When I copy an image with a transparent background into an image editing program like Photoshop, I get a black background

I'm wondering if there's a way to preserve transparency, or even change the color of the background to white.
I often need to get reference pictures for my artwork, and it is a pain to have to save every image and the black background often makes it difficult to see the image, especially when the image has only black pixels.
Help?

You can try to drag the image in a Photoshop window instead.<br />
If that still doesn't work then you need to save the image and open it in Photoshop.

  • Script to Sort Images with/without transparency?

    I've made this a new thread because I posted a similar question that was answered correctly in another thread about a sorting script for images with and without clipping paths.. I'm hoping the trend continues. (I could probably modify the script myself if I knew the proper syntax for image transparency.)
    So, my question simply is: Is there a script that will sort images (in my case psds) into two separate folders, one containing images with transparency, and one with images with no transparency (or, no layers).
    Any help with this, as always, would be very very much appreciated,
    Thanks!
    Andy

    Another reason to create this as a new thread of course is to help anyone else who may do a search on this particular scripting need .

  • When I copy an email message and paste it into a document, the font turns into all symbols.  What's the problem here?

    When I copy an email message and paste it into a document, the font becomes all symbols. What is wrong?

    To use images from the media browser, you must generate previews of the images first. It sounds like the "automatically generate previews for every new project" is turned off under Aperture >Preferences>Previews. To generate a preview for a photo to use in the media browser, right click it and select "update preview". The quality of the preview photo is determined by the settings in the Previews tab found under the Aperture>Preferences menu.

  • Photoshop won't open Raw images with my new Camera Canon 6D help! I use Photoshop CS5 extended version.

    Hello,
    I got a new camera and Photoshop and Lightroom won't open Raw images with my new Camera Canon 6D help! I use Photoshop CS5 extended version. and Lightroom 3

    Good news and bad news:
    The bad news is that you need CS6 or higher to open 6D RAWs. (The 6D didn't get support until Camera Raw 7.3; 7.0 premiered in CS6.) You can choose to upgrade (I'd recommend skipping CS6 and go straight for CC 2014 for $10/month) *OR*...
    ...the good news is that the DNG Converter can help you convert your RAWs into DNGs for use in CS5 and Lightroom 3.

  • Scanning (Into JPEG) of Plain Paper with few graphics results into multiple images on HP 3545

    Scanning (Into JPEG) of Plain Paper with few graphics results into multiple images.
    Whenever I scan a page which is almost a white paper, but has some graphics on it, then the Scanned Files is not a single, rather it becomes in multiple parts e.g. circle in one jpeg file, square in another jpeg file. However the scanning to PDF works fine. Please let me know if this is manufacturing defect or defect in the product I purchased. 

    This only happens if I scan plain paper with few graphics. But scan to jpeg is working fine if the page has multiple objects

  • How can i copy programs, like photoshop, excel, from an old macbook to my new one?

    HOw can I copy programs like photoshop, excel, ...., from my old macbook to my new one?

    Setup Assistent.
    When you first start the new Mac one of the first question will be do you wish to restore from another Mac. If the other Mac is on the network you can use Setup Assistent to migrate everything over from the old Mac to the new Mac.

  • I want to publish a simple text animation transparent but keep getting a black background?

    I want to publish a simple text animation transparent but keep getting a black background?

    trouble is, it's not always that straight forward if the initial animation has not been set to a transparent background, as you cant simply change/update the poster.png
    What I mean is, if the poster has been saved as non transparent once, the only wayto update it,  is to physically open the file and make it transparent, even then it doesnt always work especially working with OAM's
    hope that also helps

  • I shoot .nef with a D800e and am learning to edit these in Photoshop Camera Raw.  How to save edits?

    I shoot .nef with a D800e and am learning to edit these in Photoshop Camera Raw.  What is the best way to save for viewing and printing and sending to friends on a DVD? (TV viewing)  If I save edits as a tiff or jpeg does Photoshop remember the edits if I open the .nef picture again?  Do i really need three versions of each picture?  jpg, nef and photoshop raw, or what??    I have several thousand .nef and to convert to a photoshop raw format would take much disk space and yes I have three external drives of 1 - 3 TB. 
    What is my best practice?

