PNG file appears opaque in IE (Was: Diamobe)

I inserted a png (w/ a transparent bkg) into a AP Div. But when I preview it in IE Browser bkg is opaque.

Maybe this will help

I created a photo book in Photoshop elements 11 that contains png files with the invisible backgrounds. When I export the book to a jpg or a pdf, the png files appear with white backgrounds.

jpg and pdf formats don't support transparency. You need to use a format such as tif, png or psd that does.

How to Apply Color to Placed .PNG file in AI_CS2 & keep Transparency?

So unfortunately I'm stuck with CS2, but it sure beats not having it at all.
I'm importing a graphic icon that was saved from Photoshop as a .PNG file with transparency into AI_CS2. (I can open the .PNG and resave it with any options or as a different format as suggested.)
Once I import this image, I'd like to apply particular swatches to it. However, I find I can only apply a swatch after I've run LiveTrace. My problem is that after I've done so, I lose the transparency that is essential to this icon.
Can anyone assist me? I'd be much indebted to you!
FYI, ultimately I plan on saving this as a graphic .EPS to import into InDesign CS2.
Thank you! Please let me know if there are any clarifications I can make.
Peace,
Carrie Anne

For ease of discussion, I'm just going to reveal the graphic here. I really think I ought to be able to color something so simple. I've gone back into Pshop & converted this to grayscale (the original was cut from something with color in it).
After placing it in AI, I still can't apply a color, and once I run LiveTrace, if I apply a color, it colors the entire bounding box, not just the inside of the path. Same is true even if I choose MagicWand and select the inside area first. What else do I need to do? Is there a path option I need to choose after running LiveTrace? Thanks!
(FYI, I'm inserting a .gif here b/c the .png file appeared with black in the background, and grey fill in the panther. This should be a black panther with a transparent background, if it doesn't work here, hopefully you get the point.)

.png files in IE ?

Is there a shortcut to make .png files appearing in IE ?

Don't use png.
It also depends on the MSIE version. MSIE 8 finally manages to display (transparent) png images.
And don't adapt to MSIE reality. Or use a PC. With Frontpage or [SiteSpinner|http://www.virtualmechanics.com/products/spinner> you can create equally stunning websites.

PNG files sent to iphone Photo App do not appear on 'date taken' (manually added in windows explorer)

I have over 1000 PNG files that do not have exif 'date taken'. They only have exif 'date created or modified'
The 'date created/modified' is not the actual date that I took the screen shots.
I added the 'date taken' manually in windows explorer. However, it seems that this does not write this data into the exif 'date taken' which remains blank.
When I transfer the PNG file from the PC to IPhone Photo App, it does not appear on the 'date taken' (that I added manually) but appears on the exif 'date created or modified'.
Interestingly, when I do same as above but with JPG file, it does show up correctly based on the 'date taken' (that I added manually in windows explorer).
So I converted the PNG file to JPG using one of the online tools. However, when I do this, the converted file does not retain the 'date taken'.
I can fix the above by:
1. Use Paint to save the PNG file as JPG; this retains the 'date taken' but this is not the solution I am looking for as I would need to do this for each file (there is no bulk 'save as' in Paint)
2. Use a file conversion tool to bulk convert from PNG to JPG; but again this is not solution, as I would have to manually add the 'date taken' in windows explorer to each JPG file
Alternatively, I tried to rename the file name to include the 'date taken' and then use an exif date changer app to set the xhif dates based on file name.
However, I was not able to find any software that would allow me to do this. The software that I have seen only picks up the 'date taken' from file EXIF data. But in my case there is no such data in the file - only the 'date taken' that I manually added in Windows Explorer.
Any advice is appreciated. All I want to do is transfer PNG files from PC to Iphone Photo app and have these files appear in Photo app based on the 'date taken' (the one I manually added in windows - not the date taken in exif data).

Png file won't appear in flash!

Hi ... I'm trying to import a png file from Illustrator into flash and just the 'blue box' is appearing in flash and not the actual image its like its there but invisible !! when i preview it (cmd enter) you can see its there! but not when you're actually in he flash file! HELP

You might have the outline mode turned on for the timeline layer that you are on. Try clicking that colored rectangle in the timeline layer near the layer name. It should be a solid color filled rectangle.
If that does not change it then look in View -> Preview Mode -> and make sure Outlines is not selected

Hi,
You cannot open the file created/opened in the latest version of InDesign into older version of InDesign directly.
You will have to export the file, File >Export , into IDML from the newer version to make it compatible with older version.

Can't open or save png files

Hi, I'm very new to fireworks and since I installed it 4
weeks ago I can't save or open png files. An error message appears
stating An internal error occurred. I've read through other posts
and because fonts kept coming up It needed doing anyway, I ran a
clean install of my os, still no luck. All other file types are
fine.
Mac G5 - 10.4.9 running studio 8
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

My OS is 10.4.11. on 2 GHz Intel iMac.
I reread my orignial post and noticed a typo. I can save png's with PS "save for the web," but can't open those just-saved png files.
I did lots of things before I noticed that the png wasn't working. Don't know which may have caused a problem. Likely things? Well, I added a plugin for Ico. format. I deleted it because I thought it might have caused the conflict.
Assuming that was the problem, what can I do to restore the png file format?
I don't have disk warrior. I did run the maintenance utility yesterday. It runs crons, clears caches, deletes cookies, that kind of stuff.
I've never had a problem with it disabling plugins or causing any problems. Haven't run disk utility for a few weeks. Would that help?
I didn't download the replace png plugin from Adobe, but the original wasn't working anyway. I looked for a backup on the exernal drive, didn't find one, and downloaded another.
Next, I did a Photoshop reinstall thinking that might fix the problem, but it didn't. Which plugin folder should the png plugin be place in. I've never been sure why there are two format folders; the folder in plugins, and the folder in Photoshop only.

