Printing document.... images w/ transparent background print with visable border

I created a document in adobe InDesign CS3. I've placed some graphic images that have transparent background onto the document. It looks fine on my PC but when I print on a laser color printer, it prints with a noticeable background on the image. Drving me crazy. Any ideas why?

Chart Prints With a Border

I am using Crystal 11 over a Citrix connection. I have two pie charts in the report footer section, with one partially overlapping the other one. I have it set up to show the pie of each chart, but only one legend. When I print to two different local printers, the top-layered chart prints a border even though the border setting is set to none. If I make the lower-layered chart the top chart, then IT prints with a border and the other one no longer has a border. If I export the report as a .PDF and then print the .PDF, both charts print without a border as they should. If I export as a Crystal Report and then print it using the Crystal Reports installed on my hard drive, both charts again print correctly.
I've tried putting a white border around the chart, but that didn't help. If I put a non-white border around the chart, that border surrounds the border that shouldn't be appearing. I've searched the web and this newsgroup, but haven't found any references to this problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I guess I should have played with it a little bit longer. While I wouldn't say it's working as designed there is a workaround. I went into Chart -> Format Background... (which can also be accessed via right-clicking the chart). The border was set to transparent, but the fill foreground color was set to white. When I made the foreground color transparent as well, then the border disappeared when printing. I'm not sure why a white background with a transparent border was making the border appear, but I am now getting the desired results.
Hopefully someone else will gain from this if they have a similar problem.

Giving a black and white line work image a transparent background

I am working in Photoshop CS4 (mac). Currently, the image is comprised of black line on a white background. How do I go about giving the image a transparent background?

A day later, I have still not figured out how to accomplish what it is I am trying to do.
I have not yet tried what you have suggested in the last post and am about to go at it once again. I should mention two things. 1. My goal is to drop this image into InDesign (cs4) when completed. 2. The image has interior space betwen the line work/image itself that I would like to contain transparency. Not sure if I am being clear here. The issue lies in when I actually drop the image into InDesign. While the image appears to already have a transparent background, once it is dropped into InDesign, the image then assumes an opaque/white background.

How to save transparent background images to have transparent background thumbnails with Photoshop 2014?

In old versions of Photoshop there was a feature that made thumbnail images have a transparent background. I'm a CC member using Photoshop 2014 on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.4 and every thumbnail of a transparent background image I've created in Photoshop 2014 appears on my desktop with a solid white box background that has a thin black outlined box inside of it. How do I save the transparent background images I've created in Photoshop 2014 so they will appear on my desktop as thumbnails with a transparent background? I'd like to continue to be able to replace the default background-less folder icon that that appears on files with transparent background thumbnails to customize my files as I use to do with older versions of Photoshop.

If your layered document has a Photoshop background layer it visibility need to be set off when saving a PNG or Gif file for Photoshop background layers do not support transparency.
Thumbnail may be a bit more complicated than you think. I do not use Lightroom, and only occasionally use the bridge. I believe Lightroom and Bridge keep thumbnails they develop for image files in their library databases and caches. Other programs do not have acces to these. RAW Files and Image files have Jpeg previews stored in then. I believe most application use these previews jpeg to create thumbnails. Jpeg format does not support transparency.
Icon on the desktop are not always thumbnails some are embedded icons in application modules other are icon in dll these may well have transparency. However image file on the desktop have generated thumbnails. However you can create a shortcut for an image png file and create a icon with a transparent background for the png file and change the shortcut's icon for the png file to the transparent ico file you created for it.
Also many Photoshop release ago an Adobe module created Thumbnails for image files in Windows File explorer and most likely system file dialog. Adobe stopped supporting that stating Microsoft changes how windows works.
Today I use FastPictureViewer Codec Package to generate image thumbnails for image files including RAW and PSD files in File Explorer and system file dialogs.
I don't use a Mac don't know what available for your Mac.

Printing with colored border?

