White background around logo

I have created a logo for the top banner of my webpage. It is a black, abstract gif image on a transparent background. When I insert it into the banner which has a grey background, there is always a faint white outline around the logo image. How do I get rid of this. I'm a bit of a cs4 newbie. Thanks

I've tried that and it doesn't seem to make any difference. I'm experimenting with the 'Refine Edge' button on the original selection to see if that makes any difference - its a bit trial and error. Expand/contract seems to make it worse no matter which way I go.

White background around graphics shows as a blue tint ...

The white background around graphics that contain a drop shadow,shows as a blue tinted region only when printing as a pdf/pdf-x file to color laser printers. Ink jet printers print the page correctly. Since I work in a pc environment, I save pages files as pdf or pdf-x onto a flash drive. When I open the file on a pc in acrobat reader, it shows the white background. The color laser is an HP Color Laserjet 2550PS. I'd like to include the drop shadows and print to the laser, since the inkjets are being phased out.
Any suggestions about the cause or solution to this problem?

White backgrounds around swf's

I'm having some trouble with a site once I've uploaded it to
the server.
All my flash swf's have white backgrounds around them
although I have specified a background colour of #2D44C8 to blend
them into the site. I can not seem to get rid of the white
backgrounds.
The swf's display correctly on my pc, and work fine once
embeded in dreamweaver and viewed on pc, but once site is uploaded
I get the white backgrounds again, this can be seen on following
link
www.maplecroft-jewellers.co.uk
Can anyone help me or give any advice, the files were created
in CS3
Sorry if this is a beginners question but it's really
frustrating me
Thanks

Hello,
The background area was set in flash to #2D44C8 in the fla
file and displays correctly when published on pc.
The "div" the swf file was inserted into in dreamweaver had a
background colour of #2D44C8.
The web pages displayed correctly on my pc but once uploaded,
the background area's in the swf files had turned white?
If this makes sense? I would like to know what I am doing
wrong so I can stop it occuring in the future.

If I have a jpg with a white background around the actual image, is there any way to lose the white and just have the image?

Removing white background around image in Illustrator

I used the custom shape tool in Photoshop to make a paw print and then took it into Illustrator and used the Live Trace tool to vectorize it (as the image will be used in an Illustrator file). Now I cannot figure out how to remove the white background from around it. I have a gradient behind the image and must have the white box removed from it. I'm sure the method is probably quite simple but I am rather new to Illustrator so would greatly appreciate any advice! Thank you!!

Sounds a pretty crooked workflow. Create the paw as a a path in Photoshop, select it with the path tool, copy&paste it into Illustrator. Works much better and avoids all pitfalls. For your trace problem: Make sure to choose Ignore White.

Objects with effects applied to them print with a white background around them

I have an object with a dropshadow effect applied to it. When attempting to print my file, the object with the effect prints with a solid white box around it, blocking out a portion of the objects behind it. Why is this, and how do I fix it? I have tried to apply the "flatten transparency" option to the object with no result. The only way I have found to successfully print this is to import the whole file into Photoshop and print it as a raster file. I would like to preserve this file as vector...

I think the problem lies with your ripper/printer not understanding the higher level PostScript - convert raster effects to greyscale if at all possible - might help...

How do I remove random pixels around a product image on a white background? They only show up after I save an image.

I am taking photos for my website selling jewelry, and I use the magic wand tool and the paint bucket to remove the background. But when I save it, there will be shaded pixels around my product in the white background area that are only shown after my image is saved. Does it have to do with saving it as JPEG? Do I need to save it as something else?

No I don't use layers. I'm very new to using photoshop. It happens in other editors like microsoft paint. even if I use the eraser tool to remove the pixels in the white background around the the product, they show up after I save it as JPEG. I would just like to know what causes it and how to change it.

HELP NEEDED...No More White Backgrounds...

I recently had someone design a logo for me (although I'm not exactly sure what program they used to create it), which I saved as a jpeg. Anyhoo, I'm sure you know what question is coming next...how do I get rid of that hideous white background around it and make it transparent??? I'm terribly unfamiliar with using any type of design software, and to top it off, I currently only have access to the trial version of Illustrator CS4 so I'm still unsure of whether or not all of the features are available that can help me fix this problem. I'm not even sure if Illustrator is the right solution. Can someone please help???
Thanx

JPG images can't have a transparent background.
If it were me, I'd go back to the original creator and ask them for a vector file, not a jpg. JPGs generally are not the proper format for someone to deliver a logo in.
If you want to get rid of the background, you may as well use Photoshop since it's a jpg. There's no direct benefit to using Illustrator. If you want to stay in Illustrator, use the pen tool to draw a path around the outside of the logo, then select both the path and the logo and choose Object > Clipping Mask > Make. You'll then need to save it in a format that supports transparency such as .ai, .eps, or .psd. However, it still won't be a vector version of the logo. it will simply be a raster jpg with a vector path around it.

