Trim Transparent Pixels while placing PSD

Hi
Would like to know is there any way of trimming the PSD files when placing them on to InDesign?
The PSD is of 4000px x 2500px whereas the actual product is only 1200x800px and when i fit the image proportionately, its calculating the transparent pixels, any suggestion on how this needs to be addressed?
-Bala

@Bala – there is an explicit UI command for that in PhotoShop: "Trim to Transparent Pixels" (I'm on a German version of PhotoShop, so I cannot tell the exact English phrase).
Zuschneiden => Trim
Basiert auf => Based on
transparenten Pixeln => transparent Pixels
Entfernen => Cut to
[x] Above     [x] Left
[x] Below     [x] Right
One could script that and use BridgeTalk to launch PhotoShop out of InDesign, do the trimming, and relink to InDesign.
You'll find some examples of BridgeTalk here around in the forum.
For scripting PhotoShop there is a different sub-forum.
Another solution, not recommended:
InDesign's ability for detect edges in a placed image.
But using PhotoShop will be far more accurate, not to say: precise…

  • Trim Transparent Pixels

    I cropped the photo to 16x20. With this crop I ended up with some transparent pixels on the right and left edges. I used the Trim tool to remove the transparent pixels. Question - after removing the transparent pixels with the Trim tool do I still have a full 16x20 photo ready for printing OR because I chopped off the transparent pixels my photo has shrunk to a slightly smaller size?

    I started with a photo that I cropped to 16x20. With this 16x20 crop I had some transparent pixels. I trimmed the transparent pixels off. By trimming did I decreased the size of the 16x20? I did NOT recrop after the trimming.

  • Wow! CS6 let's you click through transparent areas in placed psd's!

    I just noticed this, this is great!
    If you cut out the background of a photo in PS and then place that in AI, you can now select things behind it as long as you click on a transparent area. Knowhattamean? Before, in CS5, if you clicked there you would still select the PSD.
    Is there a list somewhere of all the improvements in AI CS6? You know the "little things"?

    Actually, no. I thought that for a moment too. If I had Select Object by Path Only selected then I would be able to select a psd only by clicking on the outer border of it.
    At some point when I first installed AI CS6, I was able to select the psd by clicking anywhere on the psd that wasn't transparent. And clicking in the transparent areas had no effect.
    I thought that was great. And that's what I lost and am trying to get back again.

  • Illustrator cs3 will not show placed .psd files

    I changed my computer to a vista based operating system and installed my creative suite 3. Everything was working fine but recently I am having challenges getting illustrator cs3 to show placed .PSD files. They appear to import but do not display. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue would be helpful. I already tried a repair/reinstall of illustrator but that did not work. I can place .psd images into In Design so I am not sure why illutrator is not allowing .PSD files to import and display.

    Harron K. Appleman wrote:
    Did you upgrade to 64-bit Vista by any chance?
    Are your PSD images 16-bit by any chance?
    The problem with this scenario is that since Illustrator, any version does not support 16 bit psd files and CS 3 and 4 will place the file anyway but give you a notice that it is placing it as 8 bit. So unless there is something about  Vista XP or W7 64 bit that prevents Illustrator fro converting then that is probably not the issue. And though the warning says it flattens it will preserve a transparent background.
    So it might be a different issue.

  • I want to delete all transparent pixels, how can I? CS6

    I would like to delete all transparent pixels surrounding my irregularly (non-square) image.  The TRIM function only trims to a square surrounding my image and not to the edge of the image itself.  Is there a work around for this?  I have looked around and haven't found one. 
    Thanks,
    JB

    Image have rectangular area they have a width and height boundaries as do layer.  Not all of the rectangular area need to have content or be fully opaque,  However the image boundary is a rectangle.  Some file formats are like a Photoshop Background layer do not support empty area or even transparency so those file formats only contain image that are rectangles and have no transparency. Some file formats support transparency and empty areas so those images can be any shape and contain transparency still the image boundary is rectangular. Then there is the GIF file format an oddball format. It only supports 256 Colors. Pixels are mapped to one of the 256 colors selected for the image.  If you want Transparency in a gif  the number of colors is reduced by 1 to 255  the 256 color now indicate no content its not real transparency it just a no color pixel in other words off or no content.
    So if you have areas that are 100% transparent there is nothing to delete the area is empty.  If you have pixels that contain some transparency and you delete those pixels you delete details are you sure you want to delete all pixels that contain transparency? You will loose things like drop shadows

  • How does one deal with transparency in a placed file in InDesign?

