Illustrator :: How To Remove White Transparent Box
Jan 8, 2013
When I sent a complex artfile with transparency and special effects in Illustrator to print, a white transparent box shows up in some of the illustration. I think there's a way to go about resolving this problem in illustrator under the transparency flattener presets but not totally sure how to go about readjusting the numbers.
I'm looking to use these images as forum sigs, how to remove the white background / make the background transparent? I would like to keep the text on the images if possible. If that makes it too much work, though, the text can be removed.
I have some logos which all have a white background. I want to remove this white background to leave it transparent. So far I've managed to remove it but it hasn't been very clean as I've had to do it with brushes and lassos and havent had the effect I want.
I want a clean edge but these all leave grey pixels that blended from the black edge into the white background or just remove the black completely.
I'm looking for a reasonably quick way to do this, as I have 16 logos to get through and not too long to do it in.
I'm sure there must be a way of doing this but I've been fiddling with it for hours. How can I remove, or make a background transparent so that I don't get the white box when I use this on a coloured background.
I have put together an ad for my small company but am having a problem after printing to a high-res pdf with there being a thin white border where the edge of the actual file (its a square) is. This placed file is a transparent PSD file. How I can eliminate it?
I have an A3 sized times 3 artboard file that I want to save out at 300ppi so that I can print it at A1 without losing much quality. I do this every couple of months this will be the 4th time or so. Each time I run into this same problem and kind of just fudge my way around, but I'm not having as much luck this time and can't move forward to printing.
each sheet is a series of 20 coupons or so like seen above but when i export to jpg some of the coupons come out like this:
the white layers (there are two) both go transparent and the background paper image leaks through. as you can see in the after shot, in the upper right, some white is preserved (the shadow in a link file, but the white under 408 is an illustrator shape)
I've tried changing the white to 1%k or 1%c 1%m 1%y 1%k and things. usually fiddling with it like this in serveral random ways gets it to work eventually.
When I use a transparent gradient on top of a darker colored background, I can see white as part of the transition, even though I have it set to fade to no fill.
And, no I don't want to use the multiply filter to solve this issue. Needs to be set to "normal" because the object will be used for web. This feature works correctly in Photoshop.
How do I make the white areas inside this logo transparent? I can't seem to find a way to do it and I would like to so it can be put onto different coloured backgrounds. The semi-cirlces are all seperate shapes, the white circle outline is a white cirlce with a smaller blue circle placed on top and the text is normal text on the blue circle.
I managed to create the Illustrator image I want & now need to take this image & use it in another application. However, regardless of which way I attempt to export - jpg, tif or png, I'm still getting the (white artboard) background, which I do not want. I attempted to create another box & blend the background to the background of the other application that I am using, but it's still apparent.
Also, with some conversion, my image became distorted or changed the image colors a little bit.
What's the process to remove unwanted backgrounds from Illustrator images? Here's some samples.
I have a logo that I made into a vector image. It is simply black text with a transparent background. I am trying to create a duplicate of the image- but with the letters inverted to white (still with a transparent background). I am pretty new to illustrator and am not sure how to get this effect. I have tried using the "ignore white" button in image trace as I did with the black text image, but all it does is erase my text too. Is there an easy way to do this?
I have also tried to go to "object/edit color/invert" but all it does is say there are no recognizable colors to invert....
I have a Photoshop file with a transparent background and when I place it on the Illustrator against a colored background, it's still transparent on the screen, but when I print it, the transparent part comes out slightly white.
I'm getting some white edges on my artwork, very fine ones. I googled a bit the problem, but couldn't find anything useful.
This is what I'm talking about:
Can you see them? They appear in the red figures. Looks somewhat pixelate with white color and sometimes black.
Here another example:
Because of the angle, I gues, the white edges on the red shape don't look as disturbing or pixelate as in the other picture. I even thought they weren't there, until I gave a closer look (click on the picture to see it better).
How do I remove the white background from a placed .jpg or .tiff file. There always seems to be a white rectangle around the .jpg or .tiff . How do I remove that white background rectangle?
Is there a way to remove the white space in my picture? I do *not* mean transparency. What I need is for all my coloured dots to be shifted closer together to be more compact.
I have a multilayered psd file. All layers should remain opaque except the black to white gradient layer where I need the white to be transparent. So that when I place the final psd on top of a block of solid colour in Indesign the gradient shows the background colour through where the black fades off.
Ok so i have this image (Attached) im trying to remove the blue rectangle and the white rectangle leaving the blue swirl on the white back ground, iv tried using content aware but it comes out really bad, maybe im doing it wrong will some one be able to look at this for me, maybe it came out wrong because i have the blue swirl and content aware doesn't work correctly with it .
I need to know how to make these pixels in the picture go away. I tried making the background black but It makes it look ugly. Is thier an eaiser way to do this?
I have a single layer image with a white background, but I need the background to be transparent. The white background also happens to be the only white part in the picture, so is there a way that I can isolate the white and make it transparent?
I`m using some scans of thatched drawings, like the pictures on most bank notes. I'm wondering what the best way is to make the white between the lines transparent. Its too intricate to do manually with the eraser, does anyone have any ideas or know a good tutorial? (what do you call those drawings too? are they ectings? aquatints?)
Basically, I am working on this pause screen pic from Mass Effect 3. I am trying to turn it into a good background for my phone. I'm trying to do a number of things with it, some of which are proving easier than others. The most difficult thing I want to do is remove all the buttons from the right hand side, so there are five buttons on the left and just background on the right.
How would be best to go about this? I have tried selecting individual sections and painting over them with a gradient fill, and I've tried using an automatic resynthesizer plugin using a selected texture, but neither have yielded good results. The former becomes obvious due to its uniformity when done in large doses and the latter just comes out all wrong.
I have an image that has a white background. I want to change this background to be transparent.
I can of course select everything around the image and delete it, but the pixels near the edge are a combination of a colour and the background colour. I want to be able to change these to the colour semi transparent (ie remove the background colour portion of the pixel). Is there some easy way to do this?
I need the logo of my team from a game I play so I can modify or create profile cards. I have the original card and I'm trying to copy and paste the logo so I can use it on another image with a different background or theme. But when I copy and paste the logo I want to use, I use the "select" option and it goes with the original background. Is there an option so I can make the background dissappear and just get my logo on a transparent background for future use or edition? In this case I'm trying to make a St.Patrick's theme for the fan page of my team.
I am trying to make a gradient to go from "transparent to white" example: I have a circle that the center is transparent, but I want it to go from a transparent to a white. I can't seem to figure out how to do this.
I've got three layers that all seem to be set against a transparent background, which is what i want. Only, when i flatten them, the layers appear on a white background, not transparent. No where on any of the layers is it white, so i can't figure out why this is happening. the outside edge is jagged, thus i can't just crop the picture. How in the world can i keep the transparent background when i flatten?
