Transparency troubles

I'm using InDesign CS3 and I encounter the following problem. As soon as I add effects to an object (especially transparency) the whole page where the effect is applied(no matter wether master or else) gets affected: tekst becomes 'thinner', colors turn darker, pictures get less sharp ...
Very odd indeed. And annoying. I get the same problem as I place a psd photoshop with a transparent background file into the document.
Well, I am not a super-expert user but I am either not completely unable. Anyway, I did not have the same problem with C2. Does someone has an explanation/solution, or can help me anyhow?

I have been away for a couples of days. Sorry I didn't reply soon.
I do not have much trouble with text getting darker or alike. Although annoying I can work with it. My concerns refer to the colors of objects / boxes / logo's. As soon as I apply an effect (transparency especially, but also shadows and others...) the colored boxes turn darker and foto's gets 'foggy'. As you know these colors are part of trademarks and cannot be modified at all. It is like having the logo of CocaCola getting purple instead of red...
This does not only appears in ID and PDF. The print is affected as well, to an extent that the same color on facing pages acquires different tonalities.
By searching the forum I have found something promising as 'eliminating Yucky Discolored Box syndrome' and suggestions about flattening and so on. I will try them out.
Dave, thanx a lot. I will look at your suggestion. I hope I'll find the answer there. Excuse me wether i will come back here more often...

  • Urxvt true transparency troubles (titlebar goes transparent too)

    I'm running Openbox/GNOME under XGL/Xcompmgr with ATI's fglrx drivers.  I'm trying to enable true transparency for urxvt, but for some reason when I set the transparency in ~/.Xdefaults the entire window (including titlebar) become transparent. Furthermore, the titlebar becomes nearly invisible even though the terminal window is almost opaque.
    From what I've seen in screenshots, urxvt is supposed to make only the terminal portion of the window transparent.  Has anyone encountered the same problem?  Is there a workaround?
    Xcompmgr flags:
    xcompmgr -c -t-5 -l-5 -r4.2 -o.55
    Pertinent ~/.Xdefaults settings:
    urxvt*background: rgba:0000/0000/0000/eeee
    urxvt*fading: 10
    urxvt*shading: 30
    urxvt*tintColor: grey
    urxvt*depth: 32
    urxvt*inheritPixmap: true
    Thanks for any advice!

    I've done a lot of searching, both in the Arch forums and out of them, and I can't really find anything related to this.  I can find a bunch of posts about enabling transparency, but that's not the issue I'm having.
    This issue might be due to the convergence of several issues among xcompmgr, urxvt, and awesome. If there is a thread lurking around somewhere that I missed, I can't find it.

  • .PNG Transparency Trouble in Robohelp

    Hi! I'm trying to import a .PNG pic into my Robohelp file.
    The background of the .PNG is set to transparent, but when I pull
    into Robohelp, the background remains displayed. I've tried other
    picture formats that have worked (with diminsihing clarity) but
    want to know if I'm doing something wrong with the .PNG file.
    Thanks!!

    From my limited experience, your problems are related to
    incompatibility problems in general, not transparency per se.
    PNG comes in many sub-formats, and RoboHelp can deal with
    only a few limited sub-set.
    For example, we had a lot of problem by using PNGs that have
    16 colors. Instead, we need to convert them (back) to 256 colors.
    Also, if we compress PNG images, often RoboHelp does not deal
    with that very well.
    I am telling you all of this, because instead of focusing on
    the transparency itself, simply try a slightly different PNG format
    (number of colors, compression, etc.) or a different tool.
    We have used batch-conversion tools (IrfanView, etc.) with
    success for this purpose. It takes a bit of trial and error, but we
    established "rules" for PNG.
    We prefer PNG over GIF because their size is so much
    smaller.

  • Trouble buffering transparent gif

    I've been working on a fairly simple interface that allows multiple people to use sprites and walk around in a room conected through the internet. I've been having lots of the normal trouble with flickering but I had solved it with buffering. As soon as I started trying to use a transparent gif as the sprite the flickering returned. Here I have greatly simplified my program to basicaly just show the flickering after you hit connect so there is a lot of stuff that was used in the full version but is pointless here. If you make "sprite.gif" a normal gif there is no problem, but when its transparent there is noticeable flickering. Does anyone know why this happens?

