Photoshop 5.0 Transparency Question

Using CS3, I can use the magic wand to select portions of an image and delete them so they will be transparent. But I can't, for the life of me, figure out or find out how to do it in 5.0. Actually, I managed to select the portion I wanted to appear, and move it into a new file with a transparent background, checked the box in the Layers Palette to preserve transparency, and saved the file. I want to be able to insert the image into a Publisher newsletter. But when I tried to insert it, the file didn't even appear in the Open File window because it was a Photoshop .psd file. I had also saved it is a .jpg file, but the transparency didn't hold when I inserted it and then his Print Preview. Any ideas? Thanks! I'm really under the gun.

Or the Mode for the Brush Tool was accidently set to Clear.

Problem with PDF 1.3-Export: Photoshop-Files with transparency over InDesign colored objects

Hello!
I'm using InDesign CS6.
I'v finished now a layout for a folder, and I put a photoshop-image with transparency over a InDesign-rectangle which I have filled with a cmyk-color in yellow.
When I export a PDF with the Settings "PDF X-3:2002" (with PDF-Standard 1.3) the Photoshop-image shows uggley jagged edges at the border to the InDesign-colored background. However, the Photoshop-images which are over another bitmap-image (as background), this images don't show this annoying edges.
When I export to PDF-Standard 1.4 the problem doesn't occor, however my printing-service requests PDF 1.3.
I know, the workaround for this problem is, to replace the yellow background-color with an bitmap-file with the same color, but is there any other option to get a correct result without this more time-consuming image trick?
I think it has to do with the transparency reduction which is necessary if using PDF 1.3. When I examine the PDF-File in Illustrator, this edges occurs mostly at the borders from the tiles in which the image is cut during the transparency reduction process. Although, if I open the rendered PDF in Photoshop this jagged edeges are visible, so it is definitly a render error.
I would be glad if someone of you has a solution for this problem, in the attachment is an image which illustrate the problem.
Best wishes

Find another printer.
End of problem. It really saddens me to think that these Luddites are
still in business making no effort to move into the 21st century.

A transparent question mark on iTunes icon in dock/ iTunes won't open

Thanks for reading this and helping me--I have an iMac and a transparent question mark is in the middle of iTunes symbol in my dock. iTunes will not open at all when I try to open and there are no error messages.
Thanks

Open your Applications folder and locate iTunes. Drag it's icon to the doc. Drag the other icon out of the dock and it will disappear.
If you can't locate iTunes in your applications folder, download a fresh copy here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

My iphoto has a transparent question mark over it and will not open. How do I fix this?

My iphoto on my imac will not open. It has a transparent question mark over it...how do I fix it?

Is the question mark on the Dock at the bottom of your screen? Then it means that the Dock can't find the application.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

Photoshop Elements 10 Installation Question

How can I tell if my software installed properly? The software came with three discs, and it only installed the first disc. I am new to Photoshop, and do not know if my software installed properly? Can anyone help?

Gautham K,
Thank you for your quick replies. I have checked,and my OS is indeed 64 bit. I have been using the 32 bit version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, since I installed it last evening. I have a few quick questions;
Will I loose any functionality if I stay with the 32 bit version versus un-installing and installing the 64 bit version from disc 2?
If I decide to un-install, and re-install from disc 2, will there be any software registration issues (as I have already registered the software)?
Thanks again for all of your help.
Jim

Photoshop images with transparent background

Hello all! I've searched for this topic in previous threads, but was unsuccessful. Therefore I'll ask the question again:
If I create a Photoshop image with a transparent background, why does it import into iWeb with a WHITE background? Is there a setting in iWeb where I can drag and drop images and not have a white background on the image? Thanks so much in advance!

Hi There,
The most likely candidate here is that the file format you're using doesn't support transparency. Try saving the Photoshop file in a different format such as PNG or GIF which support transparency.
Hope this helps

Transparency question

I have a small image of a TV that is square but has a white edge.
I have used it in Photoshop and the edges that are white, that aren't part of the TV image was transparent. When I try to use the same image in Illustrator its white, and I want it to be transparent, not to have a white box with a TV floating in it.
I cannot figure out how to erase the edge or to make the white outside of the box transparent. Everything I try effects the entire image, and erasing doesn't work.
I know this should be so basic but I am at a loss. I am only so-so experienced with Illustrator.
Its Illustrator CS, running on a MacBook Pro, under 10.5.4.
Thanks

Hello tpearson,
No problem, this forum is for all type of questions.
What do you want to do is a "Mask":
Place the TV Image.
Take the "Rectangle Tool" and make a square or rectangle shape on top of the TV Image.
Cover everything on the TV Image you want to see.
Select both items (TV Images & the new Shape) and select from Main Menu: "Object" + "Clipping Mask" + "Make".
I am not sure if CS groups the items after that, but you may want to group them (so when you move one, the other follow) Main Menu: "Object" + "Group"
And you can try any shape you want to create a Mask.
I hope this helps!

