Transparent Background Not Working

Hey guys, I have an image that I am trying to save just the foreground of and make the background transparent. I think Im doing everything correctly in photoshop, but when I embed the image into another photoshop file its on a white background instead of having no background like I want. Links are images of what it looks like while saving and what its embedding as in the next file.
Saving this as png: Gyazo - 9ef2fed6e86b8b081cdbf418160fce4f.png
When embedding in another photoshop project: Gyazo - 18fe30a53c01fa7dc8428a308d9c0269.png
Thank you for any help!
EDIT: It looks like the issue is in "Layer 3" in the first picture. It overlays white and black which is only partly opaque. Is there a different way to get this kind of adjustment (darken the middle and whiten the edges) in a way that doesn't interfere with the transparent background?

Good day!
Please post the images on this Forum directly.
And please post a screenshot with the Layers Panel (with Thumbnails) visible.

Transparency does not work.

Following code does not give me transparency beyond the circle. Circle is placed in the white square.... Whats strange is that if I run my application as Web Start, i get the transparency. In Standard Execution mode it does not work... NetBeans 6.8, JavaFX 1.2.1, Java 1.6u17 Windows 7 x64.
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.stage.StageStyle;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.shape.Circle;
Stage {
    style: StageStyle.TRANSPARENT
    scene: Scene {
        fill: Color.TRANSPARENT;
        content: [
            Circle {
                    centerX: 50
                    centerY: 50
                    radius: 50
}

In the code you haven't given the fill of *{color:#ff0000}Circle{color}* hence it is taking default fill i.e Black hence it looks like Transparency does not work
change code in circle like
fill:Color.TRANSPARENTI want circle to be black.... The problem is I have this circle placed on White Square Background... and background is supposed to be Transparent... On the end of this post I put the screenshot so you can see how it looks like...

What do you call "Standard Execution mode"? Running in Netbeans?In NetBeans in Project Properties in the Run section there is an Aplication Execution Model field which can be set to:
Standard Execution
Web Start

Run In Mobile Emulator
If I run above code in Standard Execution mode transparency does not work, i have white square background. If I run it in Web Start it does work properly. If just copy the above code into the text file and compile it using command line javafxc and run with javafx White Square Background is still Visible...

My transparency does not work on my iPhone and I was wondering how I fix that? It worked when I first downloaded ios7 but not now.

Hello wilsontot_too,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing on your iPhone. It sounds like you are not noticing transparency on your iPhone. It may be that you have "Increase Contrast" turned on in your iPhone settings.
I recommend verifying that Increase Contrast is turned off in Settings>General>Accessibility.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Transparent Watermark not working, background turns white

I have been sent a TIFF logo for a company and need to watermark some photos. I would like to do this via LR. I have version 4.4.
I loaded the file into PS6, in order to change it to a Jpeg OR PNG.... to upload into the LR watermark edit area.
I am unable to find PNG as an option in the "Save As" menu. So I tried "Save for Web".. I was able to save the file as a PNG, and when opened off the desktop, it does appear to be transparent. However, when uploaded into LR watermark graphic area... it suddenly has a white background again.
I am seriously ripping my hair out. I have watched a zillion tutorial and read a bunch of recommendations... and it's still not working.... HELP ME PLEASE. There is obviously some little detail or setting that isn't the same...
NOTE---> Not option for PNG in Save As menu....
SAVING AS PNG IN THE "SAVE FOR WEB" MENU... (I also tried selecting PNG-24) .. neither worked.
THE "TRANSPARENT" PNG File as it appears as a watermark.....

It already is in RGB... tried that... still no SAVE AS menu..... Also tried as 8bit and 16 bit....

Transparent text background not working on IE when I upload to bluehost

Is there any way around this? When I published to .mac, they worked for IE, but now that I'm using Cyberduck to send them to Bluehost account, the transparent backgrounds are covering the text, making it impossible to read or use any of the links.

Post the URL as "your site name at server name dot com". We can make the adjustments and the search engines won't pick it up.