  • [iPhone] - Troubles with the NavigationBar transparency - Possibily a bug

    Hi,
    It seems some people including me are having problems with the NavigationBar especially when we are trying to use the transparency as it is used in the Photo application (the photos are visible under the NavigationBar and ToolBar at the bottom).
    I found those threads, they seem to be having the same issue:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7446397
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7898350
    So this is what I've found (mostly using trial/error).
    After creating a new NavigationBar Application, I simply set the Top Bar "Simulated Metric" to "Translucent Black Navigation" and the "Status Bar" to "Translucent Black". Et voilà, the table view (which is the unique view) is displayed properly underneath as the images shows :
    http://www.sarahdery.com/IPhoneDev/NavigationControllerBug/1_INIB.png
    http://www.sarahdery.com/IPhoneDev/NavigationControllerBug/2_INIB.png
    http://www.sarahdery.com/IPhoneDev/NavigationControllerBug/3_SIMULATOR.png
    +However, I have not been able to change Status Bar's color to black on the simulator. It's black on Interface Builder, "default" on the Simulator.+
    Next, I tried to replace the table view with a simple UIView.
    http://www.sarahdery.com/IPhoneDev/NavigationControllerBug/4_INIB.png
    It seems to work on the Interface Builder, the ActivityIndicator is displayed underneath the NavigationBar. However, on the simulator it's quite something else :
    http://www.sarahdery.com/IPhoneDev/NavigationControllerBug/5_SIMULATOR.png
    As you can see, the ActivityIndicator has changed his position to be displayed under the NavigationBar.
    I believe this is a bug otherwise I would really appreciate to know how to fix this annoying problem.
    Thanks

    I am seeing this same issue. While i'm not certain it's a bug, it is proving to be rather elusive

  • Anybody having trouble pasting texture into the opacity masks box in the transparency window?

    Very frustrating, works sometimes, sometimes doesn't. When I cut and paste the texture into the "black box" in the transparency window it doesn't copy and appears white on my document.

    this is what I should get in the newest illustrator, but this was done in CS5 - I'm familiar with this process... just don't know why it works sometimes in the newest illustrator and sometimes it doesn't, it's frustrating.

  • ID CS5.5 Mac - Trouble printing custom size 13x21 transparency

    I am trying to print a positive transparency for a screen print. The document is 13x21. I have a 13 wide transparency roll from which I have cut a 21" piece. I'm printing to an EPSON 1400.
    I cannot get the file to output to this szie. It cuts off the image within in 8.5x11 boundary every time.
    I have:
    - set a custom size in the print dialog
    - clicked Page Setup in the print dialog and set the custom size there as well, ignoring the warning about it not being the ID print dialog
    - the preview in the dialog will look perfectly oriented to the correct size in the little thumbnail
    - I have tried everything I can think of to try and get the output sizes in sync and correct
    - I switched to PDF to try that, fail again
    Is there anyone that can help with some step by step of a process that will work?
    Adobe ID CS5.5, EPSON Stylus Photo 1400, Mac Lion 10.7.5
    I just can't comprehend how this could be so difficult and unintuitive. Any insight would be freaking wonderul.

    Wow! Sudden serendipitous conclusion to this insanely frustrating issue.
    I had found information that the EPSON 1400 should be able to print 44" long output by default. I was searching specifically to find folks that had printed large or panoramic imagery and stumbled onto a UK photography site where a person has mentioned he'd written software that would allow this printer to even print beyond 44". That sounded great.
    BUT, the last post on the thread a guy mentioned how he was able to print up to 44" to an EPSON 1400 with ease. The solution, he said, was that the WIDTH of the print area in the page setup must be LESS THAN 13". Why? No explanation.
    So I reset my custom size to 12.5x21 inches and BAM! First attempt from InDesign printed successfully. I can work with the margin.
    Anyway, in case anyone else runs into this issue this works. Here is a link to the 2009 post that mentions this as well as info regarding printing longer than 44".
    This one is solved.

  • Trouble making parts of image transparent in Photoshop CS3

    I have an image which is currently surrounded by a white background that I want to get rid of.
    So far I have selected all of the background and hit delete, which appears to have deleted all of the white background as it shows up transparent.
    However when I save the image as a TIFF an then open it up in Illustrator, the image still contains the white background.
    What am I doing wrong?

    This can't be done on a Background Layer. Promote it to a real layer by double clicking it in the Layers Palette. It suggests "Layer 0", which is fine.
    Then you can successfully delete the B/G colour. Did you see the chess board pattern?
    Maybe export as PSD or PNG before opening it in another application?

