Where is magic transparency in preview

Has Preview dropped the feature that allows one to provide a transparent background to an image in Preview. The tools menu seems to have changed and I can't find the 'magic wand'tool that allows creation of a transparent background.

The tool will only appear when you are working with a file format that supports Alpha (png is the most common), however even then you have to click the annotations button (see screenshot).

  • HT2506 Where are signatures created in Preview stored?

    Where are signatures created in Preview stored?

    The Preview signature file is a .plist file found in the User Library>Containers>com.apple.Preview>Data>Library>Preferences.
    If you want to move a signature from one computer to another there is a very useful guide at:
    http://www.stuartcarnie.com/2011/08/transferring-preview-app-signatures-in.html
    In Stu's guide you can see that the file is encrypted in the Mac Keychain so you have to do some manipulation to copy the signatures.

  • TS3991 where are documents saved in preview?

    Where are PDF documents saved to icloud in Preview? Either on icloud.com or on any ios Device?  Honestly, where do they go?
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mme7d59147

    This is configurable... We can store the documents at file level other wise inside Database also.

  • Where Does Lightroom Store  Catalogs, Previews, and Backups?

    1.   By default, where does LR store:
    a. Catalogs (.lrcat)
    b. Previews (.lrdata)
    c. Backups of Catalogs and Previews
    2.  Can these locations be changed?
    2a. If so, how does one specify where LR will store each of the above?
    3. Is there a specific relationship of location the Catalog, the Preview, and the Backups, or any partial combination of those three,  must remain in?
    3a. If so, what is/are that/those relationships?

    a) By default in the Lightroom folder within My Pictures / Pictures
    b) Always in the same folder as the catalogue
    c) Wherever you tell it - which should be somewhere different. No backup of Previews.
    Re 2, just move the catalogue in Explorer / Finder, double click it. If you didn't move the Previews, LR starts a new one in the same folder as the catalogue, following (b) above.
    Re 3, answered above. Backups can / should be elsewhere and it's your choice where.
    Notice that in Catalog Settings there's a Show button that reveals where your catalogue is.

  • Transparency in preview

    I have several pdf's, png's, and tif's with transparent areas but shows up as white in the preview window. Anyway around this?
    Thanks a lot.

    It may be a temporary fix, but it is still a bug. With "show background" checked, it should show the background, as per the color chosen in preferences, not the checkerboard pattern. Changing the color does not work.

  • Where's the Java Print Preview Option?

    I've tested v13 for a few weeks now, and the only apparent problem I'm having surrounds the pdf printer. We have Adobe Pro-9 installed on our clients.
    When selecting Print Preview or Advanced Print, I can't get past the "Contract Manager pdf Printer" error.
    Previous versions provided a configuration option between Java and pdf... where'd that option go? I can't seem to locate it.
    Thanks in advance...

    There is no option anymore for Java printing vs ActiveX vs anything else. PDF printing is the only choice. What is the exact error message? Log in to the CM13 web server as the account used to start the service and verify the CM PDF Printer is available. If not, I believe you can install the PDF printer directly from the amyuni folder on the CD, then you may need to rename the printer to Contract Manager PDF Printer.

  • Where does Leopard store icon preview templates?

    I like the Finder's icon previews and am interested in learning more about them. I assume there are some sort of template stored in the System folder which are used to generate previews. But they presumably aren't icns files, and they aren't inside the Finder package, or in coretypes.bundle — where is the system getting them?

    I'm pretty sure about this. QuickLook.framework appears to include PNG resources that are not used by QuickLook proper, but that do contribute to preview icons.
    Here is a screenshot for reference: http://i56.tinypic.com/2v2jw3c.png
    The QuickLook window does not use any frame, other than the usual translucent grey, and a simple shadow. But the icons do use such elements as curled page corners and the movie's reflection.
    Note that I am using 10.5.8 -- maybe they aren't there in Snow Leopard?

  • Shapes are always transparent when previewing

    Hi all.
    I've just started using captivate and am already encountering a very frustrating problem. I have a photo background and a solid white square at 100% opacity on top. Simple right? Yet when I preview my project its as if the shape is 90% opacity. Same thing if I publish.
    I've tried creating a new file from scratch and every single time, no matter what the fill colour is, its transparent when it shouldn't be. I'm losing my mind, please help.

