I'm creating a 3D text logo using CS4 Illustrator and Photoshop. I created the logo in Illustrator, and copied it into Photoshop to apply color using hue and fill settings. I used the wand tool to select the top of the letters, then changed the hue on the sides, then filled the tops with a different color. I created a new layer for the selected tops. I want a transparent background, and I want to save the file as a Gif. However, when I flatten the image, I get a white background. Somehow, a white background sneaked in. Also, when I go to save the file, there is no option for a .gif. I saved it as a jpeg. But then Dreamweaver would not display it. It only showed a samll icon representing the graphic, but wouldn't display it.
1. How can I avoid having my transparent background become white?
2. Why am I not getting the option to save as a .gif?
3. why Dreamweaver wouldn't open the jpeg? Could it be size? File too wide. In the past Dreamweave automatically resizes to accomodate wide files.
I'm in the process of prepping individual components of a design for Flash animation. I'm trying to apply a layer of #7C6844 with the color effect at 56% opacity and a layer of #999999 with the color burn effect at 12% opacity to the foreground image which has a transparent background. This task has proved to be rather impossible for me, but it seems like there should be a way to do it. I would use the wand tool > select inverse and apply the colors over top that way, but the foreground image has a lot of leaves and branches, so that method would be extremely tedious.
Is there a way I can select the entire image as a whole and leave out the background?
I'll attach the image and the desired result to further assist.
Using CS3. Computer is fine and everything was working up until a few minutes ago. Now everytime I try to save as the dialog box disappears and the program menu bar grays out.
I have a box I made with the square selection tool. I added a 25 px feather to it to give it nice rounded corners.
I did a paint bucket fill inside the selection and it doesn't fill JUST the insides like I thought it'd do. It does MOST of it but it blends outwards towards the sides of the selection so it's not one solid color.
ALSO when I flood fill a few times, it EXTENDS passed my selection box into the rest of the window!
My question is, how do I make a selection box with rounded corners flood fill COMPLETELY?
I've created a webpage in phtoshop, done my rollovers in image ready and transferred it into dreamweaver.
Now when it's on my hard drive it's fine and works - but when i upload it none on the images show up or they do show but when you put your cursor over a rollover all the images diassapear (they all turn to red crosses).
I've made animated .gifs before without this problem: I have taken 12 seperate .gif images, converted them to RGB mode, dropped them all into the same Photoshop file, and then jumped to Imageready to create frames for each layer. Upon clicking "Save Optimized As", I get the following warning:
"Because JPG, PNG, and WBMP do not support animation, Imageready will save only the current frame."
I don't understand what I've missed. All 12 original images were .gif. I had to convert them to RGB mode in order to create a 12 layer file, but don't think that is what is causing this issue.
I am a beginner with using photoshop. When trying to use Filter>Render>Clouds it is faded and I cant use it. I have tried looking with google, but I did everything but it was still faded.
When adding a gradient to a canvas that has a selection why do I see an outline around my selection when the gradient is applied? What can I do to eliminate that outline.
im designing a tshirt for a client and i am drawing something in black using the paintbrush tool. i messed up because i forgot it needs to be dark brown. to use paint bucket makes the images lines distorted and "fat". is there no way to just take the black i drew by itself in its layer and turn it all another color without messing it up?
I'm trying to create an action with an F shortcut, so when I save a file that I've edited, it saves it with an '_ed' after it.
When I've done the action, it just changes the whole file name, instead of adding the '_ed'. I know there is a batch option for this, but I was wondering how I could go about doing this on a file by file basis.
I just bought a new laptop computer....I had Adobe Photoshop CS2 installed on my desktop computer...have not used it much at all. So, just yesterday I did the "Transfer Activation "thing". I did as instructed...Installed it on my laptop...(this new laptop is an HP Pavilion with 2GB, Intel Centrino, Light Scribe, and Windows Vista).
When I was through installing it (it said I installed successfully)....then I was told to register it... ...I did so...using my new address (of the laptop)...It told me It registered successfully.
