Transparent graphic not completely transparent

I have a line graph on which a gradient arc has been built in the lower left corner. This was in a Freehand file (created by a coworker) I've imported into Illustrator CS2 and am updating.
In this file I am importing a graphic from Photoshop that has a transparent background.
The entire graph, including the line and type shows through the transparent background of the imported graphic.
But the areas of the gradient arc under the imported graphic show a white box where the transparent background should be. If I move the graphic with the transparent background to the back, the gradient arc covers it.
When this graphic is selected, clipping path is greyed out under the Object menu.
How do I get the gradient arc to show through the transparent areas of the graphic?

Here are the screenshots. As you see, the skull graphic is transparent to all but the green-shaded arc.

Transparency Mask not completely transparent

I'm making a B&W gradient transparency mask for an object (like I've done 1000 times before). Except this time, it's not taking my object to complete transparency. Even at the whitest portions, it's like 20% opaque.
I have my main object. I select it, choose "Mask Transp Mask". I then draw a rectangle around my shape and fill it with a B&W linear gradient. It should feather my main object to complete transparency, right?
What am I missing?

Actually I just figured out a way to fix it, not sure if as-is its a bug or not, but...

Itunes opens, but not completely (transparent)

First, I uploaded iTunes using a CD. Then I tried downloading from the iTunes website. Both times I get the same result...
When I double-click the iTunes shortcut on my desktop, iTunes opens but not completely. Only the text becomes visible (like File Edit View...across the top. And some text toward the bottom of the program). Everything else seems to be transparent. Any help would be great.

I thinks some folks got it to work by updating the PC's DirectX stuff

Getting an image inside of a CSS created background transparency to NOT be transparent

I created a div with a partially transparent background color. That is working great. But, inside that div I placed an image and that image is also partially transparent, which I do not want. I want the image to be 100% opaque. I have tried and failed with a variety of styles.
Here is the CSS that makes the background color partially transparent.
#home-text {
    width: 873px;
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-left: auto;
    color: #000;
    background-color: #E4CC92;
    /* for IE */
filter:alpha(opacity=70);
    /* CSS3 standard */
opacity:0.7;
    margin-top: 725px;
    padding-top: 10px;
    padding-left: 35px;
    padding-right: 10px;
    padding-bottom: 20px;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-weight: normal;
    font-size: 12px;
    border: 2px solid #421206;
Thank you for any help.

I'm afraid opacity effects everything inside the container.
As a workaround, apply a semi-transparent PNG background-image to your container. This will give the 'see through' effect without degrading opacity on text & images.

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.

Transparent Gradient not-so-transparent

Hey, I'm having troubles with applying a gradient tool to a rectangular marquee in Photoshop CS3 for Mac OS X 5.8. Instead of getting a black color to fade into the background, I just get the black color. And I'm click and dragging about 1.5 inches long. Sometimes I end up covering the entire picture with that color, not just the object (even though the object is selected). Gradient maps and layer masks don't seem to work. Help?

Wow, it's been a long time since I used CS3.
But in the Gradient dialog of more current versions, it looks like this:
The Opacity is the top row, and the color is the bottom row. (Note the color for both ends of the gradient is black. Only the opacity changes.)
Hope that helps.

Hi,
We almost had the same requirement, but we just needed to color a specific column.
Here goes the solution to that, you might do the same for your row highlighting
Changes are required in jsff and one method to be added in backing bean
1. JSFF :
<af:column headerText="Amount"
                 id="c4" width="100"
                 inlineStyle="#{backingBeanScope.BackingBean.cellColor}">2. Backing Bean
//searchResultTableVO is Table's VO
public String getCellColor() {
      FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
      ExpressionFactory ef = ctx.getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
      ValueExpression ve = ef.createValueExpression(ctx.getELContext(), "#{row}", FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding.class);
      FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding node = (FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding)ve.getValue(ctx.getELContext());
      Row row = node.getRow();
    if(row.equals(searchResultTableVO.getCurrentRow())){
//You can add your inline style for font-style too
      return "background-color:Red;";
         return null;
}Hope this is helpful :)