    Default caption style.
    It doesnt seem to be anything related to text. If I draw another shape like the one in this screenshot (also set to 100% transparency) it will appear to be 90-95% when I preview.

  • Where Did the App Icon Preview Go?

    Prior to version 11, there was a small thumbnail preview in the bottom-left corner of the iTunes window that displayed the icon of the selected app. Since updating to iTunes 11, this feature is nowhere to be found.
    This feature is crucial to me because I have nearly 800 apps in my library, and I must be able to quickly navigate through them.
    If Apple did away with this option, could you please direct me to instructions on how to downgrade back to the last stable version of iTunes 10??
    Thanks in advance!

    Reset
    Have you tried rebooting the device? Hold down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen. If this fails, connect it to a power source and try again holding them for at least 20 seconds.
    Reset Home Screen
    Reset All Settings
    Reset all settings on Device. On your Device, open Settings, then navigate to “General” in the left-hand pane. Scroll down and tap Reset, then select “Reset All Settings.” This will delete any stored WiFi passwords and Appleid login information, but can result in a more stable function. On the final screen you will restore your backup or “Setup as new device” to keep current info intact.

  • Where did the result page previews go?

    I've only just noticed that, when I do a search (using Google) I can no longer 'float' my cursor over a result and see a small 'preview' of the page on the right hand side of the result page. I think I remember it was highlighted by two light blue arrows >>.
    This used to be helpful when searching for a subject and a PDF result had it hidden within its pages; The 'preview' highlighted what I was looking for and made it easy to scroll through when opened.
    Is this a result of the latest Safari update (6.0.4), a preference I've somehow mis-clicked or because Google has counteracted this helpful tool?

    google have removed it - the 'cached' result is now via clicking a small down arrow next to the url in the result list
    As we’ve streamlined the results page, we’ve had to remove certain features, such as Instant Previews. 
    Instant previews saw very low usage by our users, and we’ve decided to focus on streamlining the page to benefit more users.

  • I can sign into my email account where it goes to "Email Preview", it's stuck on that page. I cannot retrieve my emails, address book, etc. Why can't I get my email page?

    When I sign into my email account I am brought to the "Email Preview" page. When I click on "email", "address book" or any of the other files, it tries to connect. In the box at the top it says "connect, then Zimbra, then connect again. Then I am brought right back to the "Email Preview" page.
    I can't even open individual emails from this page. I am stuck on this page.
    Altho, I can sign out.

    How about '''View Entire Inbox''', does that work?

  • Only first instance of show/hide on mouse rollover works in exported pdf, whereas all work in swf preview.

    I am trying to have all of the figures in a interactive pdf book show an expanded version when the mouse rollovers them and hides when the cursor rolls off. Now only the first one in the chapter file works in the pdf, but all work properly in the swf preview. None of the buttons overlap. Changing the order of the buttons just changes which one works. The cursor changes into a hand when the mouse rollovers any of the trigger buttons, indicating that they all are being recognized as triggers.
    I am using InDesign CC 2014, Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.09, and Windows 7 Enterprise.
    Thanks in advance.

    Somehow the interactive pdf generated by InDesign loses every name of the objects upon which triggers are supposed to act except for the first trigger. I was able to use Acrobat Pro to look at each trigger and assign the correct object to show upon mouseover and hide upon mouseoff. This works fine now, but it adds substantial amount of work because if I make any change to the InDesign file, I have to modify every trigger in the pdf file again.
    One would hope that Adobe would address this bug in the Interactive PDF export.
    Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Where have the psb file previews gone with PS CC?

    I've just worked on a large 16 bit image file in PS CC and saved it as a 4Gb .psb file and now I no longer see a preview in the OS or Bridge, just a PS icon. This is a major issue for me as I work with large files all the time and therefore have to save layered psb files on a daily basis. The lack of previews now when working with PS CC is more than an inconvenience. With CS6 I get psb previews ok.
    Any ideas? I tested two systems running Snow Leopard and latest Mountain Lion to no avail. I also already tried removing all caches, ran utilities to clean and repair permissions etc.
    Is this a bug in PS CC?
    Any helpful suggestions would be most welcome but I will reluctantly be going back to CS6 until this is solved.
    Cheers
    Morgan

    Thanks. I have now posted the question there. I have found yet more bugs in the last few mins using PS CC so I will keep relaying my findings as I feel like a beta tester already. Oh joy.
