Photoshop-how to print white letters on transparent background

I would like to print white letters on a transparent background. The color white is selected, but it doesn't print print. I have a logo with a circle and the letters are inside. I have tried this in both photoshop and photoshop elements.
Originally, I wanted a white circle with black letters. The black letters print, but not the circle. The circle is filled with pure white. Then I tried the inverse and the black letters printed and not the white circle. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

One thing more, in the event that you are considering offset lithography, the lithographer, on occasion, is asked to print white ink on colored paper stock. In that case, since a single litho ink film is only 1 to 2 microns in thickness, it usually takes two or more overprints of white to hide the paper color. Moreover, when a simulated white panel is requested on white coated stock, it is not unusual to print the panel in gloss or dull varnish so that the difference in shine creates the panel.

How can I put text in transparent background?

How can I put text in transparent background?

Good day!
You can create a new document (»Background Contents« set to »Transparent«), use the Type Tool (T) to create text and then save in a format that supports layers like psd, psb, tif.
If the receiving application can’t handle those png24 is another option.

How to create image slice with transparent background without white halo around?

Hi, I want to make slice image with transparent background. I set the slice option background color to my background color. But when the image is on my html page set against the same background color, it has white halo around:
How can I get rid of the white halo?
I need the slice image to have transparent background and not have a color background because it's going on a rollover button with the background change. I don't want it to look like this on rollover:

>it looks to me like you built it with that "halo" to start with.
No, I didn't put in the halo myself. The shape is a character from the Webdings font. It's set to some darker fill color and set on a transparent background. Photoshop put the white halo there after "Save For Web".
> Make your graphic on a transparent background and Save for Web
I did exactly that, see:
I set the slice background to my color. I try the Matte option and come out the same with white halo.
It seems I'm not making Photoshop antialias to my background color, instead Photoshop just antialias to white.
What else do I need to do?

How to make white shapes turn transparent when exporting to .png?

I'm trying to cut out parts of my image with white shapes, but when exporting to .png with transparent backgrounds, the white shapes remain as white shapes instead of becoming transparent and applying the cut.
How do i fix this?
Thanks,

Use a mask, most probably an opacity mask should help.

How to I move gif with transparent background to jpg background?

I am using the Master Squite CS 5.5 trail on Windows XP Pro with SP3. I am not a Photoshop expert, but have done a fair amount for work with iit.
I am trying to build some headers for websites and I know how to combine JPG images and text to ceate a header image.
Now I have a couple of logos that I got in JPG format, converted them to GIF and made the backgrounds transparent.
The "Move" tool doesn't seem to allow me to drag and drop a GIF image with a transparent background onto a JPG header background. I tried converting the JPG header background to a GIF image too, but it won't let me move the transparent image to this background.
I really need to get this to work somehow to create the professional look I want.
Thanks!

Your mistake is in assuming you need GIF anywhere in the process.
Try this instead: Paste your logo JPEG over the background as a separate layer, then remove the pixels you want to be transparent by either Deleting them or Masking them.

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 to use/create icons with transparent background ?

I would like to use icons with transparent background on JButtons, but I can't find how to do it. Until now, I've been using the ImageIcon class to create icons from GIF images. These images were created with MSPaint (sorry, I don't know what I could have used instead of that). Here is how I create my buttons :
bPencil = new JButton(new ImageIcon("Pencil.GIF"));What could I do to make the background transparent and/or what software could I use instead of M$Paint ?
P.S. : sorry if my question seems silly, but I'm a newbie in Java coding...

Transparent images are GIF (256 colours) and PNG (true-colour, half transparency).
You can store the image with your code, *.class files. You then even can deliver all inside a clickable, executable .jar file.
This kind of usage is called "resource," and hence use getResource like this:
    java.net.URL imgURL = getClass().getResource("pencil.gif");
    ImageIcon icon = null;
    if (imgURL != null) {
        icon = new ImageIcon(imgURL, description);
    }You can use paths.
There exist versions of MSPaint that easily loose their transparent colour on saving.
For GIFs try internet palettes, or try to save as PNG (recent version).
Start with a transparent image from elsewhere.