Transparent PNG not working in Snow Leopard w Final Cut 3.5&4

I recently changed from a G5 mac to a Mac Pro. I had FCE HD 3.5 which supposedly is not supported in Snow leopard..although it did work.
Anyways, when dragging a PNG or PICT image to the base video layer, then dragging a transparent background(white)character image to a layer on top of that...I remember when i was in Macos X Tiger with FCE 3.5, after selecting the top layer and setting composite mode to SCREEN.. it would perfectly make the white background transparent. Awesome..
Well that hasn't worked since i switched to Snow leoplard. I thought it was a problem because i had FCE 3.5 so i bought FCE 4 yesterday
So i decided to upgrade and still doesn't work.
Instead of getting a transparent BG.. the top video layer where i placed the PNG image of a character with a white bg still has the white bg..and the inside of the character is semi transparent..
not what i want.
I even tried the new feature in FCE 4 where you go to Modify and Sepect ALPHA white. and that didn't work either.
What's going on.. ONly specific PNG formats have transparency in FCE???
By the way I'm exporting PNG out of a 3D program called DAZ Studio 3.That program doesn't have the ability to export as Animation CODEC( like in poser)or any other codec for that matter. it only exports movies as MOV or image series PNG or single PNG images.

Hi -
Here is a correctly formated PNG file with transparency.
You can download it to test in your sequence by Control-Clicking and selecting "Download Linked File As . . ." from the drop down menu [HERE|http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/Test.png]
You simply need to place it on a video track above any other clip to see if the effect works or not.
Please post if this graphic works for you.

CS5 export to transparent png - not working

I have tried every think I know to get a png optimized transparently though fireworks cs5. I have read prior forum post, and watched several tutorials indicating ways to do this and when i try they do not work.
I created the image in photoshop and exported it to a png file. Then i opened it in fireworks in an attempt to make the png much smaller. The image will be overlaying a patterned background on the web so needs to be totallly transparent. I've tried every combination of export option and still, when I put the image in my site there is a white background.
Ive tried png-8 with alpha transparency and changed the matte to nothing. The main window in fireworks never gets rid of the white background and when i export it's still white on my site.
I've tried png-32 with both alpha and index.
When i use the png exported from photoshop on my site it looks exactly how I want it, but the file size it too large so that's why Im putting it in fireworks but when i export it from there it's not transparent.
help!! - Kim

Sorry, i was not certain about your level...
You may be interested in knowing that another tool optimizes png files beyond what Fireworks can do - and I would avoid Photoshop's abysmal png export for production. As you are probably aware of, Photoshop's web export does not allow us to save an indexed png file with full transparency - something FW was always good at.
Try Color Quantizer: http://x128.ho.ua/color-quantizer.html
It allows for png files with full transparency to be saved with limited colour palettes exceeding 256 colours! With CQ you can optimize png files to the fullest, while still retaining an excellent visual quality, since you can optimize easily to a limited palette of, for example, 512 or 1024 (or a custom number of colours). Extremely useful.
It also optimizes the transparent areas, and will automatically remove any bitmap data from those areas (which are not visible).
And, even better, a simple quality mask brush tool assures you have maximum control over the inclusion of even tiny splotches of colour you wish to retain.
I have long left FW behind for my png optimization, because of CQ. It's brilliant, and still somewhat of a hidden gem. Try it out, you might be pleasantly surprised. And it's a free download.

Flash wmode="transparent" still not working in IE

Hello there :),
I read many threads about this OLD problem, but saw no real solution at all. The threads are mainly older.
A drop down menu is always hidden by a flash movie in IE though wmode is set to transparent. In FF it works just fine!
Has anyone in 2013 solved this problem regarding the IE?
Thank you very much :).

Sometimes it is just a trial and error. The main thing is since I'm not working with your files, I have to mimic your scenario as best I can. Make sure you give it exact positions when stacking actual videos or swf files to force them to overlap. I tested this first with just a swf file and now the example is swapped to stack to youtube embeds as examples.
It really shouldn't matter if it is a dropdown or what type of activity, as long as you have the stacking correct. You can also, generally set the one in back to opaque. I updated the code snippet because this one seemed to read better.

Transparent file not working in Flash/AS3, though works in html

Hello:
I have a .gif image with index transparency, which shows up
as I'd expect (i.e. with correct transparency) when incorporated
into a web page. However, the transparency does NOT show up in my
Flash swf. In ActionScript, I am using the Loader to load the
image, and the Bitmapdata that comes from this DOES have the
transparent property set to TRUE (I can see this in the debugger).
However, the transparency doesn't work. Thanks for any advice!

I realized what I was doing wrong. I wasn't calling
new BitmapData
with the transparency parameter and fillColor parameters.
Sorry to take up room on the board with something that should have
been obvious!

