Transparent background layer become black when publishing on iWeb

Dears,
I used Photoshop CS to create a pic without background. As usual I made my selection, copied it, paste it on a new file. Then a deleted the background layer (tried with or without merging/flattting the pic) and saved it in .jpg but also in .pgn
When dropping the picture in iWeb 2.0.2, everything looks great. The picture does not have a background.
But when published on .mac, the background becomes black.
I tried almost everything when formatting the pic, although the backgr remains black.
Just before I made the same with a wind turbine pic and it worked perfectly.
See on: http://web.mac.com/daniel.daplincourt/daniel.daplincourt/Vide.html
Can anyone help me plsss?
Thank you!
Daniel

I have the same problem with the black backroung on my photo. I saved it over has a png but it still has the black background when I publish it to .mac. I would match it to the background color of iweb but I have a textured background. Is there a step that I am missing when I save it out to a PNG. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Captions w/Transparent Background Don't Show when Published

HELP! I've put together two captivates that on some slides
contain text on which I chose transparent background. They are not
showing up at all! I'm working in v3. Has anyone else come across
this?

GeekygURL, thanks for the suggestions. I double checked all
of this once you outlined it... The text is black, on white part of
the background of the movie. There is nothing else layered even
anywhere close. and the timing is that it's due to show up with no
delay, and show for the remainder of the slide.
I've developed quite a few flash animations with Captivate,
even with the quiz functionality... I'm generally quite technically
savvy and this is just leaving me baffeled. Anything else you might
suggest?
Oh, just to add... this is only with captions with the
transparent background... the others are all showing and timing
correctly. :(
Thanks, in advance, for everyones help!

How do I ensure that a semi-transparent background stays that way when converting a pptx file to PDF

I can't seem to get a semi-transparent background image when converting to PDF file. Every time I try it - the image converts to a full color - zero transparency background, muting out the text on the page.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi LeighAnnie,
If you're running Windows, you could try setting up the CreatePDF Desktop printer.

Images become unproportional when publishing

Please see below. This image was much wider in muse and when published in became unproportional.
And this is a button, on some pages it displays well and on others it loses its styling.

but i don't want this.
Place it pixel exact! Resampling means the image is placed at sub-pixel values. Aside from that you would also get softness if the image is not properly converted to the target color space and automatic conversion creates mix colors whose individual components blend differently with neighboring pixels, which in part is simply an artifact of on-screen simulation. In any case, you will only be able to get a proper barcode in CMYK/ Duotone/ Multichannel modes, where you can make sure it appears on the spot black ink separation so it does not get halftoned and loses its sharpness again. ideally it would even be native vector data...

Contents becomes black when using watermark

In Word for Mac the table of contents box turns black when you pdf or print it. there is a watermark in front of the contents that seems to cause this, when moved behind the contents box it disappears and 'fixes' the issue but this isn't really an
acceptable solution.
This does not happen in Win version of Word. There was a legacy issue that caused this when watermark was 'transparent' but this watermark is not. so it's a new bug.

How do I fix an error "4652747.png" when publishing my iWeb site to iMac?

Every time I try to publish my iWeb site to .Mac I get an error message that says there's an error in " ...files/ca4652747.png." I know this is an image file, but when i search for it on my hard drive it shows a blank image. I've tried deleting the file from the hard drive but when I re-publish, a second file "c00ff001c.png" on a different web page shows the same error. I can't figure out how to fix these errors. It publishes to a folder, or so it says, but i don't know how to check that. I am supposed to publish the entire site at the end of this week and have all the work done but can't get past this point. Can anyone help me? I'm a new mac user and this is my first shot at web design, so I've probably missed something obvious, but would appreciate any help.

k, try this:
backup your domain file! delete the one in the folder BUT HAVE A COPY OF IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. Then open iWeb, create something save it and publish it!
now go to your backuped file,make one more backup!!!!
move one of the backuped files into the Users/username/bblablabla folder and open iWeb. try publish all and see if it works!

