Transparent logotype background in Photoshop

How do I create a transparent background for a logotype in Photoshop? I copy and pasted a logo from Illustrator onto a transparent ps background. Made a transparent layer and moved below the first layer. Save as tiff, eps and ps. None held the transparency. The logo will be used for print and web. Please advise.

The problem with printing could be your color management (CM) settings. Make sure you're only using Indesign's CM. Poke around in the printer dialogue boxes for the printer's CM settings and turn them off. One workaround might be to make everything sent to the Lasetjet raster graphics (see http://indesignsecrets.com/eliminating-ydb-yucky-discolored-box-syndrome.php). Hopefully someone with a little more transparency/cm knowledge can chime in.
You might kill the "answered" flag on this thread to entice some more readership.

how do i make a transparent background in Photoshop Elements 13

Open the picture file
Use one of the selection tools to select the foreground
Place the selection on its own layer (Layer>New>Layer via copy or CTRL+J) - this will be Layer 1
Delete the background layer
If you want to save it, use a file format which supports transparency, e.g.PNG

Transparent the background or compare 2 pdf documents

usully, the background of any pdf software is white.
I need transparent the backgroud of one pdf document.
I have an orgignal pdf document, I write a copy by MS word. I would like transparentize the copy, Then I can compare between the copy and the original.
Do you find any solution about transparent the background? Do you know any software pdf which can be transparentized?

A PDF page is not white - it's transparent. However in Acrobat or Adobe Reader you always see a white representation of the page, and that cannot be turned off.
You have two options - import one PDF into another as a layer, or open both files in another application (Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.).

Editing Backgrounds in PhotoShop

I've been trying to edit a couple of backgrounds in
PhotoShop. I am able to edit them with no problem, but them I'm
unsure what to do in order to get Captivate to recognize the
revised image. Am I supposed to save the revised image in PhotoShop
first? If so, in what format and in what folder? Maybe I'm not
using Update properly.
I also tried to save the revised image in PhotoShop and then
import it into Captivate. Still no luck. I get an error message:
"An error was encountered while loading the image."
Does anyone have any experience successfully editing
backgrounds & images? There must be a procedure to follow.
Thanks.

Hi Training22
I don't believe you said which version of Captivate you were
using, but my answer will assume it is version 2.
From the Library panel, right-click the desired image or
background. When you do this, you should see a context menu. On
this menu should be an option labeled "Edit with...". After
choosing this option, navigate to your image editor (Photoshop in
your case) and open the editor. Make your changes and close the
editor. Save the changes when prompted. After the image editor
closes, the Captivate image should automatically update to reflect
the changes.
Note, however, that if you inserted the image from a location
on your hard drive, this image is changed as well. So if you prefer
to keep the image in its pristine format, you will need to rename
it or make a copy before you modify it.
Cheers... Rick

Brush stroke pattern that i want to use as a background in Photoshop CS4.

I've painted a piece of paper with a brush stroke pattern that i want to use as a background in Photoshop CS4. I know how to make a fill layer and apply a colour to a shape, but can you do this for a pattern you've made? I also want to make the pattern a certain pink, and select an elipse in the middle which would just be a different colour section of the same pattern. Is this possible?

so this first is the pattern/image i want to change the colour of:
and below is how i want the colour changes to be specified to the two areas created by this elipse shape: i want to apply that sort of shape and colour differentiation to the texture/pattern/shape of the brush strokes.

Cp8 freezes when editing a Library background in Photoshop

Hi.
My issue is relating to the "round tripping" functionality between Cp8 and Photoshop. I use Cp8 on Windows 7 and Photoshop CS6.
Cp8 freezes up whenever I try to edit a background in Photoshop. It eventually responds but usually takes about a minute.
Then, when I make the edits in Photoshop, merge the layers and Save...it doesn't always "round trip" to Cp8...meaning the orig background is still there on the Cp8 stage.
Very weird since sometimes it works like a charm and others, not so much and also....I never had this issue when I was using Cp6.
Any ideas or advice would be great but I'd also like to know if this is happening to others...
Thanks!
K

CS6 is pretty old, compared with CP8. I'm not sure, because I use PS CC(2014) myself that this could be one of the causes of your issues? CP6 was released around the same time as CS6, but meanwhile lot happened in the CC-world. Anyway roundtripping Audition-CP will not be functional with an old version of Audition.
When you finished editing and saving in PS, do you see the red checkmark in Captivate, and did you try to update from there?

Image with transparent background in Photoshop and InDesign exports strangely to PDF...

