White background transparency and black box outline removal ?

Hello,
I need to know how to do two things with Illustrator CS (yes, the old version).
First, I need to turn all white areas to transparent. I have two imported images which have white square backgrounds behind their pictures / designs. I need to over-lap a design over another, but the white area / square behind the image is interferring with the other. How do I make all white to be transparent ?
Second, when I remove / hide areas of an image with a white box it has a black outline. How do I remove this black outline?
Thanks,
Karl

1. Better take Photoshop or any other comparable raster programme.
2. You're probably talking about a black stroke. Read about strokes in the help files.

White background, blue and black text only

Had the same problem several weeks ago and it went away when I re-set the proxy setting. Problem now resurfaced.
First bit - 'untrusted site' keeps popping up. Got one for Google . / Firefox help. Can now only use Chrome to get to Firefox help (thus I'm unable to provide the 'troubleshooting info')
Then I get to a site - e.g. Mozilla Support and the background is white and the only text is black or blue hyperlinks.
I have: - Reset / reloaded Firefox, deleted the 'cert8.db' file. The clock is fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Neil Wilson

How to make a white background Transparent

I would like to to select the blocks and enclosed data to copy and paste in a poster, leaving out the white background. In other words make the white background transparent.
This is just a plain low res jpg.
This seems like it would be pretty easy but not for me. Is there a tutorial that could guide me through this?
Thank you for any guidance you can give me.

I'm probably not being clear about what I'm trying to do. Here's a typical poster. I use the magnetic lasso to select an image, copy and paste it resulting in this.
This time it's to be a team picture with small head shots of each player, action photos in the background, similar to this. I can do all that but I wanted the tournament chart to lay on top of the background with just the boxes and enclosed info showing. I know I can use the magnetic lasso or the poly lasso but I don't have enough patience for that.

Sounds like you may be experiencing a kernel panic. (See What is a kernel panic http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1392?viewlocale=en_US) Dr. Smoke's FAQ Resolving Kernel Panics (http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html) offers suggestions for working with it.

Select the white background with Magic Wand tool. Hit Delete. Transparent background is denoted by the checkerboard pattern on your document.

Premiere Elements 13 Eyedropper for white balance, gray, and black NOT WORKING. Help!

I'm using Premiere Elements 13.1 on an iMac, and trying to adjust the white balance on a clip with ZERO success. The main reason for this is that I cannot utilize the "eyedropper" selector; I know what should appear white, gray, and black, but cannot select those items.
In the Three-Way Color Corrector there are Eyedroppers to use to specify areas of known color range. I have tried without success to select ANY of the eyedroppers...
I have clicked on it - NOTHING
I have held the left mouse on it and attempted to drag it onto the frame - NOTHING
I have right-clicked it - NOTHING
The eyedroppers are not greyed out and they do respond when clicked. I have hit Reset button galore. I have restarted the program.
I have held my mouth funny - NOTHING :-)
When my cursor is hovering over the tool, it changes to an eyedropper. If I click, nothing happens when the cursor is moved - the cursor changes right back into its regular arrow shape. The cursor does nothing to the image if an item is clicked....there is no change to anything on the monitor.
I am a longtime Photoshop user but new to Premiere Elements. This dropper seems to work nothing like the PS ones. In fact, it doesn't work at all...so far.
Can someone please tell me what I need to do to simply select the eyedropper and take it onto the image and select the white (or gray or black)??? Before I go bananas (may be too late)? THANK YOU!

Still not working. I think the root cause of the problem is the mechanics of using the tool itself; I hope this screen shot shows up below ...
Here I have APPLIED EFFECTS open, and have selected Midtones (Greys) to be expanded so that the eyedropper and other details appear:
Now, just below where it has a box and "Impacted frame area in white" (which I know is a checkbox allowing the area effected to be seen), there is a little color box and an eyedropper.
What EXACTLY do I do to select (activate) the eyedropper and subsequently tell the program what I feel should be grey in the selected clip?
As mentioned before, I can click it and the cursor briefly changes to the same shape as the eyedropper. But as soon as I move the cursor a fraction, it changes back to an arrow (normal cursor) shape. Even then, going to the area I need to select in the image, and then clicking it, does exactly nothing to the appearance of the image shown -- even if the colors start way off. No correction at all. It is as if the tool does nothing. The color wheels below all this DO work however - it's just the eyedropper that doesn't do anything. This just cannot be Adobe's intention. I am convinced there must be some flaw in how I am selecting the tool itself. And the user guide - needless to say - is worthless in explaining the mechanics.
So very frustrating. This appears to be the only thing wrong with the program - nothing else seems amiss.
NOTE: To add insult to injury, this promised white/gray/black balance feature and the three-way-color corrector is the SOLE REASON I purchased the software. Funny.