Premiere Pro is not interpreting transparency correctly with the Adobe Creative Cloud 1.8.0.447 update

Yesterday, I updated to Adobe Creative Cloud 1.8.0.447. I found that after the update, both Premiere Pro CC (2014) and Premiere Pro CC are not ready transparency layers and alpha layers correctly. I have some lower third logos that I use on multiple projects and they are showing up more opaque than they should. Additionally, I have an export preset that uses a watermark. This watermark is showing up more opaque than it should too. I have checked both graphics in After Effects with the new Creative Cloud update and all graphics look fine. It seems to be an issue that is isolated in Premiere. The issue only happens when there is a video layer underneath the graphics. When the graphics are viewed with no video layer underneath, the transparency looks as it should. I have attached a few images showing the problems. They show graphics with and without video layers beneath.

I was able to resolve the issue by going into File>Project Settings>General and changing the Render from GPU Acceleration (OpenCL) to Software Only. It appears there is an issue with the AMD FirePro D500 graphics card. I was told by a call tech at Adobe that there are issues with the D300, D500, and D700 Graphics cards. However, I have an Intel Iris graphics card on my MacBook Pro and was having the same transparency issue. So, I'm skeptical that the issue is just with the graphics card. The transparency issue did not start on BOTH computers until the latest CC upgrade. For now, the Software Only renderer option fixes the issue. I hope to see a fix in the next CC update. FYI: The Renderer needs to be changed to Software Only in both Premiere Pro Project Settings and Media Encoder Preferences.

Making footage in CS 5.5 with completely transparent background. How?

The footage is a man speaking. With this man speaking I want nothing else to show other than the man speaking. No background. I want it completely transparent, other than the man speaking. A good example is http://www.videotile.co.uk/ . This footage is going to go onto a company’s webpage. I gather that I have to export the file into a FLV format or AVI. I can either go through After effects or directly to Flash professional. I can get the background completely transparent through After Effects but I can only export the footage as either a SWL file or a XFL file. I tried the SWL file and loaded it up in Flash Professional. I have gone to the “Publish settings and changed the window mode to transparent and published that. Once I save the file as a HTML and open it up, the page is blank? Could someone help me out, would appreciate that greatly.

Transparent video 'overlays' on a web page are usually done in Flash by setting the SWF's stage to transparent (using Flashvars wmode=transparent) - but of course the video file would need an alpha channel and be supported by Flash Player (FLV, not AVI or Quicktime).
Adobe have depreciated creation of the FLV format in Creative Cloud, and using wmode=transparent is strongly discouraged as it forces Flash Player to disable the hardware-accelerated rendering mode.
It's possible to do a frame-by-frame alpha calculation using HTML5 but it's poorly supported and processor intensive. See HTML5 Video with alpha transparency

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.

Transparent Graphics Image

Hey all,
I have a couple questions regarding using a JPanel's Graphics object to get a an Image object and use that object as a "face" of 3D cube in Java3D.
Right now, thanks to the help of many of you guys, I have gotten what I want. That is a cube that has painted on it the Graphics stuff from some JPanel. Now I want more.
Is there a way to set the background to transparent instead of a certain color. I want to do this because I have two parallel planes that have something painted on them. I want to look straight onto the top one, and where there are "gaps" (where you would usually see the background color), you will instead see the plane behind it.
Another thing is that I have mouse stuff implemented so you can move and rotate the 3D figure. If I flip around this 3D cube thing, of course I can't see the back (its just black). Is there anyway to have the back just show the front.
What I am going for here is like drawing the Graphics stuff on a clear glass. Where there is nothing drawn, you can see through, and from the back, you can see through the glass to see the contents (backwards of course).
Any ideas?
Let me know if my descriptions are too vague.
Thanks,
armand

