Photoshop button effects don't respect transparency

It appears that effects such as drop shadow no longer respect transparency channels in Photoshop buttons. Has anyone run into this?
Version 1.0
Version 2.0

Thanks for the help jerry, but this would mean changing each and every button on the site, then going back to Muse and swiching OFF the drop shadow effect on each and every instance of said buttons.
All because of a regression bug in the Adobe software used to create the site. That's $$$/time that I cannot bill a client for.

Keep Photoshop live effect (inner glow) with transparent background

I currently have a circle with a background color and a photoshop live effect of an inner shadow. I'm trying to set the background to transparent, but when I do so, the inner glow becomes invisible. Can someone please offer some tips on how to keep the inner glow with the background being transparent? The only thing I could figure out was lowering the opacity, but then the true color of the background doesn't come through.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You could create the effect you want in the following way_
Drag out an ellipse with the vector ellipse tool on Fireworks. Fill it with the color you want the inner glow to be. Change the fill from solid to a radial gradient. Open the gradient editor and make sure that both colors of the gradient are the same. The color chip on the left side of the gradient ramp is the one that controls color in the center of the ellipse. The black chip above it controls opacity. Click on the black chip and change the opacity to 0. Adjust the position of the fill handle and the chips on the ramp to get the effect that you want.

PHOTOSHOP BUTTON, DOES IT SUPPORT TRANSPARENT BACKGROUNDS

Photoshop buttons, does it work with transparent back grounds...

uh, NO. The FIOS network does not currently support ipv6 at a residence. Probably the various components of there Home Control can support it.

I want to use a customized photoshop button with my composition and have rollover effect

I'm trying to place a photoshop button into a blank composition widget trigger. When I cut a paste the image into the trigger it looses its fuctionality and no longer switches colors during rollover. It works fine in the lightbox composition, but the problem with lightbox composition is that it does not have rollover options to display the target only click. How do I get around this problem. I want to have my own customized button with the composition effect within muse cc.

You should check the design layout and states defined for the trigger , if the state is defined properly then it should show the rollover state, but the target container corresponding to the trigger is on the page then it would show you the active state not the rollover state.
Thanks,

How do I import a Photoshop button (including it's different states) into the muse menu widget?

I had the idea of using the "place Photoshop button" option to configure the states in my horizontal menu bar in Muse. I started out trying to use the widget, after playing with the options it seems I can either load each individual state one at a time in manual mode or I can try to make a menu bar from the buttons and manually place the respective links. I would be grateful for a suggestion or alternative method that is as easy as the "place Photoshop button" option, I love that feature. Thanks in advance.
J
UPDATE: I found that I could use Fill image then in import fill options, import layer + clip layer contents for each of the states. It was working very well but I noticed an error in one of my buttons states so I had to go back to Photoshop. When I returned to start this process again and I clicked import layer, the states are all flat plain text without any of the blending options I had set for each state. The odd part is that I can see all the layers in composite, but it will not let me place each layer as it did before.
After several frustrating hours going through every step I edited and even trying to load the buttons I thought were exactly the same file I used before I could not find what I had done differently to cause this. I did successfully place each Photoshop button in empty space and the cut and paste them into the menu. Which is way easier then the original method. I would like to know if anyone has an idea what went wrong for the sake of knowledge. Also thought that this cut paste method might help others trying to build menu buttons outside of Muse.

I'm afraid Photoshop is a graphics program ill suited for generating good HTML and CSS code. Use Photoshop to create your images only. Use DW to build your HTML, CSS and menus.
Have a look at this tutorial:

Photoshop buttons with tranparent background display in IE 7 & 8 with a Black background

I added Photoshop buttons to my website and they display fine in IE 9, but when I tested it on Windows XP using IE 8 and on Windows Server 2003 using IE 7 these Photoshop buttons showed up with black background where it should have been transparent.
As a workaround I created a background in my PSD files to match the background of the website. However, this is not ideal because changing the website background in the future is now going to require editing all of the PSD buttons again.
The other strange thing I notices is that when I had these buttons originally in the header of a Horizontal Menu Widget they worked fine on IE 7 and 8. I'm not sure why when I remove them from the widget the background shows up black.
This definitely appears to be a BUG and hopefully Adobe can resolve it quickly.
Let me know if anyone else has experienced this problem and how you fixed it.

I do agree that it is probably related to the browser. However, that does not explain why the same images display fine if they are in a horizontal menu widget. It would seem that if they display one in a Muse website they should work anywhere in the site. Obviously that is not the case and must have something to do with the way a widget embeds the image. I don't have an explain online since I already fixed the problem by removing the transparent background and matching the background color of the website in the photoshop PSD file.
If you want to see an example of what the site looks like know you can go here. http://www.itouchandlearn.com/toddler-puzzles.html the buttons that I had a problem with are the App icons accross the top.
I originally had everything on a single page nesting the different app pages within the horizontal menu widget, but because everything was on one page it took to long to load. To fix this problem I created new pages for each widget menu tab and moved everything out of the menu widget. This is when the transparent background became a problem.

