PS CS4: Automatically set background to transparent

Hi!
I have a small but annoying problem:
After a fresh Windows installation I installed Photoshop CS4 again. Since then, whenever I open an image of any format, when I cut out a segment, the background underneath appears white, whereas before the new installation, it had automatically been transparent, regardless of the file format.
Now, when I want a transparent background, I have to double-click on the "layers" window so that a new layer ("layer 0") is created. Then, when I cut out a segment, the background automatically is transparent.
Now, my question is, how do I set up Photoshop so that the background of any image opened in Photoshop automatically is transparent?
It used to be the case before the new installment.
I know, it's a small problem, but a very annoying one.
Thanks!

Sorry, I can't believe your statement:
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
... it had automatically been transparent, regardless of the file format.
A JPG image for example NEVER can have a transparent background.
How do you open your images?
Is it something like Copy > File New > Paste?
What file formats do you edit generally?

    How you are saying that no Deliveries were created ?
    First of all make sure that they are sales orders due for delivery data on the day you are creating.
    -> Run VF04 in foreground with the variant that you used in Background and check whether there is any orders due for delivery or not?
    Make sure you have proper data.
    Hope you should get it.

  • Imported SWFs background to "Transparent" in Presenter?

    Is it possible to set an imported SWFs background to transparent within Presenter?  I have Presenter 7, PowerPoint 2007, Flash CS4, working in Windows Vista.
    The only way I know to set SWF transparency is with the WMode parameter... so, in PowerPoint, if I right-click the imported SWF and choose "Properties" I get the Properties window which contains a field WMode.  I set this to "Transparent", but when publishing the Presenter file to "My Computer" the original SWF background (white in this case) still shows up.
    My PowerPoint has a gradient background, and my SWF file's stage is smaller than my PPT stage.  Making teh SWF BG transparent will allow me to place the SWF wherever I need to on the PPT stage without having to worry about lining up background gradients precisely.
    Any help is appreciated.

    So, not even 4 years later, and after 2 new versions of Flash can we still not produce a transparent background to be able to seamlessly go in a Powerpoint 2010 file?  I imported a single/looping file under the <Insert Tab. It had a transparent backgound and a playhead with start/stop on it. Can't remember how I did it though? 
    Thanks,

  • Could set background color of scrollbar?

    Hy
    is it possibile set background color of scrollbar?
    thanks

    From my experience on this - yes, setting the colour (or the Visual Attribute) of the Block object will determine the background colour of the scrollbar. As far as I can see, it doesn't affect anything else.
    I've had to ensure all my Blocks have a background colour set (to r88g88b88), because if it's left as <unspecified>, then the background of the scrollbar will be transparent. In Client-Server 6i, this isn't too bad, as the scrollbar still has a visible 'edge', but in 10.1.2.0.2 WebForms, this edge isn't present, meaning the background of the scrollbar isn't visible at all, just the two ends and a disembodied drag button. Not the end of the world, but some users thought it looked funny.

  • Creating Action to automatically set guides

    I've looked and can't seem to find a viable solution to my question.  I want to be able to create an action or something similar in PS (using CS4 currently) that will automatically set horizontal and vertical guides at .125 on all sides.  I can do this if I'm using a document that is always the same size (8.5 x 11) or something of that sort but I don't want to have an action for every possible document size I might be creating.  Can anyone help me?

    Nope. Seems like the Action recorded the location and name of the dummy file I saved when recording the Action.
    Anytime I play the Action, it saves a copy to that same folder with the same name.

  • Automatically set the stroke color as fill color

    Hello all,
    I have a file with two squares with red and blue fill colors respectively and transparent surrounding strokes. I'm trying to find a way to automatically set the stroke color of each square to the respective fill color.
    Is there an Illustrator script somewhere that would achieve that? I am not aware of an internal Illustrator command for this purpose.
    Thank you

    I'm not a scripting guy at all, but getting an object's fill color and applying it elsewhere sounds like it should be scriptable. You should post the question in the AI Scripting Forum.
    The hitch I see here is your assertion that your objects have "transparent surrounding strokes." I could be wrong, but I believe there is actually no such thing in Illustrator. Through some simple experimenting, I conclude that an object's stroke set to "no color" by choosing the blank swatch actually becomes a stroke of undetermined, or perhaps zero, weight.
    Take an object with a stroke color and weight and set its stroke to no color. The weight goes away as well. One can't exist without the other, and vice-versa, with repect to stroke weight and color. Now enter a weight for that colorless stroke, and it again receives color; defaulting to black regardless of what it may have been previously.
    Similarly, if you assign a color where there is no weight, a 1-point weight appears by default.
    I'm not sure how/if that plays into your plans, but I just thought I'd ramble on about it here in case it's something you hadn't considered.

  • Combobox background displaying transparent - help

    I have 5 comboboxes in a form and I can not get them to react
    to AS at all. In addition, their backgrounds are transparent so the
    list is stepping on other information underneath it - making it
    unreadable.
    I've tried setting a styleObj and attaching it and then
    setting the style properties, but nothing seems to work. I'm in
    Flash 8.
    any help will be greatly appreciated.

    The combo boxes themselves where the problem. They came from
    another file and for some reason, they just weren't accepting the
    setStyle. I deleted them and dragged in new components to the stage
    and the new ones worked.

