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 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 widget background transparent for use in a DPS article

Hello all
Am trying to make the background of a widget totally transparent. Is this possible.
I created an accordion widget in Muse, exported the page to HTML and then loaded that file into a web content overlay frame (thanks Bob for your assistance).
I made the background of both the accordion header and body copy no fill (along with the stroke).
But when loaded the HTML file into Indesign, I'm left with a white background.
Have searched the net for a solution, with an joy.
Anyone come across this problem/issue??
Thanks as ever.

Where is the background picture for a window stored?

Greetings,
Where is the background picture for a window stored? What is the file called? I am trying to find the image used on a DVD.
Thanks

when you set a picture to be a background of some folder that picture is not moved from its original location. instead a record is made in the .DS_Store file of that folder indicating that this picture is the one to be used for the background. in case of the DVD it is likely sitting in some hidden folder right on the DVD.
run the following terminal command to enable showing hidden files in finder
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1; killall Finder
then look on the dvd and the picture should be there somewhere. if you still can't find it open the .DS_store file of the folder in question using Text Editor. a lot of this file will be unreadable but the picture path will be present in plain text.
when done rerun the above command after changing 1 to 0.

So when I embed a flex app on a web page the background should automatically be the same as the surrounding html web page.
If yes: How do I specify transparency?

Assign a server group as the background server for a process chain

Dear Experts,
Can I assign a server group as the background server for a process chain?
Even I assign a server group as the background server for a process chain by following T-cd: RSPC > W click a process chain > (Menu) Process Chain > Attributes > Background server and save & activate the process chain, no entry was saved in the column in RSPCCHAINATTR-SERVER with OBJVERS = "A".
Moreover, it seems that there is no process type for a process chain as a whole in T-cd: RSBATCH, so I assume that I may not be able to assign a server group to a process chain as a whole...
I know I can assign a server group as the background server for each process in a process chain.
Many thanks for your suggestions.

On many UNIX systems there's a utility called detach which will launch the following command in such a manner that killing the shell will not kill the process. On systems that lack this command, I'd find an open source implementation and install it.

Can I turn off the background task for HERE Drive+...

Hello,
I have installed on my new Lumia 1020 the application HERE Drive+ and I have noticed that it starts up a background task. Since I'm not using HERE Drive+ on a daily basis I think I could save some battery if I turn off this background task and it is started automatically only when I'm using Drive+ application. Can I do that?
I went to Settings->Applications->Background tasks and tried to block HERE Drive+. So far so good but when I tried to set to ON (checked) the option "Turn background tasks back on for this app the next time I open it", HERE Drive+ application was automatically unblocked. Is this normal?
I want to know if I can stop the background task for HERE Drive+ and have it automatically started up when I open HERE Drive+ application.
Thank you.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

It may be something I missunderstand. So if I go to Settings->Application->Background tasks and tap the button "Advanced" I see a list with many applications, and among them there is HERE Drive+. Above this list it is written "These apps can run in the background, and you may not be able to block all of them".
Does this just means that HERE Drive+ application is allowed to run in the background? Do I see in this window the list of all background tasks currently running or it is just a list with the application that could run in background?
Right now I don't have any application running. If I keep pressing on back button the app card list is empty.
Thank you.

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.

How to make the stage transparent for SWF file being used in Dreamweaver

I have a SWF file in my Dreamweaver site, that plays correctly. The problem is that the stage is white and we would like it to be transparent. Searching the archives the following advice was given:
in your html embedding code you need to set the wmode parameter to be "transparent"
I'm wondering if this is the code in Dreamweaver or is this done in Flash. I'm working with CS5. Below is the code that matches the SWF file in Dreamweaver. I did change the wmode value from "opaque" to "transparent" and it didn't work.
Thanks for any assistance.

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="650" height="400" id="FlashID" title="Convergence Gathering Title">
             <param name="movie" value="Flash/gold_dust_title.swf" />
             <param name="quality" value="high" />
             <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />

               <div>
                 <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>

             </object>
             
           </object>

Yes, change this to "transparent" in ALL the places where wmode is shown
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
Second, be sure that there is in fact nothing covering the entire stage, like a big white rectangle.
Also, what is directly behind the .swf once it's on the Web page? If the background color of that page or the <div> that the .swf is in is white..... well then then .swf can have a transparent background but then the white from the Web page just shows thru.... so there's still a white background.
Be sure there is a non-white background on the Web page...
Window Mode (wmode) - What's It For?
There are three window modes.
Window
Opaque
Transparent
By default, the Flash Player gets its own hWnd in Windows. This means that the Flash movie actually exists in a display instance within Windows that lives above the core browser display window. So though it appears to be in the browser window, technically, it isn't. It is most efficient for Flash to draw this way and this is the fastest, most efficient rendering mode. However, it is drawing independently of the browser's HTML rendering surface. This is why this default mode (which is equivalent to wmode="window") doesn't allow proper compositing with DHTML layers. This is why your JavaScripted drop-down menus will drop behind your Flash movie.
In windowless modes (like opaque), Flash Player doesn't have a hWnd. This means that the browser tells the Flash Player when and where to draw onto the browser's own rendering surface. The Flash movie is no longer being rendered on a higher level if you will. It's right there in the page with the rest of the page elements. The Flash buffer is simply drawn into whatever rectangle the browser says, with any Flash stage space not occupied by objects receiving the movie's background color.