I have been wishing for one simple thing since aperture came out...being able
to print with a black (or other color) border instead of white. Is there a simple way to do
this that I am missing? with photoshop its right there in the print controls where it allows you
to select a color for the border. is this a difficult feature to add? not sure why it wouldnt be there. apple seems to appreciate using a black background for web pages...why not for printing?

Try using the book tool - simply lay out a 'template' book with pages the size of your paper, and drag images into it when you want to print.
Unfortunately you don't get the print-specific sharpening, but the layout controls are pretty good.

C7280: How to make a print with a border?

I have a C7280. I scanned an old photo into Photoshop. The image in Photoshop does have a border as I have intended and Photoshop says the image size is 3.75 x 4.9.
I loaded a 4 x 5.5 sheet of paper into the printer's photo tray. The image prints all the way to the left and top of the paper. In "Select Paper Size:" I tried both 3.5 x 5 in. and Borderless 3.5 x 5 in. and got the same results both times.
I tried 4 x 6 in. and I got more of the image - I got the full image vertiacally, but the image was printed too far to the left resulting in a slight border on the left. The right border was present.
To be clear: The border I am referring to is part of the image - I am not talking about a border in the conventional sense, which is a border formed by lack of printing where the blank white paper shows.
My question:
What paper size do I select or what do I do to get the image to print in the center of the paper so there is a border? (I will accept either a border as part of the image or a border in the conventional sense)

> A little knowledge might be a dangerous thing on my part
Yep.... Won't work. Not the print stylesheet part, but the
special print
part. The best thing you can do is to open a page of ALL the
coupons and
print from that. Try this -
Put this in the head of the document -
<script type="text/javascript">
function print_page(where){
var is_mac=(navigator.platform.indexOf("ac") != -1);
(document.all && is_mac)?
alert("Select \"Print\" from the menu") : where?
where.window.print() :
window.print();
function writeOutPrintLink(){
document.getElementById('printLink').innerHTML = '<a
href="javascript
rint_page();">Print this</a>'
</script>
Adjust the body tag of the document as follows -
<body ... onload="writeOutPrintLink();"> (where the
ellipsis indicates
already existing attributes, if any)
<span id="printLink"></span>
That way, the link only shows up if you have javascript
enabled.

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.

Newbie - problem cleaning up image on transparent background

I have a purple graphics file of a logo - created with a transparent background.
The problem is that there is an unsightly splash of white specks across some of the logo extending out into the transparent area.
I'm new to Photoshop and have been trying various things to no avail.
1) Because I found the checkerboard background to offputting I eventually figured out how to create a colour filled layer and set this as a background to make it easier on the eyes to try and edit - not sure if this was a sledge hammer to crack a walnut!
2) I've selected both layers - the graphics plus the yellow solid background layer
3) I've watched some tuturial videos that mention the "Spot Healing" tool ... I've tried this but it doesnt seem to do anything, certainly doesnt remove the white specks
4) I've also found some references to the "Clone Source Panel" - I eventually found this to select essentially nothing (ie transparency) to replace the white patches - but again nothing happens.
5) To check I wasnt going completely mad I selected the "eraser" tool and this works in as much as it removes yellow from the yellow background layer
Please can someone advise where Im going wrong thanks.
Hope it makes sense.
Regards!

The eraser is removing the yellow because the background layer was also selected. Make sure only the layer to want to edit is selected and nothing else.
If you get stuck, post a screen grab of photoshop with the layers panel open. Then we can give you better ideas.

Is it possible to import an image w/ transparent background from photoshop?

Hello,
I was wondering if it's possible to import an image which contains a transparent part of it into Motion, so I can later add in images and videos underneath that layer.
Thanks for your time.

hi again,
there are two ways to do this. In Photoshop you can elect to have a transparent background, if you erase your image to show the chequered background, Motion will do the same.
Or from within Motion you can apply a mask to an image to have it show whats underneath. Apply the mask using the mask tools in the toolbar to the image, then step over to the Inspector, hit the mask tab and select the type as subtract. That will punch a hole in your image revealing whatever is underneath it.
thanks
adam

How can I print with black border around edge of image?

