No /Transparent Background on slideshow PSE 7

On PSE7 Can you create a slideshow and have a transparent background? Instead of having to choose a color? So you can superimpose the slideshow on to something else?

This happens with all Jpegs but haven't tried other formats. Will try others to see what it does.!!

Want to create an oval vignette in photoshop elements 10 with transparent background for printing w

I am fairly new to PSE and I want to create an oval vignette in Photoshop Elements 10 with transparent background for printing on white paper using MS Publisher. Using the white background on inverse selection makes a slight line impression and either it should have a defined "frame" or nothing.
Appreciate any guidance.

Try with the Elliptical marquee tool:
On the tool's option bar set feather 25-40 px (experiment)
Drag out the Ellipse to embrace the object
Go to Layer>new>layer via copy, or CTRL+J
Your selection should fade out as a vignette and be surrounded by transparency
Save this layer via File>save for web, select PNG-24, and tick "Transparency"

Combining 100 pngs with transparent background, vertically into one image PSE9

As the question suggests,
In PSE9 is it possible to combine 100+ PNG files (with identical dimensions & transparent background) into a single PNG file where the images are stacked vertically? and without trimming/cropping the transparent part of the image! I want to retain the exact original image dimensions so that they all stack neatly and precisely.
So far what I've tried is opening up the 100 PNG files in PSE9, create a new document with transparent background using the same width as the individual files and the height set to the individual file height multiplied by 100. (i.e. original image is 36 x 120 so the new file will be 36 x 12000) Then I get stuck! Whenever I drag a single file into the newly created document, it seems to be cropped to the image edges and no longer retains it's original height and width. Not to mention that hand dragging 100 files seems like a long-winded way of doing things... My automate button seems to be greyed out (so no contact sheet?) and I can't find any other automated process.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

Please compare the resoultion of the two documents too. And a better way of arranging the layers would be to use distribute option in the move tool. You can find more about the move tool at http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/moving-copying-selections.html#main-pars_h eading_0
Thus your workflow would be:
Create a new document with the required dimension.
Use File>Place to place all your png files on the created document as layers
Use distribute option in move tool
A still better workflow would be to use put all the files in a folder and write an ExtendScript to read the files and place them as layers on the document of said dimension

Can't get photo with transparent background to show up that way

I'm quite new to PSE (using ver. 6) so thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
I have a photo, and have made the background transparent, and saved it as a GIF file. When opened, it shows up with the checkered background. Good so far.
When I drag this photo from the Project Bin at the bottom (where I still see the checkerd background) into the image I'm working on, it shows up with a solid gray background once dropped into that image. So in essence, the background is no longer transparent.
How do I add this photo with the transparent background to the image I'm working on without a background / frame showing up? I've combed the internet and can't find an answer, and searching this forum, still coming up empty. I think the problem has to do with dragging it from the project bin. How else can I get it into the image I'm working on?
Thanks!
Kevin

In PSE 6, dragging up from the project bin creates a special kind of passthrough layer. Copy/paste, or drag it down from the gif's image window into the other file in the project bin instead.

Help! Transparent Backgrounds in Pics Keep Disappearing

I'm hoping someone out there can help me! I've used picture images with transparent backgrounds throughout my site. They work well except when I try using them in the photo layout template. When I initially add the photos they have the transparent background and I'm able to save and reopen with the transparency preserved. However, every time I shut down iWeb then reopen the file later a white background has been substituted for the transparency. It doesn't matter what file format I use (.png, .gif, .pdf....). If I open the original in Photoshop, transparency is still there. It's weird since it's only the images in the photo template not anywhere else on my site.
This is driving me insane. Has anyone else encountered this and can provide some guidance?
Much appreciated,
Dodge

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. iPhoto does not have to be closed to use it, just idle. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I need to make an exsisting logo have a transparent background

Good Morning
I have a logo (attached) which currently has a white background and I need to make it transparent for use on my web page. I have a manual but am finding it confusing. Would really appreciate an answer in simple terms as I am new to this.