    I suppose this may seem elementary, but I'm relatively new to it so here goes:
    First off, my print shop says that placed images should be in EPS format. I'm creating my files in Illustrator and some of them use a gradient mask to fade an object away. When saved as an EPS, the gradient mask shows as a white box instead of fading into the background. When I copy/paste my Illustrator image into a new Photoshop file, save it as a PSD, bring that PSD into Illustrator and save it as an EPS, the whole file is in a white box.
    Example. I want those aisle markers to not be in white boxes.

    How does one deal with transparency in a placed image in InDesign?
    Thanks.

    If possible, one finds a new printer who can handle your files properly and doesn't insist on .eps.
    What format are you delivering to the Printer? If it's anything other than PDF (and that's at their request) all the more reason to reread the first sentence. Why on earth are you moving things from Illustrator to Photoshop and back to Illustrator? Either one of those will save as .eps (ugh), though you need to use a clipping path for transparent areas coming out of photoshop (don't really know how Illy handles it when you say to save .eps with transparent background), but you are FAR better off with either native .AI or .PSD, both of which support transparencey, unlike .eps.If yo are delivering PDF, as you should be, it makes no difference to the printer what format the placed content uses (and it shouldn't matter to him even with native files unless he's hopelessly stuck in the 90s).
    In any event, when importing from Illustrator, make sure to show the import options and check the transparent background box.

  • How to edit transparency pixels in a FilterPlugin?

    I want develop a fiter plugin of photoshop. while i am not clearly about some issues:
    (1) how does the photoshop provide the transparency data ( blank data ) to me ?
    in other words, i want obtain the "alpha" channel data, is this provided by the "inData" together with other channels?
    (2) I want to change the pixel's transparency, means i want change totally transparent pixels into
    opaque. how to do it ?
    (3) in the pluginName.r file，there are 7 entries in FilterCaseInfo like following. is there anything i must pay special attention to?
      FilterCaseInfo
        /* Flat data, no selection */
        inWhiteMat, outWhiteMat,
        doNotWriteOutsideSelection,
        filtersLayerMasks,
        worksWithBlankData,
        copySourceToDestination,
    By the way, When i invoke a filter (i develop it 2 yeas ago) on the transparency document , photoshop gives a messagebox said it canot invoke the fiter because the selection area is totally empty.
    if the area has both transparency and opaque pixels, then the plugin cause write access faled and made the photoshop crash ,  why does this happen, how to avoid it.
    Thanks a lot.!

    First off, don't confuse "alpha" with "transparency" they are different.
    If I create a RGB document with one layer and call the Dissolve example I get the following bits of information in the FilterRecord:
    planes = 4
    imageMode = 3 // plugInModeRGBColor
    filterCase = 4 // filterCaseEditableTransparencyNoSelection
    inLayerPlanes = 3
    inTransparencyMask = 1
    plane 0 = red, 1 = green, 2 = blue, 3 = transparency
    See DoFilter, the loop on the planes, and DissolveRectangle, the changing of the data on each plane, in the Dissolve.cpp example file.
    Now flatten the document and create an alpha channel and select all channels via the channels panel. Selecing just the alpha channel or any one channel will have different results.
    planes = 4
    imageMode = 3 // plugInModeRGBColor
    filterCase = 2 // filterCaseFlatImageWithSelection
    inLayerPlanes = 0
    inTransparencyMask = 0
    inNonLayerPlanes = 4
    There is some documentation about FilterCaseInfo in the Plug-in Resource Guide.pdf found in the documentation folder.

  • Crop document by transparent pixels

    Hi,
    I have a question on you. I need crop document by transparent pixels.
    But I don't know, how to do it.
    Document has function crop but it need width and height.
    Do you know function with transparent pixels??
    Than you Domaneni

    Here is an example.
    app.activeDocument.trim ( TrimType.TRANSPARENT );// assumes you want to trim all edges

  • How to color overlay on non-transparent pixels only?

    So I need help to make a layer that is a solid color that overlays over everything underneath it but only applies to non-transparent pixels. Is there any way to do this?