How do I remove old web site when publishing new site with same URL in iweb? Hit replace when publishing new iweb site (so we could have control over changes) but new site name is attached to old via a / after our www address we want to keep.

I hit the replace when publishing the new iweb site (so we could have control over changes - last one was not an apple based site) but new site name is attached to old via a forward slash and underscore after our www address. Makes it very messy with a very long web address. Original address now followed by iweb site name followed by name of first page? Went for iweb as not that computer literate - all going so well?! Cheers for help in anticipation. Have to get off to work now but be great end to week if we could be sorted tonight. Rupes

Well yes of course, if you try and publish through iWeb there won't be an option to publish without your site folder which is exactly why I told you to download Cyberduck and use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server having published your site from iWeb to a local folder. That is what you need to do if you don't want your site name to be included in yoru url.
It would have been easier also if you had used Cyberduck initially to connect to your server and delete your old site yourself - at least that way you would have deleted the correct files rather than relying on your hosting service to do it and doing it incorrectly.
Download Cyberduck and then select the publish to a local folder option from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server, but rather than uploading the whole site folder and separate index file, upload ONLY the contents of your site folder and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.
It really isn't rocket science!

Solutions for "Unknown error occured" when publishing in iWeb

Many complaints where written on the forums about this annoying *"Unknown error occurred"* bug, while publishing in iWeb.
Until now, nobody could actually find the problem, but in most cases the problem is not a network connection, but an iWeb bug, that occurs during html files creation process.
I'm using iWeb a lot and through my work found several different solutions, that worked for me and for many other users. Try them all out, before going desperate and rebuilding the site from scratch:
1. Try closing and reopening iWeb (do it in all other steps between operations).
2. Try to publish the site Locally. If it works, try publishing to the server again.
3. Try publishing the ENTIRE site, first Locally, then to the server (File>Publish Entire Site). This operation forces iWeb to rebuild all the files from skratch.
4. Try closing iWeb and deleting the User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iweb.plist preferences file. iWeb will create a new one again next time it opens (don't worry, you will only lose iWeb preferences, but not your website)
5. If publishing locally worked, but online didn't, then upload the locally published site folder to your server manually using any FTP client.
6. If nothing works, try reinstalling iWeb. Before doing that, back-up your project file, which is located at +User/Library/Application Support/iWeb+ to some other location.
Also, as an advice, avoid using non web-safe names in your files and web pages. I.e. - don't use spaces and Capital letters, this may cause problems. For example, instead of naming a file: "Nice picture.jpg", name it: "nice_picture.jpg"
Post more solutions, if you have them.

Try signing out of the app (Store menu,) quitting the app, restarting the app and signing back in.

Error when publishing to iWeb

Alo,
Once again, I'm having problem publishing some of my websites. I have several web sites, all have been published via iWeb to .Mac, now MobileMe. The previous time, the problems just disappeared eventually & I was told due to migration problems @ .Mac side. Now, it's here again.
Publish Error
An error occurred while publishing file "/web/Sites/xxxx". Try publishing again later.
where xxxx is the site name.
Like before, in the case of publishing error, I'm able to publish to a folder. Any idea?
Many Thanks.
-MasterMoo

Have to admit, no problems with publishing to a local folder. I don't publish via ftp either, but still upload using Cyberduck.

After Effects: Why does my background revert to black when I export?

For a recent project, I chose a deep red background, but when I exported it, it was black!
Thanks for any help.

yancowles wrote:
Except that if you render directly out of AE, it does use the background colour of the comp.
The difference is that AME renders After Effects comps via the Dynamic Link protocol, which always assumes that an alpha channel is present (background is transparent) when it renders the After Effects comp. (This does not necessarily reflect whether or not the exported file has an alpha channel. You choose that in the export settings.)
As Todd says:
1) Best practice in After Effects is to use a colored solid layer if you want a colored background; it provides more control when compositing layers.
2) Please file a feature request if you'd like to see AME behave differently.