Save in Background not working in CS6

Do not see that the Save In Background is working. I have 300MB Tiff files that are being saved to the local harddisk in Windows 7 with CS6. It takes about 10 seconds to save the file both with and without Save in the Background being selected.

I don't think "save in the background" is meant to save files faster, but to allow you to work on other files as you are saving another.

Transparent background not staying transparent in dreamweaver

Hello all-
I am having an issue with importing a file with a transparent background into dreamweaver. I created the image with a transparent background, saved for web as a PNG, keeping the transparent background. When I pull the file into dreamweaver, the background of the image turns to yellow. Any ideas what I may or may not be doing?
I created the image in illustrator and pulled to photoshop to manipulate. I'm saving the image for web/devices from photoshop.
Thanks.
Brianne

You should repost in the Dreamweaver forum, this has nothing to do with color management.

Png with transparent background not rendering on the mac

I created a png with a transparent background for a header. It renders fine on the ipad and iphone but not on the mac. Is there a reason why? The header is on http://surfingthebluemarble.com/news.html
Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards,
umbre gachoong

If the header in question is the News on the Blue Marble header it seems to be rendering fine on the page and fine if I download the image to my system.
The background is transparent.

Desktop Backgrounds not working properly in Aperture/Mountain Lion

If I set my desktops with the default Apple backgrounds, all works well. I can log out and back in and the backgrounds are retained.
If I use the "change desktop background" dialogue box and set the backgrounds to photos from the Aperture library, when I log out and back in, all the backgrounds have reverted to the standard Mountain Lion background.
If I open Aperture (in Desktop 2) and select a photo, I can do File/Share/Set desktop and that will change Desktop 2 (but none of the other desktops) to the current image. THEN if I restart, desktop 2 will have retained the background I've chosen.
I've spoken to the Apple tech support, but only the Mountain Lion people can help me. They tried repairing permissions, terminal commands and all sorts but it didn't work.
The guy on Aperture support sent me some standard articles but nothing specific, and as my copy of Aperture is more than 90 days old he can't help any further. I am running the latest version, 3.3.2. I've done all the basics like rebuilding the library and repairing permissions etc... I've deleted the aperture preference file, and the desktop preference file. All to no avail.
Anyone help? Please!
Thanks,
Mark

Success! Well sort of. I went into Mission Control Preference Pane (in System Preferences) and fiddled about with a few ticks. The one that seemed to make the difference was the one called Show Dashboard As A Space. Make sure it's ticked. This is a bit of a bummer if you want multiple desktops with different personalised photo backgrounds but you don't want the dashboard as a space. It's still a fault Apple! So if someone finds this solved their issues then please don't mark the post as "this solved my problem", maybe just "this helped".
Because the issue is not resolved for those who don't want the dashboard as a space - those people can only have Apple's own backgrounds on their desktops! And it is worth point out that without the Show Desktop As Space box ticked, even with Mission Control set to just one background, the Aperture photo would not be reatained through log out and restart etc. AND the actual Desktop/Screen Saver preference dialogue box didn't work properly, taking ages to select a picture and the picture not changing on the background itself until the user threatens to exit the box. As I say though it all went swimmingly with the Show desktop as space box ticked.
Dear oh dear Apple, with every step "forward" you take there's always the odd lurch backwards into the murky days of Windows 1.0!

Trim Transparency is not working in Photoshop

I have a few of layers that have transparency, and I want to save them out as Transparent PNGs. For whatever reason when I saved it as a transparent PNG it is exporting it bigger than it should. It doesnt trim them to the non trasparent pixels, instead it renders them out at full size. I used both Save As and Save for Web… commands, and neither are trimming the files. When I tried File>Scripts>Export Layers To Files…, 5 out of 6 work perfectly when exported as PNG, but only once. I used layers mask on the layers and I check this last layer multiple times even floodin it with black and then marqueed a random area in white, and it still exports it at canvas size and WONT crop the images to just the visible pixels. Basically it is NOT ollowing the Alpha.
What is going on? I am in Photohosp CS6, and I am experiencing this issue on both MAC OS X and Windows.

Well it just did it, just not for one of my layers. So you telling all this time I have been exploiting a glitch, that has been working in my favor? lol
This is what I have:
In Flash it looks like this:
The multiple Body parts that are selected all the right sizes the BODY layer is LOCKED!!!!!
All of the OTHER layers are now LOCKED and the body layer is selected, and as you can see the border is WAY TO BIG!!!!!
