Turning Negatives into Positives

How do you turn negatives into positives? I have been unable to find out how to do this so would be grateful for some help.

I’m using Adobe Photoshop Elements 9. 
I pressed F1 for the Help file.
I entered “convert negative to positive” in the search box.
The drop-down to the right of that entry shows that I’m using Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.
The very first “Result” is for Adobe Photoshop Elements 8, not Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.
It doesn’t do the job correctly.
There are no “Results” for Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.
How do I convert negative to positive in Adobe Photoshop Elements 9?

    Yeah, it's simple. You scan your images singly, then import them. Then, one by one adjust them. Under the adjustment brick, pull up the CURVES tool. It is one of dozens available from the pulldown menu on the left side.
    So, with your image in view, you click on the adjustment tool, select CURVES (which will be at the bottom of a few other adjustment sliders such as EXPOSURE) under the Histogram and then grab the bottom of the right hand curve and swing it all the way to the left. Then grab the left hand curve and drag it all the way to the right.
    The right curve represents highlights. The left curve represents shadows. Now the two are reversed. Your negative is now a positive. For added control, you can create mid-tone curves of your own and make finer adjustments. I haven't done this much so the experts might weigh in here with corrections and added advice.

  • I have a CanoScan Lide 700F scanner ,how do I scan Black and white neg.and turn them into positives?

    I am scaning all old pictures, docts,  slides ,but I have alot of b&w negs verious sizes, how can I turn  them into b&w positives??

    Hi Teddy.
    The MP Navigator EX software that was bundled with your CanoScan LiDE 700F can be used to scan your black and white negatives.  To use the MP Navigator, please follow these steps:
     1.  Start MP Navigator EX and open the Navigation Mode screen.
     2.  Point to Scan/Import and click Film.
     3.  Place the film on the Platen.
     4.  Click Specify... to set the document size and scanning resolution as required.
     5.  When setting is completed, click OK.
    Important
    Film may not be scanned correctly when Film Type in the Scan Settings dialog box is set to Auto. In that case, select the type of film in Film Type and scan again.
    Note
    To scan black and white film, it is recommended that you select Black and White Negative Film or Black and White Positive Film for Film Type in the Scan Settings dialog box.
     6.  Click Scan.  Preview scan starts.  When preview scan of the film is completed, the preview image appears.
    Important
    If a message for calibration appears, remove the film, then place the Film Adapter Unit over the first frame of the Film Guide and click OK.
     7.  When the calibration is completed, follow the on-screen instructions to load the film into the Film Guide, then click OK.
    Note
    Preview image does not appear when the Preview before scanning checkbox is not selected in the Scan Settings dialog box. The scanned images appear directly in the Thumbnail window.
     8.  Select the checkbox of the frame and click Scan.  When scanning is completed, the Scan Complete dialog box opens.
     9.  Select Scan or Exit. To scan another frame, place the Film Adapter Unit over the frame you want to scan, then select Scan. Select Exit to end.
    The scanned images appear in the Thumbnail window.
    10.  Edit the scanned images as required.  Use Edit Tools to rotate images, select a part of an image, etc.
    Note
    First select images to edit. (Selected images are outlined in orange.) Drag the mouse or use Shift + arrow keys to select multiple images.
    11.  Save the scanned images.

  • I scanned some black and white negatives into my computer (iMac) where they were stored aas positives on the hard disc. When I import them to iPhoto they turn back into negatives. How do I change them into positives for printing?

    I have scanned some black and white negatives into my computer(iMac) where they are stored on the hard disc as positives.When I import them into iPhoto to print they turn back into negatives.How do I turn them back into positives?

    That's because you scanned them as B/W photos and iPhoto 08 doesn't support the grayscale color profile.  You can either rescan them as color photos or export them as originals out of iPhoto to a folder on the desktop and applhy this Automator application, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB Profile, on them and then remimport into iPhoto. You can download it from  Toad's Cellar .  Be sure to read the warning on the website about not applying it on your only copies.

  • I scanned a black & white negative. Can I turn it into a positive in PS?

    I scanned a black & white negative. Can I turn it into a positive in PhotoShop?

