internet Explorer) I noticed that the background was
white so I simply removed the white background. It must have been
automatically inserted as a default background color.
Hope it helps!

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.

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

Setting image background transparent

I want to know how can I set the background of an existing images to transparent. I am a web desginer and currently i want's to change background color of one of my site http://twxdroid.com but here the problem arises that some of my used images background won't match up site background, so someone plz tell me how to change existing image background transparent. I heard about using magic wand selection tool or quick selection tool to make transparent but still can't figure out how to use them.

• if the Layer is a Background Layer change it to a regular one by double-clicking it
• make a Selection with whatever Selection Tool is appropriate
• if you selected the background use Select > Inverse to invert the Selection
• Layer > Layer Mask > From Transparency
• if further corrections are needed paint on the Layer Mask – black to hide, white to show the Layer’s content
• save the layered file as psd, psb or tif
• File > Save for Web … to save a copy a format that fits your needs (png-24 for example)

How do I remove white jagged edges after making image transparent?

How do I remove white jagged edges after making image transparent? Is there a feature to help out with this?

It's a file format limitation. GIF supports 1 bit of transparency. That is 2^1 (which equals 2 total) levels of transparency. This equates to either NO transparency at all, or specifying 1 single color of the 256 total possible values to being fully transparent.
This will leave a very ugly fringe around the edge no matter what; it will only not be visible in color that match or are close to the fringe color; and then, that's a perception issue.
Try creating an alpha channel and saving the image as a PNG. That supports 8 bits of transparency, which equals 2^8 or 256 total different levels of transparency. This will let your image have very smooth edges with no jagged transitions.

How can I keep logo background transparent when flattening for web?

Hi, I have a logo designed in Illustrator which I'm bringing into Photoshop to save it for the web. It comes into Photoshop with a transparent background, but when I save it for the web or flatten it, it gets a white background. Can you tell me how to keep the background transparent?

File > save for web (& devices). That will give you the best and smallest web-ready graphics. With save as you're embedding all kinds of info that doesn't need to be in the image. File size can bloat ten-fold quickly. Use save for web.

Export and re-import in to project keeping background transparent.

Hi guys...
I have had some joy and some no so joy... maybe I am doing something wrong..
I have been using a smoke emmitter and "flattened" this and re-imported back into project to save ram or to duplicate the layer (for more smoke) and also again save ram. But sometimes the new import has a transparent background layer sometimes it is black. (Always I set all the other layers to not viewable) I have tried using keying to get rid of the black. But possibly there is a setting to keep any export/import back into project background transparent, if in a group above the bottom one. I am using QT animation setting for exports. DVC PRO HD 1080p
Thanks.
Cheers for all this great help... invaluable for neubie..

Set your background to transparent (press apple+J to open the window you need) as it may currently be set to "solid" and render the movie out using Animation, as this preset will support transparency. That should do it.

Title Background Transparency Doesn't Work

Hello,
I can't get the title background transparency to work. I'm running Premiere CS6 6.04. Clicking on the background button does nothing. Sometimes, I can randomly change the background settings to get it to become transparent, but that is not working now. Very frustrating.

This is me setting up a title. The cursor is on the spot on the timeline that has a red christmas background. Everything appears normal.
When I close this window, and move the title onto the timeline this happens. I haven't touched anything else (including the cursor location)

How to turn logo background transparent?

I need to change the logo background transparent so this logo integrates seamlessly on my website instead of looking like a big black box with a logo in it.
Is it possible to remove the black background from every where except behind the lettering?
Here is another similar variation:
I dont mind the white letters, but I would want the green glow to be more apparent like the 1st one.
Ideas?

Is this the look you're going for?
A sample layered psd file with your logo (as pixels; I didn't take the time to redraw it) and Outer Glow layer style, along with several test backgrounds, and the logo itself saved as a .png with transparency can be found here:
