Why does my .jpg have a transparent object when placed in Indesign?

I have an product image .jpg that I am trying to place into InDesign, and when I place it, a part of that image becomes transparent. Have messed around with this for several hours now, checked color settings, tried saving it as different types, and for some reason it still keeps coming up with part of it being transparent. At my wit's end, could really use some help on this. Am using cs6 InDesign as well. Thanks

Considering the JPEG format doesn't support true transparency, I'd say it must have a clipping path installed. To find out, with the placed image selected, choose Object > Clipping Path... If "Convert clipping path to frame..." is enabled, (not grayed out) on the flyout menu, there's an active clipping path in the image. Do you have Photoshop?

  • Illustrator files sometimes have a white BG when placed in InDesign

    What determines if an Illustrator .ai file or Illustrator .eps file will have a white background when placed in InDesign? Usually when I place a .ai file, the background is white, and when I place a .eps file, the background is transparent. But I have noticed in other people's files that placed .ai files have a transparent background. In all cases, the placed file is pure vector. I would prefer that the background be transparent all the time, unless I give the object frame a while fill in InDesign.

    This Gaussian Blur is probably created as a bitmap effect, not as live transparency. That makes sense, too, since EPS doesn't support transparency effects.
    No option to change this in InDesign, unless you want to resort to ad hoc hacks such as setting the entire image to "multiply".
    You can try to get hold of the original Illustrator file; if the blur is done as a transparent effect in that, ID sohuld be able to process it correctly.

  • Why does my macbook have the gray screen when it starts up?

    my macbook pro has just started doing this - i keep it plugged in most of the time, and this has never been a problem for my previous macbook or before with this macbook until recently. every time i shut my laptop, and then open it later, it brings me to the gray screen with a white bar that loads pretty quickly, and then it brings me to my password login page. however, it takes a little longer for my mouse/cursor to be functional at this screen. any idea why this is happening? i have never had it do this before so i am not sure what is going on because i haven't been doing anything differently.

    Have you read for possible solutions over in the "More Like This" thread over here?----------------------->

  • Why does my phone have to vibrate twice when I plug in the charger

    I have had an iphone 5 for about a year now and I am very disappointed with Apple and will be changing to a different phone as soon as I can. The fact that apple makes the phone vibrate twice when I plug in a third party charger is obsurd. The apple charger is much worse and breaks sooner than the thrid party charger, but since apple want to make money they are forcing a notification that says this charger may not work properly (actually works better than apples charger) and causes the double vibrate.
    They also failed in reconizing a computer, as I have to verify that I trust my home computer everytime I plug it in, also causing a double vibrate. It can't remeber that it has been plugged into this computer many times?
    Very disapointed in apples ability to live up to the high end cost of their devices and I will definetly be switching to a different device (which has also made me decide to not buy other apple products)
    It would be nice if they would address this problem as it affects every iphone and is a huge negative to ergonomics and functionality of the product.

  • Why does illustrator create white boxes from shadows when imported into indesign

    When a logo created in illustrator cs4 has either shadows applied or gaussian blurs applied on letter shapes and is then put into a frame/picture box in indesign with a coloured background, it brings in white boxes. It does not happen in illustrator when a coloured box is placed on a layer down. If anyone has come across the same problem or knows why it's happening, please let me know. pic attached
    Many Thanks

    look at post 6 which says
    Your transparency blend space needs to match you output color space.
    To simplify it for now, if you are outputting to a RGB device, change your color mode to RGB before printing. Undo back to cmyk to continue working on the document.
    Does this solve your issue?

  • Why do my photos have a green tint when placing them into Muse?

    I am placing photos of portraits into Muse and the colors look terrible. There is a green tint that dulls down the pictures.Top is one of the originals, and bottom is a screenshot in Muse.

    sorry maybe Im not making my issue clear...thanks for answering anyway:
    over the last years- but 15 weeks specifically I have downloaded photos from my camers card- putting it straight into the apple mac and then opening IPHOTO then i am able to click and put the pics into my folders in IPHOTO but as of 2 days ago - the camera card went in, the pics opened BUT there is an error message which states iphoto cannot save them to file......as they are JPEGS
    I can see that others too have had this issue and there are 'answers' but I am a complete novice and cannot understand the answers given and need someone to 'hand hold me' through a step by step this is what you must do....
    so hope that now is cleared as to why there is a 'problem'
    hope you can still help me thanks for you time

  • Pixelated Object when placing in Indesign

    Hi everyone! I hope you can help me. I am designing a business card and need to do the background in photoshop to get the effects that I want. I want to do a large letter with some extra effects also that I can't recreate in Indesign or Illustrator. When I place the photoshop file in Indesign the letter is ragged (pixelated). I've tried everything that I can think of: the resolution is set at 400, I converted the type to an object to see if that would help, saved it in different formats. The anti aliasing is set to sharp. I can't figure out what to do.
    I know all about vector vs. raster and understand that you should never do type in photoshop. But I can't get the same effects for this one letter in any other program.
    Is there anything I can do or is this a lost cause?
    Thanks so much for your help!

    The next question is: is it pixellated in print, or just the preview on screen?
    But this does sound like it would have to be an issue with InDesign.  Are you sure you have all the InDesign updates installed?

  • Illustrator file missing objects when placed in InDesign

    I created an Illustrator file that has text converted to outlines. Some of it is white and some of it is other colors. When I save the file as eps, pdf or export as jpg and then place the files in InDesign, the white outlined text doesn't show up. Advice?

    Check the attributes panel if it is set to overprint

  • Why does this logo have jagged edges?

      you can see it on-line auctionontario.ca
    Thx

    auctioneer,
    Obviously, you are using the transparency available for the GIF format.
    In addition, you should tick the Anti-Aliasing which is, unfortunately, hidden away like a hidden feature in the Image Size window within Save for Web.

  • Why does my clip have a higher quality in the viewer than the canvas?

    When I am editing, I have noticed that sometimes my images and clips have a drastically higher quality in the viewer than the canvas/timeline, what is causing this, and how do I edit and export my films with the highest quality possible?

    >Why does my clip have a higher quality in the viewer than the canvas?
    The answer is very simple; the Viewer shows the media at its native resolution while the Canvas shows the media at the Sequence resolution.  I'd bet that in your case, the original media is of higher resolution that the Sequence in the Timeline.

  • Why does my screen have a circle with contact name

    why does my screen have a circle with contact name

    it might be the recents feature showing up on the home screen, this can be switched off.Once you’ve completed the upgrade to iOS 8, head to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Scroll down until you see the Contacts section and tap on Show In App Switcher. Here you’ll see the options for displaying contacts in the app switcher screen: your iPhone favorites, your recent contacts, or both. Note that if you enable both favorites and recent contacts, your favorites will be displayed first, and you’ll have to scroll to the right to see your recent contacts.