    Check System Preferences>Accessibility and make sure 'invert colours' isn't ticked under 'Display'.

  • Image turns negative when cropping.

    When I try to crop in CS6 the image turns negative until I finish the crop when it goes back to positive. Anything I can do to stop this?

    Sounds like you have a display driver problem.
    If you're on a PC, go to the web site of the maker of your video card, locate their latest release for your hardware and OS, and download/install it.  Follow their instructions carefully.
    If you're on a Mac or can't get a display driver from online for some reason, in Photoshop go into Preferences - Performance, and try deconfiguring the advanced Graphics Processor mode to a lower setting or even turning it off.

  • HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000!!!!!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

    HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000!!!!!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE
    YOUR LIFE!
    I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A
    little while back,
    I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and
    came across an
    article similar to this that said you could make thousands of
    dollars within
    weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought,
    Yeah right,
    this must be a scam,but like most of us, I was curious, so I
    kept reading.
    Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names
    and address
    stated in the article. You then place your own name and
    address in the
    bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least
    200 newsgroups.
    (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after
    thinking it over, and
    talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I
    figured: what
    have I got to lose except 6
    stamps and $6.00, right? Then I invested the measly $6.00.
    Well GUESS
    WHAT!!...
    within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was
    shocked! I figured
    it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my
    first week, I
    made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a
    total of over
    $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's
    still growing.
    This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just
    over $42,000.00
    and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00,
    and 6 stamps,
    I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you
    how this works
    and most importantly, why it works....Also, make sure you
    print a copy of
    this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as
    you need it. I
    promise you
    that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will
    start making more
    money than you thought possible by doing something so easy!
    Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (Print it out
    or download
    it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come
    in! It's easy.
    It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage)
    IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is
    not illegal; and
    it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!! If all of the
    following
    instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary
    dividends.
    PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and
    $50,000 or more can
    be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful
    because of the
    honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue
    its success by
    carefully
    adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the
    Mail Order
    business. In this business your product is not solid and
    tangible, it's a
    service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists.
    Many large
    corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists.
    However, the
    money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income
    which is made
    from people like you and me asking to be included in that
    list. Here are the
    4 easy steps to success:
    STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the
    following on each piece
    of paper; PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST. Now get 6 US
    $1.00 bills and
    place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill
    will not be seen
    through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one
    paper in each of
    the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed
    envelopes, each
    with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and
    address, and a
    $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS
    ABSOLUTELY
    LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are
    paying for it!
    Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried
    about the
    legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S.
    Post Office
    (1-800-725-2161) and they
    confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to
    the following
    addresses:

    names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name

    article as close

    least 200
    newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All
    you need is 200,
    but remember, the more you post, the more money you make!
    This is perfectly
    legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302

    Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself
    and, whenever
    you need money, you can use it again, and again.
    PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because
    of the honesty
    and integrity of the participants and by their carefully
    adhering to the
    directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the
    program will
    continue and the money that so many others have received will
    come your way.
    NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to
    you, either on a
    computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you.
    This VERIFIES that
    you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good
    idea to wrap
    the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.)

    post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six
    members will

    when your name
    reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of
    dollars in
    CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of
    the first six
    people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the
    list and you're
    in business!
    ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------
    Step 1) You do
    not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
    posting. Simply put
    your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your
    cursor to the
    bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit
    menu. This will
    copy the entire letter into the computer's memory.
    Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at
    the top of the
    blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will
    paste a copy of
    the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the
    list.
    Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you
    want to do your
    postings in different settings, you'll always have this file
    to go back to.
    Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching
    for various
    newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
    discussions.) Step
    5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new
    message by
    highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from
    the edit menu.
    Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone
    sees as they
    scroll through the list of postings in a particular group,
    click the post
    message button. You're done with your first one!
    Congratulations...THAT'S
    IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and
    post away, after
    you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for
    each newsgroup!
    **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY
    YOU WILL MAKE!!
    BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**
    That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the
    world within days!
    You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large
    amount of mail
    you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can
    invent a name to
    use, as long as the postman will deliver it.
    **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY
    part: Out of
    200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
    example). So then I
    made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of
    the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200
    postings, each
    with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the
    original 5,
    that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200
    MINIMUM posts with
    my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an
    additional
    $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the
    MINIMUM 200 with my
    name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an
    additional
    $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625
    persons post a
    MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only
    receive 5 replies,
    that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those
    3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups
    with my name
    at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will
    receive
    $15,625,00!With an original investment of only $6.00!
    AMAZING! When your
    name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
    posting in the
    newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list,
    putting your
    name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to
    remember is:
    do you realize that thousands of people all over the world
    are joining the
    internet and reading these articles
    everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00
    and see if it
    really works?? I think so... People have said, "e;what if the
    plan is played
    out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the
    chances of that
    happening when there are tons of new honest users and new
    honest people who
    are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are
    willing to give it
    a try?
    Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with
    thousands of
    those joining the actual internet.
    Remember: play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work.