Why can I no longer find my iphotos? Updated from 10.6 to 10.8.2 recently... The iphoto logo in my dock has been replaced with a transparent, grey, question mark... why? How do I restore my iphotos? Searched for them in Finder, and in "search"... they appear as text only.. but no photos.. please help.. Mark

Have you verified that the iPhoto applications is not in the Applications folder or somewhere else on the hard drive?
To do so download and use Find Any File to search for "iPhoto.app" because FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't. If the application is somewhere else on the HD FAF will find it. However, I doubt that it will be there but it's worth a search.

Photoshop Elements 5.0 Question - Barbara Brundage

I saw in Staples Photoshop Elements 5.0 after rebates the cost was $39.99.
I currently have Elements 4. Disappointment because not be able to
create a DVD slideshow and show on TV screen.
Question: Does Elements 5.0 software as shown in the Staples ad and
Elements 5.0/Premier the same software package. I called Adobe and the
salesperson could not sell the software for $39.99. He said Elements 5.0
would create a DVD but I needed Premier to create DVD slideshow. Otherwords, is Elements 5.0 and Premier two different software packages. If they are can I just purchase Premier and use with Elements 4.0. My main objective is to create a DVD slideshow and show the slideshow on a TV screen using a DVD player. Thanks

Wayne,
Since your main objective is to create DVD slideshows, you should take a
look at ProShow Gold (http://www.photodex.com/products/proshowgold/).
ProShow Gold is designed specifically for making slideshows and gets top
reviews.
Premiere Elements is designed to make digital movies. I've used it to
create create slide shows with excellant results, but, if all you want is
slide shows, ProShow Gold is probably a better bet.
The current version of Premiere Elements is version 3.0 and you can buy it
separately. However, the feature that let's you create a slideshow in
Photoshop Elements and pass it to Premiere Elements 3.0 to burn a DVD only
works with Photoshop Elements 5.0 not 4.0.
Photoshop Elements 4.0 works with Premiere Elements 2.0. If you are using
Photoshop Elements 4.0, you will have to import the slides into Premiere
Elements 3.0 and create the entire slide show there.

Photoshop CS4 Experience, Problems & Questions

Hi all,
i just installed my Production Suite Premium on the following System (fresh install, clean System, no other versions of Photoshop):
Intel E8500 Dualcore
Nvidia Geforce 9800 GX2 (Driver Version 178.24)
3 GB RAM
Windows XP Professionel SP3
Photoshop has its own Scratchdisk assigned with at least 50 GB free Space.
I know that the 9800 GX2 is considered to be a "Gaming-Card" but as a freelance artist i work for the game-industry on many occasions and I need a decent gaming hardware to test what I am working on. As far as I know, the card meets all requirements for CS4 and Nvidia tells me, that their GPU's are perfect for CS4. (wasn't a problem with any version before, I use Photoshop AND Nvidia-Cards since Photoshop 4)
Here are the things that bug me:
- Photoshop disables the OpenGL Features on random occasions, stating, that it has encountered a problem. This happens either in Two GPU-Mode or One-GPU-Mode.
There's no obvious reason for any errormessage, because IF Open GL is activated it seems to work pretty good, zooming and rotating works quite well and fast. I noticed, that the problem happens either after saving my file or when i open photoshop.
- Photoshop crashed on several occasions mostly concerning heavy transforming of multiple layers. It simply didn't respond anymore in the midst of the transormation-process.
My guess is, that this is also linked to the GPU/Driver. System-Memory is checked, GPU works like a charm in all other applications. CS3 has not once crashed in one year, so i guess it has to do with the changes made in CS4.
Strange thing is, that even with open GL deactivated, the above written problems occur. I would have thought, that with OpenGL dectivated, Photoshop would somehow become kind of CS3 again, but it seems, there had been to much changes to simply disconnect photoshop from it's new OpenGL interface.
Apart from these two Problems, Photoshop CS4 is doing ok. It feels kind of sluggish compared to older versions, but that might also change with some new drivers.
Sad thing is, that the rotate canvas feature and the extended moverange for images, the main reasons why i upgraded to CS4, are only working with
OpenGL activated. I really hope there will be a fix in the near future.
There are other questions concerning PS CS4's usability:
- The Scale-Brush Feature uses alt + right mouse buttons, what seems kind of strange when using a stylus (Even more when using a stylus without buttons like the wacom layout-marker).
I would prefer another combination of keyboard shortcuts plus stylus movement ctrl + alt for example. so far i have not found a way to remap the keys. Am i missing something? Or is this impossible?
- Is there a way to get window behavior back the way it was in CS3? The new way of handling windows is ok, but i liked the old one better. If i disable "floating windows docking" there's no way to maximize a window INSIDE the photoshop workspace. The maximize button on top of every window is right now completely useless because it maximizes the window AND gets rid of all the menus and palettes. I don't see why i want to do that.
That's it. I hope this is useful either for the guys at adobe or for other users. Every new Photoshop-Version has had its problems, i hope that these will just be dealt with like the ones before.
All the best,
Pickman