LiveTrace doesn't respect transparency/clipping paths?

As you can see in the below image, I've placed a PSD file of a donut with a clipping path into Illustrator. When i do a two color Livetrace, AI converts all the transparency to white, merging them with my hilights. I don't want a bounding box, i want my donut to maintain the same alpha/transparency as before, but i want it livetraced. If i click the "ignore whites" checkbox, AI makes both the transparency AND my whites and throws them away. Is there any way to get livetrace to respect transparency/alpha/clipping paths?
thanks

Ok I understand. What to do is to turn it into a live paint group and manually restore the white that urns transparent with the live paint bucket set to white.
since it is a transparent background if I have this correct place it as a psd and I choose to view as a transparent image you will see that at the bottom of the Live Trace Option, not really certain that is even necessary as it an image place as a psd file on a transparent background.
You can add a blur to smooth the edges.
Or you can, if this is a transparent image in photoshop, select it turn the selection into a path and save that as a clipping path to use in AI after yu used the Live Trace.
Of course there is the manual method of using the pen tool.

Adobe Flash/Photoshop/After Effects CS4 Installation - Internet Explorer Script Error

Greetings everyone. Another Adobe Installation disaster story.
I'm trying to install the aforementioned products (Flash, Photoshop, After Effects) on my computer, but I get about 20 "Internet Explorer Script Error"'s every time. [I don't even use Internet Explorer] I don't understand why the installation worked on a different computer I own but not this one. Both of them are running Windows XP Home.
I've already tried removing all Adobe Products, using msicuu2.exe, CS4CleanupScript from Adobe, etc...
This is the install log that was generated for Flash.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Photoshop Button in Active State Returns to Normal After Rollover?

Hello,
I'm working on a glossary reference website in Muse, and have hit a roadblock with my photoshop buttons.
I have created menu buttons in Photoshop that have two different states - one for active and rollover, and another for normal and down (the button is actually saved with four different layers/states, one for each, but for what the user will see, it's really only two options). I've used these menu buttons as rollover triggers for blank compositions, and when the user rolls over the button, the name of the page appears below it, and then disappears on rollout (otherwise the names would overlap and it would look very cluttered).
The issue that I have found is that, when I preview the page in my browser, the buttons appear to function properly in that they show up in the active state indicating that the page that they are linked to is the one that they are on.
Initial View - Home Page:
...and when I rollover the image of the page that I am currently on, the button shows the name of the page as desired, like so:
However, when I rollout, the button reverts back to the normal/down state, even though I am still on the home page.
Below is a screenshot of the composition settings that I have set up for this widget. I tried switching the "Hide Target" to none, but since the target is referring to the word "Home", the word "Home" remained visible in addition to the button remaining in the active state, which is not what I want. I also tried selecting "Triggers on Top", but the issue was not solved here either.
What am I missing? How can I make sure that my button remains in the active state when on the page that it is linked to?
Thanks for your help!
Rachel

Sounds like a bug that's the fallout of the overloaded meaning of "Active" state. "Active" is both the state used for an item with a hyperlink applied that points to the current page (or an anchor point in the current scroll range on the current page) and the state used for a trigger or thumbnail in a Composition or Slideshow widget that corresponds to the a current active item in the composition or slideshow.
It appears we honor the hyperlink definition of "Active" on page load for a composition trigger with a hyperlink to the current page applied, but don't honor that definition of active when transition to having no items in the composition active (or presumable when transition to having a different item in the composition active).
The only workaround that comes to mind would be the very tedious approach of replicating this composition widget on each page, removing the hyperlink on the "active" trigger and manually formatting it's "Normal" state to appear active.
I've written up the bug. However, it may not get fixed immediately. (We tend to collect smaller fixes in an area and then address them all at once or when other changes are planned in that area, due to the overhead involved in ramping up to work on an area and thoroughly retest it after changes.)