Strange .plist Files Appearing in Preferences

Hi. I've posted this on the Waves forum as well as Digidesign, but just in case anyone here has seen something similar happen, I thought I would ask here as well...
When I start up Pro Tools 7.4.2 and select any of the Waves plug-ins, the following 12 .plist files appear in my User/Library/Preferences folder:
com.AdatemsDesign.NewQuality.plist
com.AltenearTechnology.DynaOnline.plist
com.AltenearTechnology.Infinisys.plist
com.AtenetsCorporation.Exocarp.plist
com.IncorPartners.Decompose.plist
com.LtrumIncorporated.Exocarp.plist
com.micrologyasia.cytoplasm.plist
com.Orangesource.Bibliographer.plist
com.REFTechnology.Enterprisedigital.plist
com.syspartners.achlorhydria.plist
com.systel.transmit.plist
com.Utilineau.Remove.plist
These files only appear when Waves plug-ins are used. I was unable to do any online search for these .plist files or even the odd "corporation-like" naming; and this is what has me concerned. The Digidesign people say "contact Waves", the Waves people say "those aren't our files", but still they appear -- even after two complete wipes and re-installs.
Has anyone encountered anything like this before? Regardless of the software used?
Thanks!
Rob

That's funny -- I copy/pasted the .plist from TextEdit into the message; it was just a couple of upward arrow symbols. It seems I can't place them without it disappearing after posting the message.

You can see on the second one that's all that shows on the raw text of the file.
I wonder if it's not some kind of placeholder or security thing. Still I am surprised that it did not turn up in an internet search.
If you wanted to, you could delete one of them and then create a plain empty text file with the identical name but change the permissions so that only you can read/write it - not even the system and see what happens. Does it still get replaced by the other one, or does something "complain" about not being able to write a file etc.
It is indeed a very curious thing.

Exporting png files

I am trying to maintain a website that was designed by
someone else. I want to change the drop down menus on the home
page. I know how to edit the pop-up menu. The pop-up menu is one
aspect of a png file. So then I save the file, export it, but when
I go to upload it in Dreamweaver, it seems to upload as normal, but
the changes that I made do not appear when I view the page on the
web.
What am I doing wrong? It must have something to do with the
exporting process or maybe I'm not uploading all the files that I
need to.
Thanks.

Rant away, but its only Fireworks users who read these posts,
but if it
helps get it off your chest carry on :)
By the way, I was under the impression that you get 90 days
free support
from the day of purchase.
And I totally feel your frustration about the seamless
integration being
rubbish, its over marketed and they should drop it.
The UI is nothing like Photoshop, which is why I prefer
Fireworks. I
could always get on with Macromedia products, but never
Adobe, so I was
worried when Adobe bought Macromedia, in fear that the UI
would be
ruined. Its the next version of Fireworks and other
Macromedia products
that will see the big changes in UI, unless they are really
kind to us
loyal Macromedia users and leave it alone.

Help in working with this Png file...(Please see attached)

Hi All,
I am trying to identify the contents of the attached png file so I can edit the mask to make addition icons for the web. It is barely visible until a layer is placed below it. I have tried editing the contents and saving it out as another png for use in a CSS background image but it does not appear. I am not sure how it was created but it seems to have an alpha channel yet one does not appear in the channel listing. But it does show an opacity of 18% when the Info window is up and you hove over the pixels. I am very confused and would appreciate help as I have spent an entire day trying to decipher this mystery.
By the way, the image is attached here, right next to the exclamation point below but is coming up as invisible because of the low opacity. But it is there as you can tell by the gap between this sentence and my closing salutation. Like I said, this is a very confusing issue!!
Thanks and have a Happy New Year!

I downloaded your very small png image 26px by 98px. PNG files support transparency and all the pixels in this PNG file are more then 50% transparent. For when I load the layers transparency as a selection there are no visible marching ants and I get a message to that effect. The pixels are very transparent and not visible in the composite image. To make them visible I made three copies of the document and added a stroke layer style to each copy. The stroke are 1 px black ones one outside, one centered and one inside the layer pixel border. The layers opacity is at 100% however all pixels has transparency less then 50%

Edit a png file... change colors and text and then export to gif?

First I want to state that I am VERY new to Fireworks and I am trying to figure out how this works! I typically use Photoshop.
I was sent a PNG file (from a friend). The file has many buttons on it that I believe are somehow saved or exported out as gif images to be buttons on her website. All of the buttons are basic rectangles that are gray with black text. She was told she could edit all of the buttons quickly in Fireworks (change their color, font color, etc) and it would change them all together. Then save them all out so we would have the individual gif files for the buttons to save to the directory.
So... I am able to open the png file in Fireworks and I can select each button or all of them, but I cannot see how to change their color and font, etc. I know this must be very simple! Can someone help me?
Thank you!
Sharlyn

Have a look in the ocument Library panel to see if the buttons are Symbols. If yes, then double click on one of the buttons to open it in the symbol editor where you can easily make changes in all of them at once.

How do you open and save PNG files as images rather than a document (which my MacBook is doing automatically)?

Hi,
Basically I'm doing a course in which i need to import images on a document for evidence (in particular Cirque Du Soleil, yes it's a weird course!) I am using the develop menu tab and using the Inspect Element menu. Here i have found loads of images that are perfect for my evidence, but the images are all showing as PNG files. Whenever I try to save these they will only save as Documents and not images. How can I change this so I can save them as images and import them imto Pages.
Many Thanks
Mason

Hi @Shootist007
I knew PNG files were image files, that why i was confused when I saved them onto my Mac they were showing as Documents under file type. But i managed to do via Preview (opened it up in Preview then click and dragged to my document).
Thanks for your help