First rename the Background layer to anything else; it is sufficient to double click the layer in the Layers Palette and acccept the default name "Layer 0". Then remove the background using various PSE tools. The background will be replaced by a checkerboard pattern indicating transparency.
Since your background is a solid color, you can use the Magic Wand to select it. In my example below I used the Magic Wand default options: Tolerance 32, Anti-aliased and Contiguous boxes checked. Holding down <Shift>, click in the white areas until all of it is selected (it took me 2 clicks), then <Delete>. This however may not select all of it. For purposes of example I added a red layer at the bottom. You can see that a few timy areas were not selected so you can manually remove these with the Eraser tool; zoom way in, choose a small hard Eraser brush size, and paint or click on the pixels.
In this logo it also works if you uncheck the Contiguous box and then one click in the white selects it all (except again for the few stray pixels). However, be careful doing this since the click might select areas within the logo. Here I unchecked the Contiguous box, set Tolerance to 60, and clicked on the white background; some white on the SHRUBBERIES letter were selected:
Anyway, once you have deleted the background save the file in a format that supports transparency. PSD, TIFF, PNG, PNG, GIF, EPS support transparency. JPG, BMP do not. For Web applications, you probably want GIF.
Note: the reason for renaming the Background layer is that areas deleted on this layer are replaced not by transparency but by the current color as defined in the background color swatch at the bottom of the toolbar.

Animated gif with transparent background

When I import in Keynote an animated gif with transparent background. The background becomes white. I did the following tests:
If I extract a single image from the animated gif and import it in keynote the background is actually transparent but it becomes white when I import the whole gif.
I also checked with other applications (NeoOffice) and the animated gif does come out with a transparent background.
Do I do something wrong in Keynote ?

This has been an ongoing issue for me since I switched from Powerpoint to Keynote. Most of the animated gifs with transparent backgrounds that I used with Powerpoint are no longer transparent in Keynote. You may want to search for those earlier threads on this topic...
To summarize: I've had to open up my animated gifs in After Effects and use the Color Key effect to restore transparency, with mixed success.
Good luck!

How to export animated gif with transparent background and glow effect?

I've been having issues lately with creating animated gifs in flash. I finally figured out a way to export a gif with a transparent background but I'm now having an issue with it again because I'm using a glow effect. When the gif is exported the glow effect changes into a very poor quality and becomes less of a glow and more like a solid color. I've even exported a png sequence from flash and put it into photoshop then created a gif from there but I'm still having the same issue. Is there anyway I can properly export this in gif form so the quality is the same as when I test it in flash?
I've provided an image of what my issue looks like and the settings (I've messed around with the settings and this is the best I can come up with) . This is in photoshop but the result is similar in flash. The left one is what it originally looks like and the right is what it will look like after exporting. As you can see as I said before the glow changes into more of a solid color kind of like a border. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

A GIF is limited to 256 colors while a glow effect likely wants to tie up thousands (let's just say 'lots') of variations of tone.

How do I import animated gifs into Premiere with a transparent background?

I have an animated gif that I got from the internet, and I'm trying to import it into Premiere Pro with a transparent background. The gif is of a video game character standing still and blinking. Whenever I import it, it always has a white background, so I need help on how to change that.
I've gone into Photoshop and removed the white background frame by frame, making it transparent. I do this by using the magic wand tool to select the white background, then hit "delete" to turn it into that diamond grid, which means it's transparent. I then select File -> Save for Web. I preview every frame, and it shows that the backgrounds are transparent. I save it as a gif. But when I import it into Premiere Pro, the white background is still there.
I've read many forums online about people trying to import images into Premiere Pro with a transparent background, but none of them have explained how to do it specifically for animated gifs. Every answer has always been "export the image as a png, that'll work", and sure enough, I exported a few frames of the gif as pngs, and those few frames had transparent backgrounds in Premiere Pro. But I don't want a png because those aren't animated sequences, those can only be still images. I need to export it as a gif so that it will remain animated, but gif files always have that dreaded white background in Premiere Pro.
I suppose I could export every frame as a png, import each of those frames into Premiere Pro, then string all the frames together and tweak them so they'll be functionally identical to the animated gif, but that would take forever. I'm making a video project and I need numerous animated gifs to work with, so I don't want to do that with every single one of them. I'm looking for a way to simply import the gifs into Premiere Pro and be done with it. If there is any way to do this, please help me.

faind on gif transparency and other cartoon animation problems : Adobe After Effects
" The reason: GIFs don't support alpha channels. Instead, their file structure assigns a certain color value to be read as totally transparent. There aren't any degrees of transparency as you find in graphics formats that do support alpha channels.
To use an animated gif in AE, you'd first have to create the areas of transparency, then convert the series of images into a graphics format that supports alpha channels, and there are a bunch: PICT, TIFF, TARGA or PNG, to name a few."

