Illustrator :: How To Create Transparency Between Objects
Mar 21, 2013I have a circle with split into 5 segments (image A).All of the segments have a stroke (1px) of white, and a fill.
What I want is for the STROKE to be transparent so that when I position the 5 segments over a different background colour (image B) I see the colour underneath where the white stroke would otherwise appear. To recap - I would like to retain the width of the stroke, and make the stroke coloue transparent..
I've tried the Opacity setting, but this applies to the object, not just the stroke.
Illustrator :: Using Text As Selection - Select And Delete To Create Transparency
May 17, 2013I am trying to create a very simple logo. Basically, I created two layers: one with the letter M and the other with the letter W. I now want to place another letter over top of them and then select it so I can delete the shape of the third letter from the other two and essentially be able to see the transparent background through the third letter.
I have done this in PS CS2 no problem, but I am trying to do it in illustrator so I can resize the design for anything from a business card to a billboard if needed. Bottom line is I need a solution that wont effect me being able to resize the vecotr to crazy sizes.
In the image below, the "S" is just a white letter. I need it to be a cut out through the M and W so that whatever Background it is on the page or document shows through that S space.

Dec 3, 2007I was wondering if someone could help me create a PNG that when overlayed on an image only shows when its on top of black. ie the image underneath is black and in some spots there is color. Wherever there is black I would like the overlayed png to show. Wherever there is color I would like to the overlayed png to be transparent.
View 2 Replies View RelatedGIMP :: How To Create Variable Transparency
Sep 4, 2013I'm sure 'variable transparency' is not the right way of putting this.
I have an image which has some text in white. However because of the aliasing the text is not 100% white against the background (black). Rather; the edges are shades of white.
I want to convert the image so that the text is transparent. If the text was 100% white it would be simple. Colors.. Colors To Alpha. However that doesn't work as it doesn't deal with the shades of white around the edges of the text.
I want the shades of white to be transparent with the same degree of opacity as they white. So the white in the image is 100% transparent and a pixel which is say light grey to be 90% transparent. (The end image is going to be used as a webkit mask; showing the background behind the masked element).
I don't know where to start with this. I know PNGs support 8 bit transparency so it should in theory be possible.
Photoshop :: CS5 - How To Create Transparency Around Edges Of Image
Feb 16, 2013I'm an beginner/intermediate Photoshop user, using CS5. I'm working on an image of two women, starting from an historical photograph. I selected, copied and pasted the central image of the 2 women onto a new layer which is otherwise transparent. I then created a copy of the original photograph's layer and applied a masking layer with a radial transparency gradient, so that when the original layer is hidden, the background appears to be radially faded behind the central image. So far, so good.
However, I'd like to apply an additional "dose" of transparency around the edges, so the image fades completely at the outermost edges. And I'd like more control over this additional fading than just applying another gradient.
I've seen a video of someone "painting" transparency onto an image, but I can't quite get my brain around it. From what I've read, it looks as though I should create another layer that will be an additional masking layer... but how to do this.
My undying gratitude for any assistance to get me past this roadblock.
Photoshop :: Create Radial Transparency Gradient Using CC?
Aug 4, 2013I am using the new Creative Cloud attempt from Adobe. In 6 months, the only consistent documented behavior from photoshop around transparency gradient adjustment layers is to deselect all layers and then select just one layer to use for the failed Photoshop transparency effect.
I have not found any tutorials that I can duplicate on my machine. Either the tools will not appear 99% of time, or when they do 1% of time they do not work as described, work erratically, or do not work at all. I have got the CC Photoshop to perform a linear gradient from layer to black background. That is all CC Photoshop can do consistently for me. For multi-step tutorials, the steps are consistent, but CC Photoshop popups and resutls literally change with each gradient attempt. Freaky application failures. 100% of time CC Photoshop fails, applying the gradient from an object in foreground to a black background.
Layer foreground to black background must be the default. Anything else fails and is highly erratic. It is as if this CC Photoshop is intended as a supplement to whatever they are using in the tutorials. For example, If I had the money for a full Photoshop CS6 box, everything would work fine? CC Photoshop is a total fail on this computer. Adobe telephone support results the same failure. I am always going to get a call back "with a resolution". but the callback never comes, or it comes with the excuse "we are working on this". All I want is a Foreground to Background transparency gradient for a selected layer... ever since the CC beta trial appeared a year ago. For example, how do I create a radial transparency gradient using CC Photoshop?