Make white background transparent

This Q must be very old. Why can´t someone invent a sigle button for this I have tried all the things by the book but still when I try to lay text image with white background over an image the white is still there althoug I made it transparent. tried to sa for web as png-8, png-24 and gif. nothing works. To use magic wand gives bad result when applied to text? So what can I do? I am trying to place text over image. I know I could write it over the image but I need the text as a transparent layer some place else.
thanks

Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object
Place the object on its own layer - Layer menu>new>layer via copy or CTRL+J
Place a blank layer between the background layer and the layer with the object, then place your new background on this blank layer.
You should have 3 layers: Background layer that you started with, the blank layer with substitute background, layer with object at top.
Here I selected the swan
Placed a blank layer below the layer with the swan
Filled this layer with a gradient for demonstration.

Mysterious black box outline, f1 thru f12 key commands are jumbled, talking

my teacher came in two days ago complaining of a black box that outlines random places in active screens or active icons, and that her f1 thru f12 key commands weren't working properly....in fact, her volume buttons weren't working at all. we also noticed that some commands were doubled in their lists. for example, shut down and log out appeared twice in the apple drop down list. the next day, her computer began talking to her. what is happening? what should i do?

my teacher did not follow directions. the answer to turn off voice command worked for the black box and f1 thru f12 keys. thank you. if she'd only done it the first time, i would have marked the question answered from my first responder. thank you again!

The screen on my ipod touch is white all over and black in the upper right hand corner only with color dots and lines run to the left hand side but stop in the middle. how do i fix it?

right now it is the middle of april and i bought the ipod at the beging of Agust the year befor so it still has not been a year. currently it is thursday and the screen changed to the white and black corner on the monday earlier in the week (so 4 days ago). i had just broken up with my gril friend and we were fighting. in anger i through my ipod at the wall. i was aiming for my pillow on my bed so it would hit something soft but i missed and it hit the hard concrete wall in my room. when i looked at my ipod it had turn itself off and when turn on the screen was white with a little black in one corner. i have tryed to restart it by holding down the power and home button till it restarted but the screen only got brighter and then eventually went back the the brightness it was before and turn off. i can still turn the screen on but cant unlock. i know it is still working cause my alram still goes off in the morning. the ipod is a 4th generation ipod touch 16 GB memory and is black. can this be fixed at home on my own or do i have to take it in to apple. can apple even fix it or is my ipod past the point of repair. any advice would be nice. thanks in advance.

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Startup screen has green lines and black box asking to restart

When I try and start my computer, I get a series of vertical lines that go from pinkish red to green. Then a black
Box appears telling me I need to restart in different languages. My computer is fairly old, does anyone know if this problem is fixable? Is it a part that can be replaced?

Clinton
The Mid 2010 15-inch MacBook Pro problems are related to kernel panics, so the GPU is still working. In the case of the OP, the GPU has stopped working completely, so his/her problem doesn't belong to the kernel panic problem, so the OP may have to pay. I may be wrong.
Also, the 10.8.4 update won't help as this is a hardware problem, but it's always good to keep OS X updated

Brand New iPad 3 has a jiggly screen and black boxes across the screen in different apps

My mother purchased a brand new iPad 3 about 1 week ago. The screen has begun to shake while she is in the apps. (This is not the shaking that icons do on when you hold an app down so you can rearrange.) When this happens the screen will go blank when her hand is near it and reappear when she moves it away. Also, in some apps, I have experienced this in the App Store and Facebook, black boxes cover the screen so that you cannot see what is behind them.
We have tried shutting it down completely, but that doesn't seem to be a fix.
I have been searching for others with this problem and haven't found any. Help would be appreciated. Given the sporadic nature (but often enough to be a bother), I'm hesitant to go to the Genius Bar for fear it wouldn't do it then.

I've had the same problem with Big Black squares covering the screen. And a few times the screen has split vertical in the middle and pushed everything in the on half a little down, making it very difficult to read text as the lines was cut in half.
I first experienced it in Mail, and then in Safari. I noticed that it is only covering content, not the App bar and When I scrolled down, the boxes were staying On the spot On the page. I figure it must be a software problem as it moves alting with the rest of the content, so I tried uenig Chrome instead, but yesterday the same ting happened.
I have tryed to take a screen dump, but it gets completely black
Its not warm When the problem occours.
Anyone with a solution?

My Macair11 will not start. White background, apple and a turning sun below. Hour after hour. What shall I do?

Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
Read before proceeding > OS X: About OS X Recovery
If it were a RAM (memory) issue, you would hear beeps instead of the startup chime.

Make movie coverart use white background instead of black

The coverArt used for movies and TV shows does not use the full 600x600 pixel size like music albums. It leaves black sections above and below each movie coverArt. Is there any way to change the background color to white so it blends nicely with the rest of the screen?
Thanks!

So simple. Sorry to waste your time with that but it was extremely helpful.

PDF Background Transparency and Color

I have several PDF pages that are vector black line-drawings that have been placed into a document as a gallery, which works great.
However, when you click on the PDF to view it in isolation, the background turns black and the drawing is hardly visable.
I am able to convert the PDF's to a raster format, but would like to know if there is a way to change the background color when viewing an image in isolation.
Thank you in advance,

I just realized that converting the PDF's to a raster format is not a preferable option, as the sepia background of the picture frame fill is preferred.
Can the background of the image isolation mode be changed (to match the sepia background of the picture frame fill)?