Creating animations with transparent backgrounds?

I'm running into some problems when using After Effects to create animations with transparent backgrounds for Keynote...
I use animated gifs and short quicktime movies with uniform backgrounds as source files, use color keying to take out the backgrounds, preview them to see if they look OK, render the results as RGB+alpha, and... they don't show up as transparent in Keynote. They work in Powerpoint, however. I've tried outputting as .mov, as .gif, as premultiplied vs straight alpha... no joy. Can someone explain (or point me to an explanation) of how Keynote differs from other programs in its handling of transparency? What am I missing?

Using a TYPE_INT_ARGB BufferedImage worked beautifully. I had played around with Image for hours, but it never occurred to me that BufferedImage would be needed. :)
many, many thanks,

How do I export a keynote slide to pdf with a transparent background?

I use Keynote for creating figures for a report I'm currently writing and layouting in Adobe InDesign.
Unfortunately I have run in to a quite annoying problem.
Because of the page-layout and background graphics in my main report, I need to be able to export the figures without the white background which comes as standard. I tried to remove the background in "Master & layout" (my Keynote is in Danish, not sure if it's called the same in English), which is suggested to bring background transparency when exporting to Quicktime movies. I doesn't seem to have any effect when exporting to pdf though.
When importing the pdf's into InDesign the figures comes up with a white background instead of the wanted transparent.
My choice of pdf over png is because of the vector graphics.
Is it possible to export to pdf's with a transparent background?

One option would be to export the slides as image files and bring them in Pages in that format.
From the top menu bar:
Share > Export > Images

How do I transfer a .psd file to illustrator that can then be placed in Muse as a .svg with transparent background?

I just wrote all this up in another thread. I did not realize at the time that the last post was in 2014, so I'm giving it a go here.
I am currently trying to create an .svg using Photoshop .psd file (with layers in tact). I'm new to these products so it may be obvious to others that the above intention was to eventually place the .svg in some sort of website creation software such as Muse. Which is precisely what I am attempting. However, I am getting a white background once I place or copy and paste into Muse. My starting .psd has a transparent background without any hidden layers causing this problem. To test this I placed the .psd file into Muse and it still has a transparent background. However when opening or placing this file into illustrator, it picks up a white background. If I do exactly as described above, I still get the same result. So far I have tried:
1) Simple copy and paste from Photoshop .svg to illustrator to Muse. Result - white background.
2) Placing the .psd in illustrator, then placing the .svg file in muse. Result - white background.
4) I have also tried the every combination of 1 and 2. - Result - white background.
3) I have now created a path in Photoshop from the text layer to yet again attempt the above methods. Result - white background.
I'm including an image of the object I am trying to place with transparent background, but I have both a flattened rasterized version, a version complete with layers and a third (.svg) with the corresponding objects. I am completely new to Illustrator as of today so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Link to .psd file "Welcome text"

I was having some difficulties getting the correct dimensions of one of my objects, I eventually solved this problem without using svg. It was pretty simple when I stopped trying to over complicate things. I just linked the object to a near by object in photoshop, merged and placed it all as one. It looks great now. Thanks for your reply. You are correct, SVG was not the answer.

Permanently removing part of an image from a transparent background png file

Hello, I think I know the answer to this question, but I wanted to double check. I am new to Photoshop and do not know all the functions. I have a png transparent background file of a tree with a lot of branches. I want to erase some of the branches so they are just permanently gone. I would like to use this image on different backgrounds so I am looking to just erase the branches all together. Is this possible? If not in Photoshop, perhaps another adobe program? Thank you!

If you want to permanently delete the branches then you can just erase them using the eraser tool. I would always suggest keeping the original file just in case something goes wrong and you want to start again. So just open the .png, save a new version and start erasing the branches you want.

I placed a psd file with transparent background on another layer in my InDesign document. The layer below has a color (RGB). When the psd file is placed it changes the color on the layer below. I've tried other psd files thinking something is wrong with my file, but get the same result. I have tried for days to figure this out. Can anyone help me?

Wow, thank you! That was fast. I googled that question to death and even bought (another) book on CS5 and never saw that answer. Thank you so much. You made a very good ending to my day! I'd buy you a beer if I could!!