    Well see, there's a lot of layers underneath it and the things that I want the color to be overlayed on changes often because I only want a few layers shown at a time.
    Here, let me try to explain. I made a .psd file with a bunch of characters for a video game. All of the characters have the same body but different heads. I made layers for the body and all of the heads (the background is transparent.) The base layers of the heads and body is grey and then I created layers above them that were color and applied an overlay that was only as big as the head/body for every color. This quickly became tedius because of how many heads there were and I thought since the head and body are supposed to be the same color anyway I might as well created a layer that's a solid color above the heads and bodies that overlays everything. However, the problem is that color also covers the background and I only want the parts of the character to be colored.
    Also, what kind of adjustment layer? Would that still be applicable in this situation?

  • How do i stop PS from deleting transparent Pixels on layers?

    Hello community,
    i have a problem concering the place-function of Photoshop CS6. I want to include hundreds of png files in a psd file and i want them to keep their original size. Unfortinatly they have transparent borders and PS deletes these borders when you place the images in the PSD-file. For example: I have a square with x=50px and y=50px and it is positioned in an png with the dimensions x=100px and y=100px. I want to have these kind of files in my psd-file an need to keep their full dimensions, because my graphic specifications relate to the 100px/100px size and i need it later in my workflow.
    How do i stop PS from cutting off the tranparent borders of my images?

    Yes Free Transform has what was set during the place and you can see in the option bar if the layer has been scaled or is at 100 % width and height. You can also drag out guide line to the transforms bounding box. Then later measure the size or drop in a low opacity pixel in two diagonal corners to force the bounds to the png's canvas size.   However if you don't add those pixels in a script the bounds you get is that of the bounds of the non transparent pixels and in an action Ctrl|CMD clicking the layers content in the layers palette selects the non transparent pixels.
    My Photoshop Photo Collage populating scripts do not always fill an image area when they resizing odd shaped png images, However if the png is rectangular with transparent borders the script will fill the area with pixel for the scripts gets the bounds of the non transparent pixels, not the png canvas size. So resizing works well. There is a difference between layer size and canvas size in the png file. Layers can also be larger then canvas size in psd files Photoshop support any size layer you have the canvas act like a cropping mask on a document.

  • Is there a way to lock transparent pixels for more than one layer at a time?

    I've tried selecting multiple layers to modify but the lock transparent pixels box becomes greyed out once I've selected more than one layer. Apologies in advance if this is deemed to be a stupid question but it would be greatly appreciated if someone knows of a solution. It would be very handy for some of the projects I'm currently developing.
    Thanks.

    I have not had a problem in Photoshop CC 2014 as long as I selected a layer with transparency, in my case the gray checkerboard. The button would dim if I selected an adjustment layer.

  • Problem placing PSD file in Illustrator

    G'day,
    My problem is when i place PSD file into illustrator, it opens up "Photoshop Import Option" menu,
    which lets me choose either:
    (1) convert photoshop layers to objects (or)
    (2) Flatten photoshop layers to a single image
    all other options are greyed out (meaning i cannot select them)
    The above 2 options will embed the image into illustrator, thus when i update in photoshop, they will not auto update.
    I dont have this problem in the past (which means i dont get this menu when i use the place function) but it just poped up the last week.
    But when i open OLD illustrator files which have PSD images not embeded, i am able to edit the PSD and illustrator will auto update.
    Please help it is really frustrating to keep placing PSD files everytime when i have changes.
    Thanks!

    Hi Steve,
    May i know what is the place dialogue box are you referring to?
    The Place dialogue box that i get (when i press file>place) is the image below:
    As you can see i dont have any "link" button to check or uncheck. I can either flatten the psd or convert to object.
    My Problem is I would really like to link back the psd file for easy updates but i am not able to.
    Pls help thx!~

  • Change the permission while placing the file

    Hi Experts,
    I have a production issue :
    I am placing the .txt file into a SFTP server location from a SFTP Location[NO Transformation in the file]. (Sender and receiver channels are SFTP)
    I am using user- user1(for example) which have the read write access to the particular folder, hence when it places the file it places with 664 permission .(This permission gives only user1 as read/write access , but other user have read only access).
    The requirement :
    The user2 want to deletes the file from the particular folder location , they want to know by any means can PI change the permission while placing the file into that location so that user2 can also have read/write access.
    Can you provide the opinion whether it can be done using SFTP receiver channel or any other option to change the permission of the file.

    As far as i know the permissions are related to the folder and the User not for files
    While creating the access, a particular user authorizations related particular folder, not related to files.
    So this should be done some thing like by giving the read/write access to user2 as well