    For that Nikon model you need ACR 8.3 that means CS6 or CC.  Or you can download the DNG converter convert your Nikon RAW files to Adobe RAW files. And then process the Adobe RAW files with CS5 ACR version  6.7

  • When I go to buy my Mac at the Apple Store, can they program Adobe Photoshop CS6 on it while I am there?

    When I go to buy my Mac at the Apple Store, can they program Adobe Photoshop CS6 on it while I am there?

    The online Apple store may offer to pre-load a version of CS6 for you, for the cost of the software package plus a few days set-up delay in shipping your Mac to you.
    The bricks and mortar stores do not sell software. It gets stale too fast.

  • Why all processed image with JAI will change into images with 96DPI?

    i think this is the disadvantage of JAI.I have an image with 300*300DPI.
    but when i read the image ,and saved it,it become an image with 96DPI.I truely need 300DPI.Does anyone can solve this problem.Thanks.

    I've just done a few more tests. Using the image I have described (a portrait with a Layer Mask, and in the Mask I have painted in black to remove certain parts), if I add a new layer and move it to the bottom the image doesn't change. When I fill the new layer with white, the image 'fattens'. Then when I SELECT ALL on the new layer, and Edit > Clear, the image slims down again.
    I can't get a grip on that. When I create a new layer, what is on the new layer? Why, when I fill that new layer with white, does the image 'fatten.'
    It seems to me I shouldn't have to create a new base layer and fill it with white to ensure that PS properly displays an image.
    If anyone wants to see the effect, I have uploaded the image (Tiff, 1.9 MB ) to:

  • My lock screen just shows a black background and a User Name/Password dialog after opening the screen from sleep. How do I get it back to where it blurs my desktop image with the dialog and my account image displayed?

    I'm not sure when it began, but now my Macbook Air only shows a black background and a User Name and Password dialog box when I wake it from sleep. It used to show my desktop background blurred with my user name and icon displayed with only a text field for entering my password. I'm currently using Yosemite (OS X 10.10.1) and all updates have been done. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I know this isn't a real problem, just an annoyance since I couldn't find how to change it back in the System Preferences.

    I just have to point out that after looking at a related post (https://discussions.apple.com/message/22661092#22661092), it brought to memory that my issue most certainly began happening after I added some DoD certificates to the keychain. This obviously has something to do with it, but it still leaves me wondering what actually causes this to happen. :/

  • Is it possible to get a black background when using Picture Book layout in iphoto?

    I want to customize the layouts more in iphoto--either be able to use a black background when using the Picture Book layout, or have more layout options in the Photo Essay layout.  Are either of these possible?
    Thanks!

    Yes.

  • When I Print To Acrobat I Get A Black Background

    Im using Acrobat Standard as a print driver
    When I print from another program to Acrobat my resulting file has a black background
    Im Using Acrobat Standard 11.0.08
    Windows 7 - 64 Bit
    The black and white colors should be the other way around

    This forum is for printing from Acrobat, not to Acrobat which actually uses Acrobat Distiller. I will move your post to the appropriate forum.
    The problem may be due to Acrobat/Distiller or it may be the output that Quickbooks is generating.

  • How do I create an image with a transparent shape?

    Hi
    This should be easy -
    The end result I want is this:
    a png which is mostly black (or any colour) but with a defined shape in it which is transparent.
    I have the shape. I select it. I seem to be able to make a mask from this (a selection which I can copy and move about). But what I can't figure out how
    is how to create a new image which is filled except for this masked area.
    Any help gratefully received.
    Thanks

    Open a blank, new file with foreground color green
    Type text
    Open effects palette, and in the drop-down go to bevels, then select "Simple Emboss" - it is the second one in my program. Apply
    Still in he effects palette, in the drop-down, go to visibility, select "Hide". Apply
    Double click the f icon on the text layer in the layers palette to bring up the Style settings dialog, and add a small stroke to better define the letters.