    post away, after
    you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for
    each newsgroup!
    **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY
    YOU WILL MAKE!!
    BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**
    That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the
    world within days!
    You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large
    amount of mail
    you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can
    invent a name to
    use, as long as the postman will deliver it.
    **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY
    part: Out of
    200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
    example). So then I
    made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of
    the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200
    postings, each
    with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the
    original 5,
    that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200
    MINIMUM posts with
    my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an
    additional
    $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the
    MINIMUM 200 with my
    name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an
    additional
    $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625
    persons post a
    MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only
    receive 5 replies,
    that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those
    3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups
    with my name
    at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will
    receive
    $15,625,00!With an original investment of only $6.00!
    AMAZING! When your
    name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
    posting in the
    newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list,
    putting your
    name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to
    remember is:
    do you realize that thousands of people all over the world
    are joining the
    internet and reading these articles
    everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00
    and see if it
    really works?? I think so... People have said, "e;what if the
    plan is played
    out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the
    chances of that
    happening when there are tons of new honest users and new
    honest people who
    are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are
    willing to give it
    a try?
    Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with
    thousands of
    those joining the actual internet.
    Remember: play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work.

  • Turn Photoshop into Corel PHOTO-PAINT

    At the request of a couple of Photoshop enthusiasts in these forums, they thought I should post this feature request.
    In a previous discussion, harry teasley wrote:
    May I suggest a single suggestion, "Turn Photoshop into Corel Photo-Paint"?
    In a previous discussion, Reynolds (Mark) wrote:
    [I] agree with Harry's…
    May I suggest a single suggestion, "Turn Photoshop into Corel Photo-Paint"?
    In support of Harry Teasley and Mark Reynolds, I have created these lists of features included in both packages, that if not ignored might win over some Corel PHOTO-PAINT fans. Not that Adobe Photoshop is hurting for more customer base, but you get the idea. Oh! And none of these suggestions would remove any of Photoshop's existing functionality!
    Here's a list of features that Corel PHOTO-PAINT has that Adobe Photoshop does NOT (as far as I know):
    Mouse wheel zoom snaps to 100%.
    Zoom tool actually zooms to selection bounds, even if it's greater than the document's bounds.
    Cutting, copying, pasting and deleting selected layers.
    File >> New From Clipboard.
    Renaming menu bar commands and moving/copying them around at will.
    Mapping arrow keys to keyboard shortcuts (CTRL+up and CTRL+down are my favorite)
    Interactive Object Transparency Tool (wineglass tool).
    Swatches panel width @ 1 swatch wide.
    Ability to have larger swatches.
    Click and hold on a swatch to see warmer, cooler, darker and lighter versions of that swatch.
    Clicking a layer in the document to toggle between transform, rotate, warp and perspective.
    If you select a layer, perform a single action on that layer, and undo that action, PP doesn't select the previous layer you had selected.
    Checkpoints.
    Reasonable price.
    And here's a list that neither Photoshop or Corel PHOTO-PAINT has (as far as I know):
    Creating new menu bar commands (wherever you want them) and assigning scripts to them.
    Mouse wheel zoom does not maintain position when zooming way out and back in.
    Brush strokes are not natural like Corel Painter and have a "skip rock" side-effect to them (yes, even with spacing set to 1 and smoothing checked).
    Adding an alpha channel to the standard color picker.
    Fully supported PNG alpha (even Photoshop creates artifacting that I've only seen present itself in Maya, but Pixelformer fixes the problem and saves the PNG appropriately). (more info)
    Granted, there are a couple of features that Photoshop has, even from a Corel PHOTO-PAINT-biased standpoint, that I find extremely beneficial!
    The first opened or newly-created document opens maximized (small thing, but very handy).
    Vector shapes (though, still not truly vector).
    Layer effects (and the drop shadows are flawless).
    The healing brush! Just awesome!
    I'm sure there are a multitude of other features within Adobe Photoshop that I will grow to love, but these are the ones that stick out to me now, after having been forced to use Photoshop over the last couple years.
    And I don't steal software either, so that's part of the reason I've grown up using Corel's products.