  • Photo shop files trouble ...transparent no longer transparent

    When i send a photoshot file with a transparent background to motion to work on it all seems to go well. But, when i save and go back to FCP the photoshop file is no longer transparent (has a white background). Can someone tell me the fix for this? What am I doing wrong?
    thanks,
    CC

    You should be able to double click on the photoshop file, as a sequence and find the white background layer. Then just delete it or copy and paste the other layers to your working sequence.
    You'll find that even when you hide a layer in photoshop final cut will import that layer and just hide it for you.

  • Trouble with Transparent Gateways Samples

    Hi,
    I have successfully installed and configured the gateway for Microsoft SQL Server on my database. Following the case studies come with the gateway installation for Microsoft SQL Server demonstration, I have no problem running case 1 through case 6. But I couldn't make the case 7 to work. Following are the errors:
    Table dropped.
    Table created.
    no rows selected
    DECLARE
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
    [Transparent gateway for MSSQL]
    ORA-06512: at line 4
    no rows selected
    What am I missing? Any special things I need to do in order to call a procedure on SQL Server? Thanks for any help.
    Jun Zhang

    Oracle is not case-sensitive, but many other databases are. Check to make sure the GetDept procedure exists on the SQL Server side. The name must match exactly. If it does not, (for example, it is Getdept), you will need to modify the sample code accordingly.
    There are also some comments in the , such as "Output parameters of stored procedures must be initialized to an empty string." and "...the procedure's access privileges must permit access by the gateway." So, it is possible this generic code does not work for SQL Server, and needs to be adjusted slightly. Try this:
    DECLARE
    DNAME VARCHAR2(14);
    BEGIN
    DNAME := NULL;
    "GetDept"@GTWLINK(10,DNAME);
    INSERT INTO LOCAL_GTW_DEPT VALUES (10, DNAME);
    END;

  • Having trouble with transparency?

    So I have a symbol named 'eyeball'. It's an eyeball. Eyeballs are white. When I try to drag the eyeball onto my character's face, the white disappears. 
    How do I fix this?

    The only way the white can disappear is if you make it so (or if the file/software is shot I suppose).  If the color itself is not set for transparency, check the object for an alpha setting.  Then check that the layer it's on is not set to be something other than a regular display layer.

  • Trouble using transparent gif in a PVII Menu Magic 2 submenu

    I am using PVII Menu Magic 2 to build a menu system that is
    image based. The submenu images have transparent backgrounds. When
    inserted into the menu, however, they display with a blue or black
    background. See attached page for a sample, under the "What's Hot"
    link here:
    http://www.annaknowsnails.com/WD/Artificial.htm
    I didn't have any luck searching PVII's KB or the Dreamweaver
    KB. I thought I'd ask here before emailing them directly. I'm not
    sur if I goofed something (very likely) or this extension pack just
    isn't compatible with transparent submenu images. If you have any
    ideas, I'd appreciate it.

  • MacBook Pro  Retina (Mid-2012) Yosemite: Crashing VERY Frequently.  Often While Loading Webpages.  I believe is a Graphics-Card Switching issue.  Have tried trouble shooting: "Disable Automatic Graphics Switching" and  "Reduced Transparency" no luck

    I believe I am experiencing the problems discussed in this article: http://www.macnn.com/articles/14/11/04/several.support.threads.discussing.issue. related.to.gpu.switching/
    However I am not sure.  I am not that tech savvy... Anyway my computer is becoming unusable.  Its truly driving me crazy.  Its worth noting that I would have this problem OCCASIONALLY while running Mavericks, since the update it has become far me frequent: Computer Restarts shows message "you computer has restarted because of a problem" or sometimes my screen just goes black, the sound still plays.  Pasted below is the error report.  Can anyone tell me, do I have the common problem as discussed in the article or something else?  I have had this machine for about 18 months, already had to replace the SSD, now this.  It looks like I maybe on my way to having a $3k paperweight.   Please help!

    Remove "Air Display" and see whether there's any change. If not, the logic board is faulty and must be replaced.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • How to make a JPanel transparent? Not able to do it with setOpaque(false)

    Hi all,
    I am writing a code to play a video and then draw some lines on the video. For that first I am playing the video on a visual component and I am trying to overlap a JPanel for drawing the lines. I am able to overlap the JPanel but I am not able to make it transparent. So I am able to draw lines but not able to see the video. So, I want to make the JPanel transparent so that I can see the video also... I am posting my code below