I then proceeded to download updates....when all was said and done, and rebooted...said the updates were installed successfully as were the registration, and updates.
I bought this photoshop magazine, and was trying to follow a tutorial for scanning in an image. (btw i have searched for this, and found nothing). So I scanned it and opened it in illustrator, and did live trace and everything to get the outline, then I exported it as psd (as the tut. said), but when I opened it in photoshop, the white background was gone. It was an outline of my drawing on the gray and white checkerboard background. Now in the tutorial it said to use the magic wand tool to select all the white, and delete it (in illustrator) so I thought maybe that was it, but it wasnt. It still opened like that without deleting the white areas.
I scanned several magazine covers (believe it or not I'm one of the few who still dosen't own a digi cam) and now want to place each pic/scan side by side or one on top of the other to resemble what a picture would look like if I had taken it with a digi cam.
I use the line tool (U) quite a bit and for some reason now after I make my first line the next line i try to make is white/negative amd the line tool has the little minus mark (-) next to it. How do i reset it to the (+)? currently i am having to make a line, rasterize the layer and make the next line.
I was currently working on a project in photoshop, and i had a text layer I saved it as a psd to make any later changes, and now when i want to change the "text" layer it does not change, What i mean by change is when i click my type tool to change the spelling of the text the text is not slected instead it makes a new layer.
Do not see that the Save In Background is working. I have 300MB Tiff files that are being saved to the local harddisk in Windows 7 with CS6. It takes about 10 seconds to save the file both with and without Save in the Background being selected.
Ive got this vector image of a fist, its going to be used for a website logo. Ive saved the image as a GIF and tried about all the combinations of dither, no dither and all the other options on the "save for web" page but im still getting these speckly white bits on the finished image.
I am very new to the photoshop world and am trying to remove an image from its background ( as a stand-alone) and save it. Is there a way to do this in Photoshop CS6? I have looked at tutorials but only found how to remove the image but not how to save the image as a stand alone with no background.
I have saved a image (as a BMP file) with a transparent background. I want to use this image as my wallpaper. However when I show this image on my desktop (as the wallpaper), the background shows as white white color while I was hoping that I will only see the image and the background will be transparent .

I'm having trouble saving my gif as a truly clear background image... i continue to get a white background around the image... like a line stroke. This is most obvious when I save for the web using image ready, but not as bad when perform a I save as gif function (thought it still happens). And of course, you don't see the line till you insert the image in a colored background.
The problem is my file doesn't downsize as sharp when I manually change the file size or transform it.
Same thing happens when I use Illistrator. I'm wondering if it is an outdated filter or something?
I've been using the batch file - export layers to file script for some time. Right now I'm trying to figure out an easy way to have a locked background and do the same thing, but keep the background the same.
Background - Layer 1 - Save Background - Layer 2 - Save etc.
Is there a way to do this? I have around 300 images that need the exact same background.
I work in full screen with Menu Bars 98% of the time. I also enjoy the new save in background feature. The problem is that when in full screen I can't tell when it's saving and the status of the save. This is particularly frustrating when I'm trying to close a file. I think there needs to be an option to have it save in background but pop up a status window, or some way to see the status of the save while in full screen.
I had a situation where I had to quit Photoshop immediately, but it wouldn’t let me because a background save was in progress. I don’t like killing a program with the Task Manager during a write operation, but that’s what I had to do.
If there’s a way to cancel a lengthy background save or to view its progress, I haven’t found it yet. There needs to be a way to do this.
I have a very simple PSD, so i'll try to explain this super simply..
one transparent layer, with just a pair or eyebrows, with the only added blend effect as 'multiply'
one background with a face, no eyebrows.
the layer blends the eyebrows in to the background face perfectly.
i want to save the layer as a separate file keeping the tranparency and including the result of the multiply effect, without the background.
the reason why i want to do this may confuse things, but basically i want several different eyebrow colours to be interchangeable over this face in an application that doesn't recognise the blending link with the background, so i want to save it in PS !