Hey, I really hope you can help!
Ok, I've made a catalogue in InDesign and there is say, an orange border. I've imported an image to layer over the orange border and it has a clear background. In photoshop it has no background and is simply the black outline. However, when i export the Indesign to pdf and print it out, the logo is there with its black part, but it is inside a non-outlined box and the background is sort of transparent, it displays orange, but displays a weird hue of orange, and it stands out... ive got it with a few other pictures, not sure what im doing wrong when i save the image either in photoshop or when exporting or what! I'm self taught, (with the help of this forum and youtube) so ill really appreciate any help. I could post an image but on screen it looks ok, its only seen when i print the catalogue, it's really strange!!! it's not just my printer either - thought of that - ive tried it on three at three different locations and with different pdf files to see if it was just one image. Sadly it's a good 220 on one 108-page document!!
If you wish to chat rather than post, you can skype me as charmywoo
im just grateful of any help!!
Kind regards,
Charmaine
Using: Indesign and photoshop 5.5 and operating on pc win 7 - i can also edit on a mac if necessary (if it resolves the issue)

Thanks loads Bob, just as you posted that, i found that link on another thread and came back to post it and you beat me to the punch! So thanks loads!
So if my printer is going to print this catalogue in litho print, rather than digital, do i still have to go back and flatten etc ?? I've separated the catalogue off to 108 individual pages with bleeds etc and it looks like I've got a fun friday night opening each one of them !!! rats!!
thanks loads, kind regards,
Charmaine

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.

Non-transparent Background to Photoshop CS6

In CS6 the background of the application is no longer "transparent", instead it has a flat color backdrop to the whole application so that you cannot see what's underneath/behind Photoshop. This is different from CS5. Some people probably like this, but I hate it. Is there a way to turn this off?

Someone else posted this question already, and I recall reading the answer, but I don't have a Mac so I can't check up on the exact fix, but there's an option under the Window drop down menu that changes it back for you.

Is it possible to import an image w/ transparent background from photoshop?

Hello,
I was wondering if it's possible to import an image which contains a transparent part of it into Motion, so I can later add in images and videos underneath that layer.
Thanks for your time.

hi again,
there are two ways to do this. In Photoshop you can elect to have a transparent background, if you erase your image to show the chequered background, Motion will do the same.
Or from within Motion you can apply a mask to an image to have it show whats underneath. Apply the mask using the mask tools in the toolbar to the image, then step over to the Inspector, hit the mask tab and select the type as subtract. That will punch a hole in your image revealing whatever is underneath it.
thanks

Getting transparent background with photoshop text?

hi trying to do a simple menu idea with text created in photoshop ,i import the psd file ,with or without transparent background ,i always get a box around the text ,i want to be able to highlight the text when i click on it ,i can do it with the text in dvdstudio pro ,but the text in photoshop has cool effects ,so any ideas ,appreciate the help
thanks simon

Since it depends on how the equipment handles the processing of continuous tone and linework theres no single answer to that. Newer equipment seems to be getting away from the "dual-level" processing (I haven't seen this problem on output in a few years, but that doesn't mean it isn't still out there in some shops).
If the printer can handle the live transparency, that's a good sign, and you should send a PDF that is not flattened.

Transparent Background from Photoshop Prints with Background in InDesign

I created a picture in Photoshop with a transparent background. I saved it as a PDF to hold the transparency and then placed it into an InDesign file that has a blue background. On screen it looks fine, but when I print it there is a darker blue box around the picture. Obviously I am looking for the plain blue to show through behind the picture and not the box surrounding it. How do I remove that? Thanks for the help.

Rendering to a transparent background in Photoshop CS3

I have a filter that renders effects to the current layer. The only problem is that I need the effect to be rendered to a transparent layer. However, if I attempt to execute the filter on a transparent layer, the filter will state that the pixels are empty and that it cannot proceed. Is there anyway to render the effect on to a transparent layer? If not, is there any way to create one after it has been rendered? The effect is very complex, so magic wand tool or selection of any kind is out of the question.

Transparent logo background?

Mac OS10.4.11. Keynote 3.0.2
Logo created in Freehand.
I want to place a two colour logo (Call it "A&B") into KN on a colored background without its white picture box surrounding it. JPEG, TIFF, PDF files don't seem to work.
A Freehand vector EPS logo file works for me. A Photoshop EPS does not... it has a white box. What's the difference?
I sent the logo files to my client to use in his Windows Powerpoint. His logo files all have white boxes. He says the FH EPS file came in as a blank. What can I send him so the logo is clean... like it had a clipping path around it, without an actual clipping path?
His comments are:
I can take the jpeg and convert it to a websafe transparent background GIF in Corel PhotoPaint, but since it is a jpeg, the resolution is not high enough to produce a truly clean looking image.
I have a couple of programs that can open eps files. Both show that the image is completely blank and also indicate that in the image properties. If you have image content and I don’t the problem may be our email system stripping the content as a perceived threat. You could try imbedding the file in a zip file or emailing it to my home email where the filtering won’t be anywhere near as aggressive.
My question: What file format will work?
G4/1.25GHz

If you've got GraphicConverter, you can import your JPG, hit the background with the transparency wand, then save as either a GIF or PNG document to preserve the transparency. Of course, the initial resolution of the JPG will have some impact on the final result, but take a look and see if it's acceptable or not.