ID 5.5 Interact. PDF, cannot remove white background for Multi-States and buttons.

Hi
I am working on an Interactive PDF Portfolio document. The problem I have is with Multi-State object feature with several buttons going to states that need to be exported as a SWF and imported back into InDesign 5.5. See, the background of my entire doc. is GREY, but when I import the SWF (as directed in Lynda.com videos correctly) and export the entire doc as Interactive PDF and view it in Adobe Acrobat Pro (version 10.1.1) is when all the trouble starts.
When I try to get rid of the WHITE background around the Multi-State objects and the buttons for them (using Select Object Tool and then control+click on it to change the Properties to Transparent Background Appearance) it does not change, even when I go forward and backward to the page.
Does the option of removing white background and making it transparent work only for Animation, but not Multi-State feature with buttons?
Can anyone suggest any other tecnique to create a nice slide show that works in Interactive PDF in ID CS5.5? Please..
Sincerely,
in need of help,
Eve

I have 8 Multi-State objects in one stack on the left and the 8 buttons for each state in the stack on the right. The background of my document is dark grey. There is space inbetween Multi-State objects and the buttons that show the grey background. But after exporting as SWF the Multi-States together with the buttons and placing the SWF back in the PDF file, the space inbetween Multi-States and buttons that is supposed to show the grey background appears white. The problem is that I cannot even change this white background to transparent in Acrobat Pro, as well. I used to do that to animations and it worked, but not in this case.

White background won't disappear!

I am working with a simple background in Photoshop Elements. I have to take 2 images into the new Illustrator CS3 and create the cover for manual I created. I am saving each file as an EPS and JPEG format. When I open the documents into Illustrator and drag them onto the blank colored background I am working with as the cover, I still get the white background around the each image. How do you rid of this?! I was told it was a transparency issue, but I am not sure how to delete the white background in Illstrator. I do know how to in Photoshop Elements, however. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

EPS only supports transparency if you have a clipping path. JPEG does not support transparency. Save your files as PSD and File > Place those.

Recommend an image editor that has a magic wand tool to delete white background and save as PNG with transparency

Hi Everybody,
I need an iPad app that can open an image and has a Magic Wand-type tool so I can select white background around a subject. Then delete the white areas so it becomes transparent. Then save as a PNG with transparency. I've tried Pixelmator...I can select the white but I can not delete the white. I downloaded Photoshop Express...no magic wand tool.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks,
Gary

It's a shame you don't have Mac. The feature is built in the system (in Preview, Pages, etc).
That makes me think: this feature should be in the iPad iWork apps too (Pages and keynote): check out this guide: http://www.cultofmac.com/256475/knock-out-those-backgrounds-instant-alpha-hidden -in-pages-for-ipad-ios-tips/

Pull white background from pattern for layer.

Hello, I have a simple clothing pattern I want to make a 3d Texture from which I can do however what I would like to do is make a layer out of the white background around the template with the marked pattern areas as transparents so after I paint the main template clothing ares, I can place the white background with transparent areas back in as a layer to cover where I paint or fill over the marked template area. Is this possible, if so, how?
I am working in CS5 Extended.
Hope I explain that correctly.
Thanks in advance for any help
Kimberly

Kimberly, here is a simple method to make the cutouts slightly large so that white seams don't appear on the textured model. Make sure to use the settings that are highlighted in the screenshots.
Open the t-shirt template file
Magic Wand Tool
Click anywhere in the big white area surrounding the t-shirt pieces.
Select > Modify > Contract… try 2 pixels at first
Press Cmd+J (Ctrl+J on Windows) to copy the selection to a new layer.
Hide or remove the original layer.

Thin white line around black .ai logo and drop shadow question

Hello,
There's a very thin white line all around a black .ai logo I made when placed on a color background. It shows up in printing and acrobat (PDF % compatibility) too. Also, is there any way to get a transparent drop shadow (no white boxes) when saving as eps.
Thanks
Running OS10.4.11 In Design CS3, intel mac.

Is the logo rasterized in Illustrator? It sounds like something was antialiased against a white background.
>Also, is there any way to get a transparent drop shadow (no white boxes) when saving as eps
No. EPS does not support transparency. If an area is not fully transparent (because nothing is drawn there) then it is fully opaque. PDF and AI support transparency.

White box around my logo help

oval. Now in the PC I have Freehand MX and There is a white box
around the oval that is not really part of the design. Cant get rid
of it and need to use the logo

I have also been trying to solve the same problem. Where does one take an already created watermark and make it transparent? I have Photoshop on my old Mac and e-mailed my solid white background watermark to myself, opened it in Photoshop and "erased" the white background. Transfered it back to my Lightroom on my MacBookPro and exported the test photo w/ the "erased" background watermark. I had no idea if it would work….it did not. OR : How does one create a transparent watermark? I have a graphic I want to use w/ my name. Please HELP!!!