    He was trying to argue that Photoshop had a more reasonable price with Elements.
    I was only pointing out that Corel also has a cheaper alternative to PHOTO-PAINT. In fact, you can't even BUY PHOTO-PAINT solo. You have to buy the entire Graphics Suite.
    This wasn't always the case, however.

  • Convert color negatives to positives

    I am new to photoshop element 10.  I purchased for the purpose to process color negatives. ie convert negatives to positives.  I am copying the originals using my CamCorder to photograph the film.  I am not getting what I want using the "invert" process. I have taken the tutorial but it did not cover my subject. Some of my negatives are over 30 years old. Please help or direct me to where I can find my answers.
    Thank you
    George594

    Not being the professional here and thus not knowing what I "can't" do, but rather just going ahead and playing with Elements 10 on my Mac, can on occasion be somewhat gratifying. 
    For anyone interested I will follow through on my above comment using the two sets of examples below, same procedure for both:
    Using a homemade sunlight box and my little Panasonic Lumix Camera (sharp pics from 2 about inches away) I snapped the pictures of the color negatives and then I brought the now digitalized color negatives into Elements 10.
    Next I...
    cropped the negative image to desired size.
    Hit COMMAND I     (This inverts the image with a strong cyan color cast)
    then go to:
    LAYER -> duplicate layer     (always a good habit to get into)
    ENHANCE  ->  Auto Color Correction    ...or...   ->  Adjust Color  -> Remove Color Cast     ...or....  Adjust Color For Skin Tones   (or just play with it.. have fun with it..  see what can be done and what can't be done for real.)
    and finally  ENHANCE  -> Adjust Lighting  ->  Brightness/Contrast  to your personal preference.
    Then either save for the web to put onto a CD or DVD or print it out.     It may not professionally perfect, nor work as good as a $700 scanner, but it certainly works well enough for me....  Good luck to all.   bill

  • My adobe illustrator is in a foreign language. how can i turn it into english?

    my adobe illustrator is in a foreign language. how can i turn it into english?

    First please remember this is a public forum.  If you are going to respond to the thread via e-mail please remove your signature prior to responding.
    To resolve your difficulties you will need to go to the Language & Text preference pane.  Once there click on Edit List and remove all languages besides English.  You will then likely need to remove and reinstall the trial as the language setting I believe is set during the installation process.

  • When I define a variable in BO it automatically turns it into a detail

    i have made a user prompt in my report
    so the user can input a value that does not exist in universe so i can use it as condition or a filter,
    i have done this by using the followiing condition in the query
       object = object
    or
       object = ToPrompt("Give number")
    As you can see by the logic this condition will ALWAYS be true because object  = object  is always true. So this logic will not impact the rest of the query it will just allow to enter any value in the user prompt
    in the report when i try to create a new variable
    =ToNumber(UserResponse ("Query 1 with NEW_UNIV" , "Give number"))
    it automatically turns it into a detail and i cant change it to measure or dimension.
    is there a way to fix this
    thanks in advance

    some one answered in the following link

    Any Help?I know the update has only been out a while but if anyone has an idea why it is doing this, please let me know!

    But you are telling me something I already know.
    Be precise.
    It is not Pages '09 that is broken.
    I am back in Mavericks and testing Pages 5.2.
    There are improvements, we shall see how useful, but in less than a minute I have already discovered bugs.

