Where is my gif & tiff with transparency?

I saved a part of picture as both a gif & a tiff which was to include transparency.  I wanted to see the difference in file size & quality.  I went back to Organizer expecting to find the pictures but they aren't displayed.  I tried importing the pictures but once I had selected them it says that it can't probably because they are already in my catalog.  Well if they aren't in my catalog I can't see them.  I can see them if I go to them using Windows Explorer.  If they display in the Organizer where are they or do I have to change some setting?

Try searching the file through the Find menu. In case you want to just see the file info in organizer, you can make a new catalog, import the images and check the properties of the image.

  • Save jpg or tiff with transparent background

    How do you save a jpg image of something (ART) created with a transparent background so that it can be printed on fabric?

    AppleWorks doesn't handle transparency well, even using formats such as .gif or .png saved with transparent backgrounds in another application. However, a few years ago I accidentally discovered that if an object is flipped or rotated in AppleWorks, the background will become transparent. The object doesn't even have to be .gif or .png & have transparency.
    Once I discovered this, I used GraphicConverter to flip an image horizontally & save it as a PICT. Then I insert the object in my AppleWorks document & flip it back. I use PICT because it is the only graphic format that will retain the native resolution. All other graphic formats are changed to 72 dpi by AppleWorks.
    Unfortunately, the last few times I tried this, it no longer worked. For myself, I use Pages for this kind of work now. I handles transparency very well.

  • GIF file with transparent background (white spots)

    Hii. I've been having a problem. I was trying to make a signature earlier with gif on photoshop cs5. I tried making it with a transparent background and when I put it up on the forum, it gave me white spots. It's not noticeable with a white background as the spots are white, but with another color background, it would show. Can someone tell me why?
    -- this is the image i made with a transparent background. and because it didn't work out, I decided to not use a transparent background and used a color of the background of the forum which was off gray. I know i have erased all of the white spots in the transparent file becuase it seems perfectly fine in the one with a gray background.
    Can someone fill me in on as to what i am doing wrong?

    Gif only supports 1 bit transparency: either on or off. The edges of your artwork are anti-aliased, and these cannot be converted neatly without setting the matte colour in the save for web dialog.
    With Gif you have two option: either live with the coloured fringe surrounding your artwork (and it will only display correct when the background color matches the matte colour, or remove every single anti-aliased pixel, effectively creating a perfect sharp pixel edge.
    Neither options are great: with the first option you always run the risk of ugly artifacts around the edges when the background color does not match, and with a perfect pixel edge it may look somewhat jaggy.
    Solution: avoid Gif, and instead save as a fully transparent PNG. File size-wise not the greatest option, because Photoshop cannot optimize a PNG file properly. To do that, load up Color Quantizer, and open the PNG file. Then set the number of colours to about 256~512 (should be more than enough in your case), and save.
    Done!
    Get Color Quantizer here: http://x128.ho.ua/color-quantizer.html
    If certain areas in your artwork look less than ideal, make use of quality mask/brush in CQ.

  • Questions about exporting PSDS(so as PNG, TIFF with transparency) by AI CS4 and newer

    Hello, I've got this question as titled...I stll can't figure it out why.
    I'm now using WIN version of AI CS6, and I've used CS4, CS5 before.
    Why does AI CS4(and the newers) export transparent PSD files which are always with blank transparent thin border(about 2~3px) line in the right and down side ?
    This situation hasn't happened in CS3 and CS2.
    The PSD files I intended to export are about A4 size with 300 dpi, sometimes with 150dpi, in RGB/CMYK/Grayscale color modes.
    If  someone as well-experienced as all you seniors can tell me the reason or even solutions i'll be very thankful to your reply.

    Thank your reply first
    I totally agree with your opinion, it's really an annoying bug.
    I've tried your solutions before but it's still time-comsuming to correct the with/length.
    Sometimes I think the new version AI kind of rediculous because it can't export as accurate as the CS2/CS3's exporting, which should have functioned well.
    On the other hand, I can also save my AI file with PDF capability and drag it into PS to rasterize, then I can get accurate PSD files.
    But save AI with PDF cab. takes much time, even more when there are complex objects (or) with multiple appearance features and occasionally fails to save and get a broken AI file.

  • Monotone color with transparent background

    Is there a way to maintain the transparent background when saving a monotone photo? I need to do a 2-Pantone color job and want the images cut out from the background. Monotone won't allow me to save as a TIFF with transparency.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks! That helped me too!

  • Help with transparent gif "ghosting"?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to export an animated gif with a transparent background to use on my website, but I'm getting a very strange issue where, as the gif cycles through frames, the previous frames "ghost," or remain despite the new frame playing.
    An example:
    In the first one, the old layers "ghost," in the second, there should be fire moving on top of the letters, but it only moves inside the letters. The PSD for the first image is here: http://puu.sh/7Wh7w.psd I'm saving this images by choosing file > save for web and devices, but no matter what I do in the preview window at that stage, the ghosting still appears. How can I fix this?

    Ruth,
    Welcome to the forum.
    What format/CODEC do you need to Export to?
    Many will support Transparency, but not all. For those that do, you usually have two available choices, such as Million + Colors, where the + is Alpha. In some, like FLV, there is an Export Transparency option.
    Let us know your delivery scheme, and someone will point to the exact Export settings for Transparency.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Is it possible to create an animated GIF with transparency in AME?

    I have Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5 with Windows 7.  Is it possible to save a video (I saved it as uncompressed AVI from After Effects) as an animated GIF with transparency in it (eg. black=transparent)?
    I also have VirtualDub 1.9.11 but don't see a transparency option in that.
    It's for the web where I'd like the normal web background to show in the black (ie. should be transparent) parts of the GIF.

