Photoshop :: Complicated Transparent GIF
Jul 23, 2007
I use Photoshop 6.0.1 on XP Home, SP 2.
I have been unsuccessfully trying to create a transparent gif, which is composed of an image, one word on the left side of the image, one word (some font/color) on the right side of the image, and a group of 3 words in a blank area of the image. I created a new file in CorelDraw, exported it as a jpg, opened it in Photoshop, selected the Magic Wand tool, selected the entire file, then hit "delete", but the gray/white checkered background did not appear, although the flickering lines were around all parts of the image/file.

I got Photoshop to make the background transparent on pictures of furniture. I am having problems because the background is so complicated. I've only tried selecting different parts of the background with the quick selection tool, and then deleting (after adding another layer), but I'm not getting good results.
I see others talking about the lasso, magnetic lasso, layers, masking, etc, but I don't know where to start. I need to learn quickly because I'm on a deadline, Here's one of the pictures I need to do: (one of the most complicated) All I need to keep is the table and four chairs in the foreground.

When I say complicated I mean absurdedly so, enough to make some lose hair.
Just look at the background, I dont want to make a seperate JPG minus login input, so that will do for now.
Anyways, I've been wanting to convert it to a more firey look, and this is what I've got for the internals.
(Shrunken to 25% WxH)
heres the problem I think you have noticed...
How to make a flame effect on the same scale as the lightning, without deteriorating from the rest of the image. I've tried very hard and very soft liquifies, I've tried wind effects to no avail, I've turned the orb from rectangular to polar and back again more times than I choose to count. But the end result is that the flames just dont look real or cool at all.
how I can smooth out the flames and make it look better?
I want high density, realistic flames, and I've tried Panopticum Fire and other things... it just never looks right though.

I'm trying to simplify the creation of several preview thumbs from one image. For example, my base image is a 400x600px image, and from this image I need to create the following thumbs:
1: 90x120px
2: 120x90px
3: 100x100px
4: ...
(Please look at the image i attached)
I need an Action that would Crop the base image and save a copy of each of these thumbs. I can't fugure out how to do this since I need to adjust the Marquee selection for each thumb to Crop the part of the base image I want.

I am simply using this image as practice ( since I already have a goal image made by someone else ) The Origin Image is the original image, the goal is the image I am trying to reach near, or identical too in terms of color scheme. The Current Modified image is my modifications done to the "Origin" image to look like the "Goal" image.
Okay a few problems and I'm kind of stumped... is there any kind of wacky photoshop trick to get the ears and tails to match the goal image, without actually redoing shading and losing the image quality?
The colors of the ears and tail on the origin image are reversed on the goal image.
Did I do well on modifying her bathing suit?

I have recently started using AutoCAD so I'm still figuring it out. I would like to create a line like this
¯¯¯V¯¯¯¯¯¯V¯¯¯¯¯¯V¯¯¯¯¯¯V¯¯¯¯¯¯V¯¯¯ and another one like this ¯¯V¯¯ ¯¯V¯¯ ¯¯V¯¯ ¯¯V¯¯ ¯¯V¯¯ (where the Vs link up with the line).
I have tried to do this through the lin file and have failed. The lines don't meet up, the gaps aren't in the right place and the line does not run along the top but in the middle: I have fiddles around with it but it complicated and long to do. I have also investigated creating these lines using express tools but it seems that this tool is not an option in AutoCAD LT 2010.

How to make this shape? I am using this lamp in a project for school. I have attempted to create this shape with many different methods. I tried a Gengon but that did not work and I tried piecing the lamp together with individual pieces but that looked cheap.

I have never really figured out how to properly build an illustrator file in a way that it will fill properly so my only other option (that I know of) is to use Live Paint. Unfortinately Live paint also wrecks all my line weights. It also makes the object noneditable later down the road. I found this out the hard way for a logo project at college and spent over 30 hours on it just trying to fiddle with the illustrator program, looking up tutorials that never seemed to work for me and nonstop frustration.
This time Live paint doesn't work at all. (I'm trying to paint in a more complicated object than a simple logo). First off my object has gaps in it, and even when I click "Gap options" it doesn't appear to do anything and there are still gaps. So I try to fill them in myself but this wrecks my line weights. And finally Live paint appears to work but only on certain objects such as the eyes, the nose, annd the ears, yet it refuses to fill in the entire body of the animal I'm trying to colour in. I drew this animal in illustrator with the pen tool and applied line weights with the line weight tool. Yes there are numerous gaps in the image.
This is what it looks like as of now:

Only imagine it not in a pdf but an illustrator file because yes I have the original and yes it's vector.
Also I use Adobe illustrator CS6

I am working on a Mac (Snow Leapord) with Photoshop CS6. When I try to save a sliced and transparent PSD in the Save For Web dialog box with PNG-24, the transparency dissapears once exported. I have the transparency and interlaced boxes both checked. The images appear transparent in the Optimized Save for Web dialog box, but the transparency dissapears once exported out of Photoshop.
I never had a problem with this when I was using CS4...