Photoshop CS4 does cause crashes. I can vouch for that too. When it happens, the first instinct is almost always to assume that something is wrong with the computer and start from there. Comments to this effect are prominent in many threads. It is also Adobe's prevalent approach. So people experiencing these problems will tend not to post on these forums. Statements like 'because there are only a few posts, a significant number of people are not experiencing [these] problems' are therefore unfounded. There simply has not been time yet for people to resolve potential hardware/system problems.
In my case, I started experiencing unexplained crashed with CS3 in July (see below) but it was only when Adobe admitted that they could be partly to blame that I posted my experiences (elsewhere) on this forum.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I have installed Photoshop CS4 on a newly reformatted HDD containing a fresh clean installation of Windows XP/SP3, fully patched, with everything working hunky dory, and no legacy installations of Photoshop or other CS software to worry about. All the same PS CS4 keeps crashing. The symptoms are unexplained total freeze ups occurring at random. I may get several hours use, sometimes a lot less, before I am forced to reboot and start all over again. Certainly the ability to do any useful work is severely compromised, and yes, the first inclination is to blame the hardware or system installation.
The thing is I had been chasing a similar, probably related, problem with CS3 (possibly caused by cloning my system drive, see http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6bd8d/ ) while Photoshop was still activated, so I have had several months head start over anyone who may now be experiencing similar problems with CS4. As a result, Dell, whose support has been great throughout, have replaced just about every component under the hood of my PC, certainly everything that could be causing a problem. (GPU, CPU, memory, MB, PSU, disk controller, disk cables...). As a result, I am running a virtually brand new computer. Hardware and system problems have been all but eliminated. I have all the latest drivers for everything. It is virtually a brand new computer!
Yet PS/CS4 keeps crashing for no reason that can be established. Adobe have given me lots of homework to do to try to find out what affects it or remedies there are. It is all very tedious, but so far, nothing...
I am coming to the conclusion that there must be something intrinsically wrong with PS/CS4 that makes it incompatible with some systems and software installations, but not necessarily because of any fault with the latter. I have to say that, after initially trying to push me away, Adobe are being very helpful and clearly want (need?) to get to the bottom of this. The trouble is that when the system locks up, it is completely and utterly paralysed, so any diagnostic and error reporting systems are inoperative. This suggests something beneath or beyond Windows, and, if it is not hardware, this points the finger of blame squarely at the activation software, which uses rootkit technology. (Would this be the same on a Mac, I wonder?)
For the record, my system is a Dell Precision 370 desktop with Dell/Phoenix BIOS A08, 3.2GHz Pentium 4 CPU, Intel 925X chipset, 2MB ECC SDRAM, Nvidia Quadro FX3450 graphics, 2x Seagate 146MB Cheetah 5.5k disks (SCSI) in non-RAID configuration. From the limited experience I have had, it seems perfectly capable of running the software (apart from when it crashes, of course.)

How do I flatten an image in Photoshop with a transparent background?

Hello! I am trying to flatten an image in Photoshop while keeping my transparent background. When I flatten, it gives me this white background instead. Someone posted this, "thanks for the help. I've seemed to of figured it out. what I did was>merge all visible layers(except for the background layer),>command and click on the layer to select all>flatten image>command j>deselect> and then delete the flatten layer. this gave me the transparent background I was looking for." but it didn't help me. Please help!

Hello Jeff a Wright,
The version of Photoshop I am using is Photoshop CS5.1. Whenever I flatten an image, it makes a white background, and gets rid of my transparent background.

Another transparency question. CLARIFICATION NEEDED

OH experts -- you who are unknown and unseen-- please know you are so appreciated!!
so, here's the question
have master pages set up with a picture, a screen over the picture in a certain spot.
on regular pages i place my text on that transparent screen. When printing from my small printer at home, my type & graphics are looking screened; less than 100% of their ink value.
how can i get these graphics/type to be ON TOP of the slightly transparent layer and print 100%?? why are they printing less than 100% when on the screened box from the master page? a
rent graphics on master pages underlying?
do they affect the graphics on top of them in the regular document???
tia

thanks for the info. its hard to be exact in describing what is going on!
But after lots of testing, i've narrowed it down to some sort of print/color settings within my programs AI & Indd -- not a problem with the files. SO -- FOR THAT i'm glad!
illustrator and indesign are printing my colors in a very muted fashion. Not black, but gray -- and a screened back color for every color.
other programs print pages fine -- dark blacks and vibrant colors.
SO -- as long as i know its not my file -- I can at least get through this project. -- i have a long line of things to figure out when i'm finished!
thanks for your ideas earlier; i'll keep in mind how to use the picture within these forums.

Bridge/Photoshop CS3 Web Gallery Question

Hi There, I have a question about the Photoshop cs3 Flash Gallery, particularly the flashobject.js file and index.html file. Whenever I try and open the finished Flash Gallery HTML page, I get a message that says "Please upgrade your Flash player" and "Already have Flash player installed? Click Here." Is there a way that I can remove that and just have it go to the Flash Gallery? I notice that it says Flash Player 6 but that is an old version. I am not very knowledgeable in javascript so any help would be appreciated.

Ellen,
I replied to your identical thread in the Bridge forum this morning.