  • Background-color:transparent !important; is not working in IE

    Hi,
    In my sharepoint site i have used "background-color:transparent !important;" css. It is not working in IE but in Mozilla is working fine.
    And I am using IE 11. Please let me know is there any thing wrong in the syntax. If that is the case please provide me correct solution for that.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
    Regards,
    Saya 

    Thank you for your reply.
    I have checked given links. Those are not use for this issue.
    Actually in my sharepoint site the same code "background-color:transparent
    !important;" was working fine before installing sharepoint 2010 service pack 2. After installation we got this issue. And if i change "transparent"
    with any color, it is applying that color. Only "transparent"
    background css is not working in IE.

  • I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. How can I fix it?

    I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. It looked in Mail, which had 5 email accounts set up in it, and for some reason picked the only one that I no longer use because it is for a school that I no longer attend. How can I fix it so that it syncs with the correct email account for notes and calendar? There don't seem to be any settings available other than to check if you want to use the basic features. It also said during the set up that it was setting up 'find my mac' but if I look on the iCloud website there is nothing showing there for finding my mac.
    At this point I feel like I wasted my money paying for this supposed upgrade. I got nothing for it but frustration. It even automatically set my security settings to allow only downloads from the Mac store so the first time I went to download something I had to stop what I was doing and go correct settings first. I feel like there should be a security setting to block downloads from the Mac store so I don't accidentally end up clicking the wrong thing and being charged.

    iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone.  You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone.  You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account.  iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
    iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac.  When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account.  You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar.  If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.

  • REQ: Add 'Fit-width' or 'Fit-visible' view mode, in which the zoom level is automatically set based on the width of the _current_ page.

    Currently, the default zoom level when viewing a page of a PDF file is automatically calculated based on the width of the "widest" page of the document. This means that, if the document contains one page that is wider than the others or is in landscape orientation, then the default zoom, when viewing all the other narrower pages, is set in a way so that the page does not use the full width of the screen. This results in very poor experience, because the zoom level and the visible area of the page have to be constantly adjusted for each page. The latest update (at the time of writing) has added some extra view modes, but not the much needed 'Fit width' or 'Fit visible'.
    Personally, I can find no reason valid enough to justify the lack of such a view mode. Automatically setting the zoom level based on the width of the current page so as to take advantage of the full width of the screen should be a must have feature for mobile devices, if not the default behavior. The current default behavior regarding the zoom level is pretty much useless, even on 8"/10" screens. There should be a view mode in which the full width of the screen is always used to display the document.
    Examples of documents for which the Adobe Reader for Android provides a poor reading experience are:
    documents which contain some of their pages in landscape orientation.
    publications which, apart from the main content, also contain the full front and back cover in a single page (usually first page which is much wider than the content pages) or any other extra pages like cards or application forms (that are meant to be printed) which usually use an A4/Letter page size etc.
    documents which have been cropped by external utilities or scripts so as to eliminate unneeded white margins (in some cases not all pages have the same width).
    Please consider fixing the default behavior in future releases of the Reader for Android or add a 'Fit width' or 'Fit visible' view mode.
    Thank you in advance.

    Improved descriptions of example documents.

    To add to this, if you prefer you can separate your JavaScript from your JSF pages.
    Add a folder (I named mine 'js') to your application's ViewController project's public_html folder.
    Via JDeveloper, create a new JavaScript file inside your newly created folder and place your JavaScript functions inside it.
    You can then 'load' the .js file using the method Shantala described, with the addition of an added 'source' property to the af:reference tag.
    (This can also be a URI reference to a JavaScript file hosted on a web server)
    <f:facet name="metaContainer">
      <af:resource source="/js/myJsFile.js" type="javascript"/>
    </f:facet>The benefits of this 'split' are cleaner JSF page source and also code-highlighting and formatting within the .js file making finding and fixing bugs in your JavaScript much easier.
    It appears however, that when using <af:resource> to load scripts, once the page has been submitted even once, the JavaScript is no longer available to the page. Which isn't very useful.
    A solution is to use <trh:script>.
    Add xmlns:trh="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/html" to your <jsp:root> tag and install the library.
    then in place of the above code use:
    <f:facet name="metaContainer">
      <trh:script id="script1" source="/js/myJsFile.js"/>
    </f:facet>Now after a page submit the JavaScript still functions.

    Hi
    A couple of things...
    Thats SQL - not PL/SQL
    That is not a valid SQL statement, I'm surprised its not giving an error. Please post the exact region source.
    When posting code on the forum, put {noformat}{noformat} (with the curly brackets and the word code in lowercase) above and below your code like this...
    {noformat}{noformat}
    SELECT *
    FROM emp
    {noformat}{noformat}
    It will then appear like this... SELECT *
    FROM emp

  • How to set background color in JTF GRID

    Is it possible to set background color in JTF GRID ?

    Hello Pavo,
    it's also possible to take the code from ebitar and use the expression within styleClass instead of inlineStyle.
    E.g. you can define a custom style "StyleClassEmptyText" in your skin and set this styleclass if af:inputtext is empty.
    By using style classes you can have the same style in the whole application and you are able to change this style on a single point(in the styleclass) for the whole application.