GIMP :: Create Checker Board Pattern Having Green Color / Transparency
Feb 9, 2012I am deciding to switch over to gimp from pixelmator because of the extra features. However, there is one thing that is making me concerned is some limitations in the filters.
How do I create a checkerboard pattern (using the filter) which has a green color for its primary color and transparency for its secondary color? In pixelmator this is easily done because there are extra color pickers in that filter supports transparency, so no problem. However, this isn't the case in gimp.
Illustrator :: How To Set Transparency For New Paths
Nov 8, 2013I trace a lot of line drawings in my work to add regions of color or to create a layered watercolor effect.
In previous versions on Illustrator (I currently use CS6 but I think CS5 worked the way I liked) I could set the opacity to whatever I wanted and new pencil or pen objects would be trasparent as I drew them. Now my paths are opaque no matter what my setting in the transparency menu and it's impossible to see what I'm tracing.
I used to be very productive drawing blobs of color and overlaying quickly for a nice watercolor effect, but now I have to draw a blob, select it and set it's opacity, then draw my next blob and do the same thing. Very time consuming and not good for quick evaluation of whether or not my image is looking good.
Illustrator :: PNG Transparency NOT Working
Jun 10, 2012For the past several months I have been struggling with a problem with Illustrator CS4:
1. I have an RGB document 167px wide by 169px high.
2. I have an icon in the document with a rectangle background of 167px wide by 168px high, aligned to the bottom of the artboard.
3. Using both the "Save For Web"" and "Export" options to save the file as a PNG, Illustrator "FILLS" the 1px transparent portion at the top of the image with the rectangle color.
Therefore, I have a PNG that is 167px wide by 169px high with a rectangle background that is also 167px wide by 169px high.
What I want is a PNG that is 167px wide by 169px high with a rectangle background that is 167px wide by 168px high with a 1px space at the top.
The output dimensions in the "Save For Web" dialog are correct and it even shows the 1px transparent space at the top in the preview area.
YES, I have "transparency" checked in the "Save For Web Options". I know HOW to save with transparency and have done so successfully countless times before.
It seriously just... stopped working. I fear I may have changed a setting that would cause this, but I cannot find anything that even relates to the transparency for a PNG other than the simple check box in the "Save For Web" dialog. I only saw one other forum where a user said Illustrator was "cutting off" the transparency, but that question remains unanswered as well.
Illustrator :: No Transparency On New Object?
Dec 18, 2013I've just been semi-forceably updgraded from Illustrator 10 all the way to CS6, and I'm noticing some things that seem to behanve differently. I don't know if they're "normal" now or not, but any way to change, that would be fantastic.
The main thing is about transparency. When I select an object that is 50% transparent and then select the Pencil and start drawing, the resultant new object holds all of the appearance of the old object—stroke color, stroke width, fill color—but NOT the transparency. It always shows up 100% opaque. That forces me to then go and select the 50% transparency for every object I draw, which can be a lot.
Is there a setting that will allow new objects to "hold" the transparency setting of the previously selected object? Or do I really have to manually change the transparency of each and every one after drawing it?
Illustrator :: Why Gradient Transparency Not Printing Right
Mar 25, 2013When printing a vector illustration in PDF format, my gradients that fade to 0% over a surface aren't coming out right. The gradient appears like a box with a hard edge, rather than fading away. It looks like this when viewing the file , but when printed I am getting this . (don't mind the color, it is a bad quality photo)
I am using an HP z5200 postscript printer.

Illustrator :: Mesh Transparency For Shading
May 9, 2013Using: Illustrator CS2 on Win XP Pro sp3
Experience - minimal (I come from using Xara and Inkscape).
My method of doing this type of art is mostly in Xara. I would creat block color shapes with decals and sticker, etc. and then use transparency gradients to create highlights and shadows. Here I was testing / getting use to the mesh tool and shaped the form of the car with color - rather then trasnparent highlights and shadows (top). But I now have to add stickers and decals to this car and tried to apply a clone of the hood mesh over the red stripes and it created a strang clipping error. You can see in the bottom screen cap that the sides and lower part of the red stripes disappeared, while the top remained untouched. Will I be able to use the mesh tool to create transparent highlights and shadows over the top of blocked coloe and the stickers, or will I have to manually match the shading on each sticker?
Illustrator :: Transparency Looks Different On White Background

Illustrator :: Brush Stroke Transparency
Sep 4, 2013I am using Illustrator CS5 to build a logo that uses brush strokes. The strokes are translucent but I want them to be opaque. The setting for the stroke is 100% opaque. I can't find a way to change this. It seems like a glitch. I've used brush strokes many times before, but have never had this problem.

Illustrator :: Default Transparency Flattening
Jan 22, 2014ALL we do out of Illustrator (CS6) goes to print, as a result we don't EVER want the transparency flattening to be anything less than high resolution.
I tried modifying the "Transparency Flattener Presets" file as suggested here URL...but simply making the "Medium" setting the same as the "High" setting made the Illustrator menu come up with "Custom" by default containing settings for the Medium!! Is there a way to get the default to be high resolution?

Jun 20, 2013I am doing a logo design which comprises text sitting on top of a png image. The original png image has a transparent background.

But now it's put a white background behind the image. I need the entire logo to be transparent.
Photoshop :: Transparency Knocking Out Illustrator Object?
Jun 12, 2012I have a layered .psd file where several of the layers are 30% opacity in black (essentially, the layers are meant to be drop shadows of some flower art):
Here is the layer properties box:
When this .psd file is placed in Illustrator, on top of an object with a red spot color fill, the PhotoShop layers partially knock out the Illustrator vector object:
Here it is with the black turned off in Separations Preview:
Is there anything I can do to the .psd file so that it doesn't knock out the red spot color in Illustrator? I'd like the spot color to be solid red all the way up to the edge of the flower petals.
In the past, we've worked around this by recreating the "drop shadow" in Illustrator, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
Illustrator :: Merge Complex Shapes From Transparency?
Sep 3, 2012I am using Illustrator 16.0.1.

Illustrator :: Every Time Flatten Transparency It Rasterizes?
Jun 6, 2012I need to have my file in EPS, so I need to avoid transparency or avoid vector illustration because some part of the image rasterize. I still didn't find a way, how to make it, but I can see illustrations, which are vectors and saved in EPS and the effect drawned there MUST be done with transparency.
I created a simple file, where there is a gradient on the background in layer Bg nad another layer Glow with circles. The circles are made by gradient which goes from solid colour to a fully transparent one, so it can join the Bg nicely.
This is how the circles' gradient looks like.
This is the scene.
When I want to save it I select all the transparent objects and all the objects which touch the transparent one. In this case, it is everything in the scene. Then I press Flatten transparency and apply it with following setting. Anyway, every setting (higher ppi) I tried failed.
The result: Illustration full of images -> rasterized -> failed.
Just for example take this illustration - it had to been done with transparency, but it is still a vector graphics! [URL]
Illustrator :: Duplicate Type Layer With Transparency?