    Thanks.  But if I wanted to keep using it it costs about £600 to buy.  Would Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 be able to do this too (also, seeing as there is an animated gif creation option in AME and used to be in AE, couldn't they just add a checkbox etc. for AME/and AE for doing transparent gifs in those if they don't support it?  Since transparency is a standard feature of .GIF is seems strange to allow GIF creation but not allow transparency)?

  • Animated gif with transparent background

    When I import in Keynote an animated gif with transparent background. The background becomes white. I did the following tests:
    If I extract a single image from the animated gif and import it in keynote the background is actually transparent but it becomes white when I import the whole gif.
    I also checked with other applications (NeoOffice) and the animated gif does come out with a transparent background.
    Do I do something wrong in Keynote ?

    This has been an ongoing issue for me since I switched from Powerpoint to Keynote. Most of the animated gifs with transparent backgrounds that I used with Powerpoint are no longer transparent in Keynote. You may want to search for those earlier threads on this topic...
    To summarize: I've had to open up my animated gifs in After Effects and use the Color Key effect to restore transparency, with mixed success.
    Good luck!

  • How do i export a flash movie as an animated gif with transparent background?

    each export has the background in it.
    I have looked into the publish setting for gif but no option there, or in the background colour setting in the main design window has any Alpha or Transparency setting.

    Thought that issue went away. The only workaround I found was exporting a PNG sequence with transparency, importing it all back into a better animated GIF exporter like Fireworks as an image sequence and exporting it from there again. It will give you the best quality, control over the timeline, looping and various per-frame AGIF functionality.
    But yes, it's a multi-step headache.

  • Importing .gif file into Pages - problem with transparency

    Hi Apple Forum,
    First-timer (on the forum) here. I tried importing a .gif image (with alpha channel) into a pages document. The image was imported, but it's not transparent. In other words, the alpha channel isn't working. The problem is NOT with the opacity button, in case some one wants to suggest that as a solution. Has anyone had this issue before?

    Hi Scrambled_Eggs
    Welcome to the forum.
    Resave them as .png from Preview app.

  • Gif with transparent background?

    I have a .gif file with a transparent background that I want to put in my website (it's my logo) but it only copies in like a jpg?

    Got it.

  • In Indesign CS6 I export an artboard to  TIFF with the sdk's funtion SnapshotUtilsEx- ExportImageToTIFF(iStream) and, the resulting file is one pixel too large in the X, leaving a transparent strip on one edge. Any idea if there is a bug in the sdk?

    In Indesign CS6 I export an artboard to  TIFF with the sdk's funtion SnapshotUtilsEx->ExportImageToTIFF(iStream) and, the resulting file is one pixel too large in the X, leaving a transparent strip on one edge. Any idea if there is a bug in the sdk?

    An easy example to prove this bug of Indesing CS6:  I create a psd with Photoshop CS6, with width 505 pixels, height 317 pixels and a resolution of 300 pixels per inch. This psd is placed on a page in InDesign CS6. Then I try to export it as a tiff with the functions:
    fSnapshotUtilsEx->Draw(flags,fullResolutionGraphics,greekBelowPtSize,enableAntiAliasing,tr ansparencyQuality,abortCheck,pVPAttrMap,bDrawNonPrintingObjects);
    and
    SnapshotUtilsEx-> ExportImageToTIFF (iStream)
    The resulting tiff has a width of 506 pixels (one pixel more in width). It will happen the same if we start with a width of 507 pixels, etc.
    This error does not occur with Indesign CS5, nor Indesing CC.

  • Saving as .gif with transparency

    I have a .png file with a transparent background which I have been trying to export as a .gif with transparency in FW8. I've managed to save it as a .gif but the edges are dreadfully ragged. I seem to have tried all the options. Any ideas please?

    Select a matte color that matches the background color of the page you will be using the image on. Set the transparency type to Index.

  • How to I move gif with transparent background to jpg background?

    I am using the Master Squite CS 5.5 trail on Windows XP Pro with SP3.  I am not a Photoshop expert, but have done a fair amount for work with iit.
    I am trying to build some headers for websites and I know how to combine JPG images and text to ceate a header image.
    Now I have a couple of logos that I got in JPG format, converted them to GIF and made the backgrounds transparent.
    The "Move" tool doesn't seem to allow me to drag and drop a GIF image with a transparent background onto a JPG header background.  I tried converting the JPG header background to a GIF image too, but it won't let me move the transparent image to this background.
    I really need to get this to work somehow to create the professional look I want.
    Thanks!

    Your mistake is in assuming you need GIF anywhere in the process.
    Try this instead:  Paste your logo JPEG over the background as a separate layer, then remove the pixels you want to be transparent by either Deleting them or Masking them.

  • Can't open gif with transparent background?

    Hey everyone, I'm just having a little issue with Photoshop at the moment.
    I keep trying to open up some animated gifs that have transparent backgrounds, because I want to edit them and delete some frames . I know for a fact that the backgrounds are transparent because I've hosted them on websites before.
    Now, when I try to open up the gifs, i go to: import> video frames to layers> type in *.* > open gif
    The gifs ALWAYS open up with a white background. Is there any way around this so they open with the transparent background? Could I try opening them a different way maybe?
    Thanks in advance

    GIFs do not have genuine transparency. Only a specific color in teh palette is tagged as being transparent on saving, and that is done in Save for Web. You are misunderstanding how the file format works and the behavior is therefore otherwise correct. Your only option to preview that transparency in PS would be to edit the color palette under Image --> Mode --> Color Table or convert to RGB mode and remove the fill using selections. Anyway, moot point. No matter how you do it, you cannotr circumvent teh file format's limitations.