Ok here is when I'm actually drawing the panel painting on the plane (i do the same for each plane):
//... define points for plane
Appearance appear = new Appearance();
TextureLoader loader = new TextureLoader(bimage);
ImageComponent2D image = loader.getImage();
Material m = new Material();
m.setDiffuseColor(0.1f,0.9f,0.9f);
m.setSpecularColor(1.0f,0.0f,0.0f);
m.setAmbientColor(0.9f,0.9f,0.9f);
m.setShininess(25.0f);
appear.setMaterial(m);
// can't use parameterless constuctor
Texture2D texture = new Texture2D(Texture.BASE_LEVEL, Texture.RGBA,
image.getWidth(), image.getHeight());
texture.setImage(0, image);
appear.setTexture(texture);
TransparencyAttributes ta =
new TransparencyAttributes(TransparencyAttributes.NICEST,0.7F);
appear.setTransparencyAttributes(ta);
return new Shape3D(plane, appear);
For the JPanel paintings, I tried to set the background color to transparent- the alpha value. While the JPanel's background is semi-transparent, I think when I capture it, it does not retain the semi-transparency. It just grabs whats on the screen- like if I wanted to print (I use the same idea for printing).
I know my planes are transparent, because if I comment out the line
appear.setTexture(texture);
I get two transparent planes- I can see through them. As soon as I add the above line- which actually paints the JPanel painting on the transparent planes- I loose transparency.
So I figure its something I need to do with the texture object, but I cant seem to get anywhere. Any help?
thanks,

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.

How do I make a completely Transparent Button in Flash Builder

Hello, I am building an app and need a completely transparent button, Ive tried making one but nothing would happen when you clicked on it.
Thanks for the help.

Try this alpha="0.001"
Also add useHandCursor="true" and buttonMode="true" if you wish to have the hand cursor appear on hover.
example x="10" y="10" width="169" height="54" label="Button" alpha="0.001" useHandCursor="true" buttonMode="true"

Not fully transparent when exported little white dots around images

I don't know if I should just copy from the illustrator file while in the program and paste into my indesign document directly or export as some other file. I've done the export as EPS before so I went with that. However my images that I drew in illustrator with a brush tool and colored are not full transparent. I see little white spots I don't know if that's because indesign shows them like that or are they actually there. I am combining images because I drew parts separately as opposed to drawing the whole scene together because I wanted to move certain characters/objects/scenery. My question is are the little white spots actually there or is that just that indesign displays it that way? I exported them with the default settings as EPS in illustrator with transparency. I didn't change any settings. Thank you in advance. Oh and I use illustrator cs5.1

so basically only PDF and AI files are able to hold transparency? or are there other formats? In that case what should be a good format for professional print when I have a logo or image that has transparent parts? (In illustrator that would be any part you haven't colored correct?) I've gotten EPS files though that have transparency. Or maybe I'm using transparency wrong I mean like for example you if I made a logo the edges of the logo would be clean but in my case it isn't. there are little white spots as if my background was filled with paintbucket tool in photoshop and removing it with the magic eraser tool from the white background I filled in. I don't mean transparency as in the opacity but as in the background being transparent. Sorry for the confusion!
Example:

Latest Adobe Acrobat X doesn't support PNG transparent graphic?

So in the past using version 8.x I had no problem inserting graphics, including a signature that is a transparent PNG. Now with the update to the latest studio 5.5 which came with Acrobat X 10.1.1 when trying to insert that graphic (which took a while to figure out how to do, edit object, right click ,insert image), it blocks out the lines/etc that are part of the document (it doesn't block out the other fields where I put edit fields), but it shouldn't be because it's a transparent graphic (PNG).

After reading a few other articles in this forum about smilar problems I found the answer myself: While Photoshop uses the ICA driver provided by Apple Acrobat doesn't. Acrobat requires the installation of the drivers and software provided by EPSON. This package can be found on the EPSON web site, but only when searching for drivers for Mac OS X.6 that also run on OS X.7.