Background image displays differently when published

I am using Captivate 5. I did a software simulation and in Captivate the background image is correct (the one on the left) but when i preview it or publish it and view in the browser the colors are off (second image) ..I tried to play around with the brightness/sharpness but it did nothing dramatic...any suggestions?
Hi,

Hi there
Generally speaking, Optimized ofen works well too. I'm unsure of the file size differences (if any) between the two settings. Because the image quality improves it would be logical to assume that the file size will increase.
Cheers... Rick

Screens go black when publishing to html5 using captivate 6

HELP! I'm so frustrated. When I publish a particular file to html5, there are three screens that go black. You can hear audio, but there is just a black screen. It works perfectly fine when I preview the project (prior to publishing). I just downloaded the latest update and I've tried re-building those slides in a new blank project. Nothing seems to work. The slides just have text captions, highlight boxes and images. No effects.
Please help?!

I was able to publish successfully to html5, but the issue is occurring with publishing to mp4. Please help?

Graphics become illegible when published

Hi,
I've published a lot of graphics on my websites, and most come through fine -- both illustrations and photos. However, one illustration which displays perfectly on iWeb, but comes up looking badly out of focus on the published website. So too, on any of my illustrations, text comes out fuzzier in the published version than in the iWeb version. This is especially bad if I use a colored font rather than black font -- more bleed, I suppose you'd say.
Grizman

Grizman,
Hi there. Yes I have had this happen. I am not sure of the solution or if there is one.
But you are stating a phenomena that does occur. Apparently iweb renders non safe (web standard) fonts or fonts w/ effects such as shadow....as images. So the quality is different. Looks great in iweb b/c of the fact that it is still text but as it is published it is rendered as a graphic. This is so that other browsers can see the non-standard font.
I suppose you have checked out all this so......I'm not much help except to confirm your findings.
Do you have nonstandard font or one w/ effects? Or is the font too close to an image?
If all is well and you just have standard........you could possibly try a technique called textedit passthru.

Firefeox update 24 , becomes black when restoring the windows and also is blocking the close and minimize butons . How to FIX ?

Recently I have updatet to ff verzion 24 , since then Im experiencing that problem as i mentioned in a question.

Hello,
Please open Firefox in Safe Mode and see if the problem still occurs. You can launch Firefox into Safe Mode directly by holding down the Shift key when opening Firefox.
Click the 'Start in Safe Mode' button. NOT the 'Reset' button.
[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode then come out of safe mode and then continue following the instructions to identify the setting or add-on that is causing the problem. I would start by disabling hardware acceleration to see if that is the cause.
If the problem does occur in Safe Mode then I suggest doing a Firefox Reset. This will return Firefox to its default settings. You personal information will be saved (bookmarks etc) but you will need to reinstall your add-ons.
[[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
I hope this helps. Let me know if not.

Flash .swf file not appearing in browser when publishing from iWeb 3.02

I have been working on a site for the last couple of months that i created in iWeb 2.0 and had successfully had small flash movies that I embedded via html snippets from code provided by numerous sources and youtube videos demonstrating how to get flash movies into one's site.
The url is
www.almafoods.com
Today i upgraded to 3.02 and had to make a change to the home page. The domain opened up fine with all the HTML code and .swf on the page exactly as I had it in version 2.0
When I now publish to a folder, first of all it doesn't copy over the .swf file unless I create a link to the file, but even when I upload all the directories to my ISP's remote server, the movie isn't not showing up in the browser. The html code file and .swf file are in their correct directories on my ISP's remote server
I'm baffled as to what is going on here as its the exact same domain that worked perfectly in 2.0 and this has peed me off no end
Does anyone have any suggestions or encountered the same problem in 3.02?
Any advice would be very much appreciated

Your .swf files are in the same folder as the widget-markup files.
Keep your custom files OUTSIDE the folder with the sitename iWeb creates.
iWeb will overwrite everything when it needs to do that, wiping out your custom files.
Put the files in a separate folder and determine the link to these files.

Besides that, to display these tiny pictures I wouldn't use Flash.