Making Image Backgrounds Transparent

Hi,
I have a gradient background, but I want to add some images
on top of it. The problem is that they have white backgrounds and
(obviously) look out of place against my gradient background.
What I want is to have the gradient under the image, so I
want the background on the imported images to be transparent.
Is there any way I can alter this to make the image
transparent so it fits seemlessly with my design.
Thanks in Advance

I just got through doing this, so I can help!
Copy the image you want to import to the clipboard and paste
it into your
work file. Then select the magic wand tool (it's in the
Bitmap toolbox
next to the marquee and lasso tool) and click anywhere on the
white
background of the image you just pasted. It'll magically
select the
background around the object. Press delete key. Voila.
if your object has "holes" in it, repeat the process for the
holes. If
you have a complex object with lots of holes, instead of
hitting delete
in the above step, instead choose from the menu Select >
Select similar,
then hit delete.

How to export with the background transparent.

Hi guys..
Usually I use primatte in motion... but Ive got a need for a feathered edge and fcp chromokey is better this time. Sometimes I put a solid colour on the lower layer and send this out, then primatte this again. How can I avoid this step and send out as image sequence tagas to motion, which supports transparent layer. Where is the background setting on fcp and can it be set to transparent?
This setting in motion is in preferences, but cant seem to find it in fcp.
I have also tried sending this keyed clip to motion... but it always crashes... with Pro media issues.... so trying to get around this.

Ive been trying too export as animation....
but I just keep getting the pro media crash... and fcp bombs out... maybe there is something wrong with the sequence, I originally imported. I will try again with ahnother problem, with another set of clips, and see if I can get it to work then... Tanks anyway. Maybe I have more than 1 problem here.

I have trouble reading in Black and White. changing the background color for all

I have trouble reading in Black and White. On my PC I can change the background color (and I am not just talking about for a word or pages document) but for eveything so anything that was a white background I can put in what ever color I like but it still prints in Black and white.. I can't see how to do this on the Macbook air. on my PC I do this in display. Sort of putting colored film over the screen I dont know what to do. Can anyone help?

Hello Floridamacbookpro,
You may be interested in the 'invert colors' Accessibility feature. This can be invoked by pressing the Control, Option, Command, and 8 keys on your keyboard. This only affects your display, and does not have any affect on printed items.
Mac OS X displays inverted image colors (white on black, reverse type)

An applescript to change the background color for all finder windows

I'll start off by telling you what I am trying to achieve, then show you what I've tried.
I have a macbook with several HDD's attached. what I want is for each of those hdd to have a specific finder window background color. so no matter where I am in that hdd the background color will always be the same. so for instance if I set the background color of hdd 2 to blue then as long as I see a blue background I know that I'm within hdd 2.
I've tried setting up an applescript to do this but can only get it to change the open finder window, and none of the subfolders have their backgrounds changed.
here is what I have so far:
tell application "Finder"
tell the icon view options of the front Finder window
set the background color to {52942, 54484, 31097}
end tell
end tell
so how do I get this to apply to all subfolders without opening each one and running the script.
thanks in advance for any and all help with this

According to this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AppleScript/2.1/en/as2039.html
it seems that the various options can only be set while the window is open and in icon view.
Rather than manually opening the window of every single folder on the hard drive, it should be possible to write a script to open every folder in sequence, make sure it is in icon view, change its background, then close its window. I have never been any good at the "actions within actions" procedure needed for folders within folders, so maybe someone else with the necessary knowledge and experience might be able to assist in this regard. Such a script would probably take a few minutes to complete while it ran through "every folder of every folder", but it sure would be quicker to have the process automated than to do it by hand - computers are really good at repetitive tasks (as long as the instructions are accurate, of course!).
On the other hand, you might like to try the following:
open a few windows in icon view, choose Show View Options in the View menu (I'm in System 10.4), click the radio button All Windows, click the Color radio button under Background, then choose your color. It might achieve what you are trying to do.

HT5362 How do I turn off notifications for Software Updates? 'App Store' doesn't show in the list of notification apps. I want the background checks for updates, just not the notifications.

How do I turn off notifications for Software Updates?
In the 'Notifications' section of the 'System Preferences' app, there is no tab for managing the notifications of System Updates nor App Store.
Hey--- I like auto-checking for updates, and hey--- I like auto-downloading them in the background.
BUT I do not like being notified of updates in the middle of working! Especially when it's iTunes updates. Grrrr.
Any chance this is easy and I just missed it?
