Paint.NET :: Making Transparent Stamps For Acrobat
Sep 16, 2011
I don't have photoshop and all the instructions say to save the transparency directly to pdf in photoshop. Saving to gif, tiff, png and opening as a stamp in acrobat or copy and pasting the transparency from paint.net into acrobat always removes the alpha channel.
What I want to do is cut part of a photo out and place it onto another background.
I have been trying to do this by: using the magic wand tool to cut out the background of the image I want to move. Then I save that as a .png file. I then open the image I want to use as a background and (after copying the .png image,) I paste the .png image on top of the background.
At this point, one of two things happens: I either get the first image on there with lots of backgrounds showing through faces, etc; or I get the image pasted onto the background but I get the box with the little grey squares and I cannot see the background through that. I have tried playing with the transparency of the background, but then it still blends through the original images.
I've got all these great digital backgrounds that came with my studio set up and danged if I've been able to use a single one. (I don't have photo shop because its above my head and I really don't have the extra cash for it right now.)
I started trying to mess around on paint.net trying to make a new background. I have the start of my design but it is all on top of white and that ruins it. Is there a way that I can either make the white transparent or change it all to a different color? It is the only white in the whole picture, but it is divided up into a bunch of places.
Can I use a the color replacer tool in PSP 7 to replace a color in an image with a "transparent" color or is there some other way of doing this using the eraser for instance?
I want to create a collage of small pictures. I would like some of the pictures to be rotated, but not at 90 deg or 180 - at smaller angles off normal. I do not see how to rotate an image by a preselected angle, or rotate on the fly.
As a second question, for the pictures I want to make the background [usually a solid color, white] transparent so I can overlay one object with another.
How do I make just the background fully transparent, without affecting an object?
I have a problem pasting an Adobe Acrobat snapshot as new picture in PSP4. Pasting it directly e.g. to MS Word works fine, but I would need some of the snapshots also as a jpg file.
I use the Adobe Acrobat X (ver 10.1.2) Standard snapshot tool to copy a picture and then try to paste it to PSP4 as new image. The result is every time the same: about 7 mm slice from the right is moved to the left side of the image. See attachment.
The attached file is an example showing 7 mm slice from right side of the image on the left side.
I tried searching the forums for "Transparent Grid" and "Transparent Hex", but I could not find anything.I would like to create an image which is a Transparent Grid or Hex which I could lay over other images, like maps for roleplaying games.
I tried to use the eraser tool to remove all the white space from the image "TransparentHexes.png" (see attached). It was long and labor intensive, but when I tried to copy the image and lay it over another image, it removed the transparent parts and made them white space again, completely covering the underlaying image.
Perhaps there is a way to use the "Paint Bucket" to replace white with transparent? And how do I lay a mostly transparent grid over another image?
I want to make the background of some images transparent so I select the backgrounds and try to delete them, though sometimes if it was white the background remains white and other times it pops up with the fill panel asking me what I want to fill the area with and transparent pixels are not an option, and other times I know I have deleted the background and it has shown me the checkerboard pattern indicating that it was indeed transparent.
I have a photo of the sky with telephone wires crisscrossing it. The "sky" is pure white", the wires are black. How can I make the white transparent.. as in, gone completely. I'm not talking about opacity. I want to convert the white to be transparent, ie: gone!
I'm VERY new to PhotoShop and I've used the search feature here and can't find the answer to my problem. If this has been asked many times I apologize. I have a logo which I've scanned. It's just two colors, white and black. I'd like to make the white transparent and while I'm sure this should be easy I am unable to get it to work. Can anyone give me an idea how to do it.
I have some black ink writing on a piece of white paper. I would like the writing to become part of a separate colour picture, but without showing the white background.
I was hoping someone could explain how I would go about making the white backround from the piece of paper trasparent, so I can put the writing on the picture, making it look like part of the picture.
I make banners for our company newsletter that we do every month and they vary from month to month in design. I am working a few months ahead and creating a banner for our March newsletter, which I'm doing a Saint Patrick's Day design.
To do this, I am using a JPG of a four leaf clover that I want to remove the white space behind it and then set it to different opacities to add to a plain, green banner.
I do these steps:
1. Open the file.
2. Create a new layer.
3. Drag the new layer under the original file.
4. Use the magic tool, set to appropriate tolerance and select all the white space. It does the moving dotted lines around all the space I want removed.
5. Press "Delete" to remove the white space.
I did the same procedure yesterday and it worked fine. Today, it won't delete the white space. Is it because this image is a JPG?
its about making 3d object from transparent picture , is it possible, for example i want to make 3d obejct from this picture URL>... so it has depht (thicknes) and everythinh .i used to apply texture on plane and cut out edges of plane so they match the picture.
I have scanned in some red coloured Chinese characters. They were on white paper. Now I want to make the 'white' disappear, because it ist not quite white, and when I print I get a shadowy block around the characters. If I save a .png, can I tell it to make white invisible, transparent?
I have an image I'm making the background transparent on, but it's making part of the image itself transparent. Am I going to have to use the eraser in order to not make the part of the image transparent and just the background? Or is there another option I can use, cause the fuzzy tool isn't working out .
I have a png image of van with white background. I need it to be transparent like image on here [URL] ... the computer. I have read and watched videos but can't get it to work. Using AI CS6.
I'm designing a header logo for a website with Photoshop CS4 (Mac) but am struggling to understand how to get the background transparent.
In Photoshop I've designed the logo using multiple layers. Prior to saving I've disabled the background layers (used for testing purposes), thus leaving a transparent area behind the logo (shown as a checkerboard pattern). However, I don't understand what the next step is. I've tried "Save for web" as well as flattening it first, only to result in a white background. I suppose I don't need to flatten it then I've also messed around with the transparency and matte options in the "Save for web" window but to no avail (yes, I know that I need to save in either GIF or PNG though for the latter I don't know the difference between PNG 8 and 24 and which of the three formats I should go for).
As for "Matte"; is this the color in the image which should be made transparent? So that in my case with a logo containing white among several colors I should make the background something entirely different from the logo as a background layer and choose "Matte" for that? I've also experimented with that but to no avail.
I have a logo with a white background that I want to remove and make transparent. I can remove the white background but areas inside the logo that need to be transparent have turned black.
how to make an image have a transparent backround! the image was imported as a png file, but was still pixelated so i turned it into a bitman by using the clipart outline smoothing feature. but when i try to export it as a png, there is a white block behind the image. i do have the transparenty box selected when trying to export, but that white block behind the image is still there.
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to make a completely transparent and colored image? I'm intending to use it for a webpage and placing links and other stuff on a table, in which i want to have a colored and transparent background, so i can view the page background.
I need help making the background of several images transparent using Photo Shop. For instance, I have a picture of a flower that appears to be floating on a white background, but when you try to insert the picture on a page with a color background, the white shows up too. I would just like for the flower to appear directly on the color background of the page. I hope this makes sense. I just want to make the background of the picture itself completely transparent. How can I do this using Photo Shop?
I can not find the next step for completing a transparent image (Jpeg file) in Photoshop CS version 10. I remember in the last version you used the magic wand to select areas and then hit help and in the drop down selected convert to transparent image and it would take you through the next step by steps. I can not find this how do I complete this now in the new version?
