Save transparent background images to have transparent desk thumbnails with Photoshop 2014
MacBook Pro 2.7GHz 10.9.5 16gB Photoshop 2014
I need to create new desk images with a transparent background. Whenever I try I get a white background. How can I create a transparent background?
Are there any other Adobe 2014 apps that will save transparent backgrounds?
That is a normal response when saving jpg files. Confirm thet effect with Tif, Psd and Png and if you are coming up with a white background when saving a file with a transparent background it may be time to reset Preferences for a possible remedy.
To reset Preferences:
If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.

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.

When I open a photo using elements the Adobe box pops up saying that the programme has unexpectedley quit? can anyone help me please as I have several photos to edit before the end of this month. Many thanks for any help
The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check. -
I have the photographer plan With Photoshop and Lightroom. Now suddenly The creative cloud app says that Lightroom isn´t installed. It is and how do i fix this. I don´t want to loose any pictures. Tried logging in and out. Also restarted my Imac with no luck.
This has nothing to do with your pictures. As long as LR works, nothing happens. The CC app merely has lost an entry in the installer database. Would a reinstall fix it? Sure. Is it necessary? Not really (until the next version or update). So unless you have too much time to spend or something isn't working, I'm sure you can find more interesting things to do with your tiem. Otherwise use the cleaner tool and get to it:

To get the best answer to your question, go to the forum that relates to the software you are using and then give complete details on what you have done. There are specific forums for Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere, Flash, etc.
Your question is too vague to make sense. -
Cannot get background image to appear in app made with jquery mobile
Not sure where to post this issue but i thought here might be a good place as it is related to Dreamweaver.
I am using jquery mobile and phonegap to develop an app and i'm a noob at this.
I just want to make a scalable image as a background. After searching stack overflow it seems this problem comes up alot but I've tried all solutions and they do not work! When viewing it in a web browser...all looks fine but when i run it on the emulator or download the test build to my android phone it does not show at all!!
I know that the jquery mobile stylesheets overwrite anything i try to custom style so i have gone in directly and targeted those elements
CSS:
.ui-page.ui-body-c {
background: url(jquery-mobile/images/phone-bg.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center center;
background-size:cover;
margin: 0; padding: 0;
Like I said, this works fine in a web broswer when testing and fine in Live mode but in the app build i can see nothing at all.
Has anyone got a good workaround/solution for this??? Because all suggestions i see in stack overflow just don't work...This is where your SpryHorizontal12.css file is looking for that image. It's 404 not found at that location (notice the path):
http://eappromotions.healthandperformancesolutions.net/eappromotions/EAP%20Promo%20Kit/htm l/images/top_nav_button.gif
Also, don't use spaces in file & folder names. It creates problems when spaces are converted to %20.

Change image from 300 to 72 dpi with Photoshop elements 13?
Want to buy an image for a Kindle cover which is only available in the size required by Kindle as a 300 dpi image.Can I change It to 72 dpi with my Photoshop elements 13?
So, on a copy I made of the image I want,I did go to "file", Then "save for Web", and made the long size 800 pixels, and saved that as JPEG..
But in that particular window, I didn't see "Constrain proportions" anywhere.
Yesterday,with that image, I did go "image" and then "resize", and did have checked "constrain proportions". That is, I'm presently working with a resized image, that includes a few text inserts and one simple custom shape..
But do I have to start with a fresh, Unedited image?
You continue to be marvelous help. I'm so grateful. -
How to open Raw images (NRW) from Nikon Coolpix p7800 with Photoshop elements 12?
I am not able to view/edit my images directly form card reader into PhotoShop Elements 12. This is why I am looking at this software. Need help. Viewed Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras but do not see how to download the plug in?
From the page you linked to, you need ACR 8.3 to open P7800 raw files. You probably just need to update your Photoshop Elements using Help / Updates. If that doesn’t work, then at least check what version of ACR plug-in you have using Help / About Plug-in / Camera Raw in case your ACR is new enough and something else is wrong.