White image on transparent background

I have an image with white components which I want to save as
a gif with transparent background but fireworks wants to export the
white as transparent. Is there a way round this? Many thanks,
Alex

Two options come to my mind:
1) Set the transparency to No Transparency as Alex said. Then
choose a background color that you do not need as a color as well.
Then in the optimize panel, look in the bottom left and notice the
three buttons with checkered backgrounds. The one with the plus
icon lets you choose a transparent color by hand. Select that, and
click the background color.
This way you can make the transparent be any color you want.
The problem with this is it might be hard to find a color that
isn't also in your image, and you might not *want* to change the
background color(since this will affect your image possibly).
2) Use 'Alpha Transparency'. This is usually used for image
formats, like PNG, that support full alpha transparency, but you
can use it with a GIF in a way to: set your canvas background to
Transparent(no fill), then choose Alpha Transparency for you GIF.
Notice that now in Preview mode that only the background is
transparent. You can then control the "matte" color in the Optimize
panel to simulate as if there was a solid background color for
semi-transparent areas, since semi-transparency can't be in a GIF
it has to make it a solid color blended against a background
color.

How to make animations float with transparent background

I am taking a graduate course in adv. web design for an ed
tech program at a university. Neither my instructor nor anyone else
in my class knows how to get Flash animations to have a transparent
background, or even if this is possible. On behalf of us all, I am
wondering if it is possible to create a Flash animation without a
background--or with a transparent background, and then superimpose
it onto a web page so that the web page's background shows through
all but the animated part. We are using Flash 8. If it is possible,
can someone please tell us how to do it? I have seen web pages
where the animations float over the web page. Are these animations
made with Flash or with another program? Thank you!

Yes, it's easy, but haven't done it for a while, and not
since all the new ActiveX stuff on MS IE requires Java Script to
make the dotted outline go away.
To do it well takes a combination of Flash with the
publish-settings HTML Window Mode set to Transparent Windowless,
and tightly-designed CSS with your animation positioned in a div
that lies or overlays the exact place on the HTML page where you
want it. You can even have it scale to the entire visible window,
which can be quite cool. I did one for the holidays with snow
falling over an HTML page. It can block lnks from working, though,
so you can have the div (and animation) disappear when the
animation is done.

Export white gif with transparent background

Hi,
I suppose this is a bug, or has anybody an idea: I have a transparent canvas and a white drawing. Very simple thing. Now I want to export this as a gif, just like it is: transparent background, white drawing. But this seems to be impossible. I can choose any of the available settings in export dialog (no transparence, index-transparency, alpha-transparency), Fireworks will never export the image correctly. Either I have a total white or a total transparent gif, I even got a white drawing on black background (but can't reproduce it).
System: Mac, Fireworks CS5
Thank you, Michael

Set the Transparency type to Alpha when you export.

How to make white colored sections transparent

I have made a logo that consists of a black circle, with lots of text and shapes inside that are colored white. It looks fine on a white background, but when you change the background color the text stays white, when I want it to be transparent like a "cut out". How can I achieve this easily and still be able to edit the text?

Thanks Jacob! This worked. I already tried clipping masks and pathfinder but they didn't work very well because I used strokes around the white shapes. Not sure about knockout groups, but it did what I wanted.

How to make white letters with black contour line in Title Tool?

I have version 7, I have to match the subtitles of a formerly edited piece which are in Gill Sans with a black contour. I only know how to use Shadow.
Can you help me? Thank you very much.

Thank you Meg: I got on Boris 3D to the screen you're showing with the letters Gill Sans, but it only had Font and Size. When I clicked on the alignment lines it didn't respond. Also it had a shadow instead of just plain black contoured letters. When I closed the window it brought a message: Do you wish to save the effects Settings? I clicked OK just to get out of the window. In Controls there was no Text and no Text Settings (see the Snapshot). Still title 3D click for Options. However the text appeared in the Video tab.
that's how far as I got.
Can you give me a hint of how to get from here to Text Settings please? I'd be most grateful.

How to print A4 letters from a Photosmart D7160?

I am trying to print a normal a4 letter (on white 80gsm photocopier paper) from my photomsmart D716O.
I put the paper in the pull-out paper tray but the message I get back is that there is no paper in the printer.
What am I doing wrong? Can this printer handle normal printing or is it just a photoprinter?

Hi LacyRose,
I understand that you were printing cards and only got the outside of the cards printed. I need to get some more information please. What program are you using to print the cards? What operating system are you running on your computer?
Let me know please.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.