I need to strip my current image of its background color so that the background color on my website goes thru my image. In other words I need a transparent background for my image.
I have create a new layer that is transparent, but the background color on my website does not go thru it. The background color of this image appears to be grayish not transparent.

Hey, I'm having troubles with applying a gradient tool to a rectangular marquee in Photoshop CS3 for Mac OS X 5.8. Instead of getting a black color to fade into the background, I just get the black color.
And I'm click and dragging about 1.5 inches long. Sometimes I end up covering the entire picture with that color, not just the object (even though the object is selected). Gradient maps and layer masks don't seem to work.

I have an image with several layers. The background layer is transparent. When I merge the layers, the background becomes white. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong or didn't do that prevented my background from staying transparent.

I am trying to overlay a logo on top of my titles. The logo is a circle and is in PNG format. When I use this logo in documents it is totally transparent with only the circle showing. However, when I try to use it in my video the circle has a white square around it, the white being the transparent area.

Currrently, we print floor plans to pdf's, open them in Photoshop and make them part transparent and part semi-transparent so that we can overlay them in various visual tools. Is there a way to create pdf's or images where the background is completely transparent and and solid patterns within the floor plan that are semi-transparent?

I have a solid gray filled region that is set to be transparent that is not being transparent. We are trying to put a gray tone over the existing area of the plan. what is weird is that I did the exact same thing to another view & it works perfectly with the region in the background & all the wals & doors showing up correctly. I can't figure out what is different between one view & another.
I've tried changing the filled region to be "moved to back" but nothing changes. if I override the graphics of the element & change it to be transparent the it goes away all together.

I'm sure there's a way to do this but for the life of me I can't remember and can't find it when I do a search. I have an object that is comprised of several lines that are grouped together, and I want to fill the entire group with a fractal cloud 3-color fill. In order to do so, I am creating the fill as a background, and making the object transparent, but when I do that, all my lines disappear (of course!) but I need the lines in it for details. Basically I want to layer this object

I have created a hatch with a Transparency of 30% so I can see what's underneath.
All looks good in Model Space but when I do a print preview from Paper Space the hatch appears to be completely solid in color again and has no transparency.

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 need to add a semi-transparent image to my newly made tiled background. a guy earlier said to open them both up and then click the one I want on top and drag it over, but that wouldn't do anything...whatever tool is open tries to work instead of drag. Please help me with this, do I need to open new layers maybe? I am very inexperienced but with patience and your help I am getting there! I know I will need to adjust the opacity of the one I want on top, right?
Also, I would like to know how to cut an image out of a pic and have the area around it transparent so that it won't hide what I lay it on top of once I figure out how to lay it on top of my background. Maybe I need to change the pic's format then erase what I don't want?

I have made some PNG-24 files In Photoshop CS6 on my Mac i5. I followed what my Dad did on his PC but he is using CS5 and PC. The problem I get is that when I look at them on the i Pad the full screen view is great but the thumbnail has parts of other pictures on the transparent areas. We have looked at my Dads on the i Pad and his from the PC are OK.

I've got an asset in my PSD which I'd like to export with a transparent background, but the resulting PNG has a white background. The asset in the PSD is on grey background, so it's not just that it's taking the background from the PSD file.
I've set the name of the group to hqlogo.png24 and even tried changing the background color in the 'New' dialog to transparent, in case it was using that as some kind of default.

I know that there is a feature in Photoshop cs6 which will change your brush into a tool that affects the opacity of the layer it is used on. That is to say, if layer 1 was all blue and layer 2 was all green, using this brush tool on just one small spot on layer two would make that spot transparent, revealing the blue layer 1 underneath.
I would like to know - what is this tool called, and how may I access it?
Do not confuse this with brush opacity, which is affecting the opacity of the image drawn by the brush. I am looking for a tool which affects the transparency of the layer it is draw onto. I am sure this feature exists but I had forgotton how to access it.

I'm created a web page with a drag java script where people can move pictures with there mouse. I uploaded all the pictures to my picture hoster, put all the code in...and I've noticed that theres the matte around when the pictures got moved over another picture. so i went back into ps and put the matte to none..and it seemed to fix the problem until the pictures turned out all choppy.
is there any way to get the transparent gif with non choppy edges and without matte?
I've been searching the web and trying out numerous things is photoshop, but it just seems impossible.
is ps the right program to use? I tried paintshop pro...but it just seems more complicated than ps.