  • Greetings from a Photoshop Newbie. I need a computer, preferably a Mac laptop, with some serious processing power. I take photos with a Pentax 645Z; files are 50MB raw. I upload from Adobe Bridge and manipulate the photo, sometimes turning them into files

    Greetings from a Photoshop Newbie. I need a computer, preferably a Mac laptop, with some serious processing power. I take photos with a Pentax 645Z; files are 50MB raw. I upload from Adobe Bridge and manipulate the photo, sometimes turning them into files in excess of 250MB. I cannot resize as the large files are needed for enlargements. Have all sorts of problems trying to manipulate, add effects and saving most large files. I need some serious processing power. Can anyone suggest what Mac i should purchase? I thank you in advance for your help :-)

    It sounds as if you're having some system-related problems now, unrelated to processing power as such. In particular, a buggy video driver can cause everything to slow to a crawl.
    Medium format files are big, true, but not so big as to cause significant slowdowns on a normally functioning and reasonably current computer. A laptop will always be slower than a well-equipped desktop system, though. Mac vs PC plays no part in this, performance is unrelated to platform.
    Bottlenecks are different in ACR and Photoshop, so that should give you a clue. ACR is computing-intensive and mostly limited by CPU speed. Photoshop, however, is mostly bandwidth-intensive and mainly limited by memory and disk throughput. It's also sensitive to GPU issues.

  • Invoice or Billing documents negative or positive signs in Tables

    Hi,
    How can we recognise the amount signs are negative or positive(+/-) in VBRK and VBRP tables for all Invoices and Billing documents.
    Is there any indicator in any other table will expain the sign when it is storing in database tables.
    for example: when i create a debit memo, how the configuration settings will decide negative or positive?
    Where can i find this indicators....
    Is this the right place to post this question, if not please guide me....
    Thanks,
    Fract
    Edited by: fract_get on Apr 13, 2010 5:11 PM

    The positive or negative signs will be applied based on the Order type Document category. The code is in standard SAP.
    Also For any custom condition types in pricing procedure, the positive or Negative signs will be applied based on the condition type defintion and also any routines assigned to the condition types.
    Regards
    Sai

  • How do I create a text style in CC libraries? Every time I drag and drop text into library form Photoshop or illustrator it turns it into a graphic.

    How do I create a text style in CC libraries? Every time I drag and drop text into library form Photoshop or illustrator it turns it into a graphic.
    If I select the text layer and click the text style button in the library it just creates a new text style for Myriad Pro 12pt - I'm not using that anywhere in my document.
    Can anyone help? Seems like a bug to me as I'm trying what the video tutorials are saying.
    Thanks

    I realize AI is an illustration program.
    Do you realize it is an object-based vector-based program? Do you know the difference between raster-based and vector-based content?
    My question seems to be all over the forum but no one has been able to answer other than exporting to these file formats, which make text look awful and of no use....
    And yet everyone else in the world makes proper web images every day using a plethora of programs, including these...go figure.
    Am I missing something?
    Yep. Pretty much.
    Hello Adobe! People use transparency on website logos.
    Hello, cocteau! What you're calling "transparency" is inherent to object-based vector artwork. But web browsers don't support object-based vector artwork, except via file formats like Flash and SVG, or by viewing as a PDF in a plug-in version of Reader. Raster imaging in general only supports "transparency" by either indexing a specific color (i.e.; "don't display this color", as in GIF) or including an alpha channel (i.e.; "blend all the pixels with existing pixels, based on values from this extra channel", as in PNG). It's all in the raster file format you use, cocteau; it has little-to-nothing to do specifically with Adobe software. Such things are among the most basic matters understood by someone doing web design.
    When I export an eps from .ai file, and open the eps in photoshop,...I save as a gif for the web, it goes back to the original problem...creates jagged text. I"m giving up on this garbage...Thanks a lot adobe! Lower the price of this software if this is all that can be done.
    Once it leaves Photoshop (or Illustrator, or whatever) as a non-proprietary raster image format, it's all about what the format can do re "transparency". You can do this stuff with most any graphics program. You should read about basic web design and the differences between raster and vector content, rather than rant.