Wavy colored lines on screen - little like a photoshop selection effect

Hi All,
This morning when I woke my 20" intem iMac from it's sleep, I was presented with a screen full of wavy "ie moving" curved lines moving around the screen. It looked a bit like a selection in an image editing program like photoshop. In all other respects the machine was working fine. Anyways, after mild panic and a few reboots, no dice, still wavy lines.
I did notice that the initial mac icon as it booted looked normal, then the wavy lines kicked in, so I had a little hope that it wasn't a hardware problem.
Long story short, resetting the PRAM (commandoption+PR) during reboot fixed it for me. Phew.
Just thought I'd post in case someone else runs into this problem.
Cheers

Ah, yes, the usual reason not to give up a computer for repair. They might simply replace your display, leaving you with the rest of the unit and original hard drive in place. There may be no problem occur, but it's always wisest to be prepared for a repair failure and back up prior to giving up the machine. While the repair personnel might be interested (or not) in protecting your interests, I'd keep in mind that they're only human and do make errors.
I don't know what will happen next if you choose to do nothing. What if the problems escalate for you and you end up losing everything on the hard drive - are you backed up and prepared for that possibility? Not fair, I know, throwing the doomsday scenario at you, but .... your decision.
Edit-
You might want to check the warranty language, as I imagine that Apple won't agree to be responsible for your data, even if they try to help you out in that respect during service.

Trouble with "Place Photoshop button". It is not importing or "placing" my PSD file.

So I have a triple layer PSD file of a custom facebook icon that I am trying to "place" into Muse. (PSD file includes transparent backgound, layer 1 image, and layer 2 image). When I go to the "Place Photoshop button" and select my PSD file containing this and click "ok", the dialog option box does pop up however without my images or file. Am I doing something wrong?

Hello SDM,
Are you getting this option after you select the .psd file ?

Alt Text on Photoshop Button

Hi guys,
Does anyone know if there a work around / cheat that allows you to set 'Alt Text' on a placed Photoshop Button in Muse?
Thanks heaps,

That won't work I'm afraid, the Alternative Text needs to be associated with the placed Photoshop button object itself for accessibility purposes.
E.g. for images you can add Alt Text quite easily by editing the Image Properties in Muse. However for a Placed Photoshop Button, these properties don't seem to be available. So I'm looking for a work-around (other than having to do this manually).
If I check the generated HTML for a page containing a Photoshop Button, I can see:
<div class="preload_images">
<img class="preload" alt="" src="images/photoshopbutton-u614-r-fr.jpg"></img>
<img class="preload" alt="" src="images/photoshopbutton-u614-m-fr.jpg"></img>
</div>
and there is an empty 'alt' attribute in the img-element. However, I don't see how within Muse you can populate this alt attribute

HELP: Photoshop Button Hover Rollover State Flickers (jumps) Upon First Preview

All photoshop buttons flicker (jump abruptly) before the rollover state is displayed in preview mode and in browser for the 1st time. After that the behavior is normal. The rollover and hover image displays without a flicker. Why all the graphics not preloaded to prevent this mega-annoying issue? Is there a work around?
I tried INSERT HTML option as an alternative to photoshop buttons using the following code, since it works flawlessly on other web building programs, but it doesn't even work in Adobe Muse. I am stock and don't know how to work around this issue.
<a href='Destination URL' target="_top" onmouseover="document.sub_but.src='http://yourdomain.com/onroll.jpg'" onmouseout="document.sub_but.src='http://yourdomain.com/normal.jpg'">
<img src="http://yourdomain.com/normal.jpg" width="281" height="55" border="0" alt="Move your mouse over me" name="sub_but">
</a>
I love the convenience of photoshop button but the results are truely unprofessional on first loading. Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Do you have a URL to a site using Photoshop buttons placed in Muse? My guess is that the images are very large and taking some time to load initially.

I want replace my desktop with a iPad to do emails and Microsoft office work. Can this be effectively done? What's the downside if any?

I want replace my desktop with a iPad to do emails and Microsoft office work. Can this be effectively done? What's the downside if any?

I'll go down your list one by one.
1. Access mail - which I know that the iPad can do.
Enough said.
2. Save an excel or word or ppt of PDF attachment for review.
You can view these types of documents natively on the iPad as Tgara has mentioned.
3. Open an review and maybe change a excel or word file.
There are many apps that allow this. I personally prefer Apples iWork programs, Pages, Numbers, Keynote. They tightly integrate with iCloud.
4. Resave such above files.
With Pages, Number, Keynote you can save/resave files in iCloud and locally. Also you could use dropbox to save your files on dropbox and provide a way for you to share a folder with coworkers/family and they can add/view/review files from there and you can see the changes on your device.
5. Reply to a mail attaching a file.
This is possible in many ways. From dropbox, or another app you can email files with the share button.
6. Be able to rename files and store them in specific folders.
This goes back to dropbox/iCloud. iOS doesn't really have a traditional file system. If you save a PDF it isn't saved anywhere you can just open it. You would have to open an app that supports view PDFs and select the PDF you wish to view. The same goes for documents, spreadsheets and etc.
Hopefully this helps answer your questions.