I'd like to add a black border around the edge of certain images I'm printing. I know it's fairly trivial in Lightroom, but I can't see where this option is in Aperture. Is this lacking in Aperture, or am I just missing it? Many thanks.
PS -- I'm aware there are some plug-ins that claim to do this, so if Aperture can't do this, please feel free to chime in with comments on the best plug-in for this task.

Thanks, Rich. That's a good plug-in, and does cover what I need (with lots of other features, too). The problem, though, is it requires an export of the image, which I then have to either print from another application, or reimport to Aperture to print. I was hoping to find something that will either just apply the border to the print job, or that would serve as more of an Edit With . . . type of plug-in than an Export plug-in, so I can keep everything in one place. Thanks again.

"Stuck" Image in Transparent Background

After Effects 11.0.2.11
Mac OS 10.7.4
A "ghost" frame from an old movie is stuck in the transparent / checkerboard background. Always the same movie / frame.   Even in a new comp without any layers this old quicktime movie shows up. Was a moving movie, this ghost effect is now just a single still frame.   Put one item in the comp and it disappears. Turn off the eyeball for all of the layers and the ghost image comes back.
Does not show up in final renders .. yet.   Mostly in just (Auto / Half) rez comp viewer previews.
I've tried deleting prefs.    Cleared disk cache.    Cleared Conformed Media Cache. Restarted the program.    Restarted the computer.      It's been like this for weeks.
Now it has started showing WITH other layers "on". This is new.   Makes it tough to work.
IT department says they have no idea, that "we'll have to wipe your entire computer" but before going THAT route wanted to see if anyone else has ever had this problem and if they've discovered a solution.
Thanks,
Marc
In these examples below this "rooftop scene" not only isn't supposed to be in the image, it's not even in the AE project file.
Here it is actually with other layers set to "on" which has never happened before:

Hello People out there!
I am facing the same issue
Since a few days I have a very annoying ghost issue in After Effects. (cc 12.2.1.5)
I really have no clue what the problem is and how I should solve it.
Sometimes, when I set the opacity of a layer to 0% I can still see it. It is like a ghost. Even if I turn the little eye off or delete it, the Footage/Ghost won't go away.
I also tried to Empty the cache (while disabling refresh) and cleaned the database and everything, but the problem is still there.
(Also when I restart After Effects or my whole computer)
Sometimes it even shows me, that my ghost is part of another footage (while soloing layers), but I already checked that footage while revealing it in composition and checking the footage in the explorer. I also tried to safe it to a different filetype and relink it, but it was still not working.
Here a a few pictures of my problem below:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/.../ae_issue2.PNG
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/.../ae_issue3.jpg
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/.../ae_issue4.jpg
Sometimes, when I scrup with the slider through the composition it appears and disappears and when I loose my click, it is sometimes there and sometimes not.
It is even in my rendering, which is really bad because, because the video is due tomorrow :S...
Das anyone of you know if I did something wrong or if it is a programm bug?
I am really desperate right now!

How to print with out border

I am trying to print a file in works (see pictures) and it keeps cutting off the sides when i print what do i need to change for it to be able to print the whole page and not cut off the sides and top?
Thank you

Printing with no margins in mostly a printer setting.
As there is no such feature in my printer, I don't know if it's a setting ruled thru the menu item named (in French)
Paramètres d'impression…
or if it's ruled thru the menu item named (in French) Imprimer.
When the setting is done, define the margins to zero in the Inspector of Documents.
In Numbers, it's easier : there is a box to check to use the printer's smaller margins.

Exporting and image w/transparent background?

I edit the the back ground out of an image or edit around
something in a picture so that the area around it is transparent
and if I export it and open it back up the transparenst space is
now filled in with white? Is there a way to save the image so that
the transparent area will stay that way even after I export it? Any
help would be great! :o)

What is the file's extension? Why can you not insert it as a
picture?
