Photoshop :: Enhanced Metafile/Transparent Sections
Feb 18, 2005
I have a simple GIF image in Photoshop 6 that is a line drawing of New York State. The background is transparent, the ouline is black, and the interior is white. I want to use this image in another application (FormDocs), but there is no way I can insert it with the transparent background.
FormDoc says that transparency is only supported if the image is Enhanced Metafile and if PhotoShop can save it as an Enhanced Metafile with transparent sections, FormDocs can properly display it. This file format is not available in Photoshop's Save As drop-down and no Copy - Paste Special combination works. I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't get this image into FormDocs with a transparent background.
I've been through the Help files, all the menus, etc. Although I'm relatively experienced with PC applications, Photoshop is a very complex application for a person who does not use it on a daily basis and who is not graphics-savvy.

I have succeeded in making a graphic background transparent.... However, There are 4 small sections that appear transparent but when i hit the wand they are a different transparent color (still white and grey little boxes but don't turn pale blue on top when i hit the wand... And, It is these 4 small areas that still print white.
I don't know if i messed it up with layers before ... but i am guessing??? These areas won't erase again because they show as erased.
I tried copying and pasting in paint.net a variety of formats... Gif, Jpeg, Pnd and then tried erasing again and although Jpeg did erase.... i was back to square one and these 4 small areas keep printing white. How i can transparent these 4 small areas?

I'm trying to make an image with 2 layers: one is a circle that I'm using as a background (and everything outside the circle is transparent) and the other is a selection that I've copied that I want to paste over the background. Is there a way to make it such that the selection I'm pasting will only cover the background image and if any parts of the selection that I'm pasting go outside the background image into the transparent parts of the image that the transparent section will remain transparent?
I've been doing it an ad hoc way of just erasing parts of the layer that I'm using to paste and checking for transparency underneath but that's pretty time consuming. I assume there's a better way?
Also, vice versa: is there a way so that if I have a selection that has transparent sections that I paste over a background, that the selection I'm pasting will have it's transparent sections not overwrite none transparent sections of the background? I mean, outside of using magic wand to select everything except the transparent sections and just pasting the parts I selected using magic wand over.

why, when I try to hatch something, I get a message saying "Proxy metafile contains bounding box. Not exploded". Nothing happens until I escape, and then I'm back to where I started with nothing hatched. I have other drawings xreferenced into mine, but I am not using them as the hatch boundaries.

Just upgraded (not sure it was truely an upgrade) to LT 2013. When double-clicking an attribute in LT 2009 a nice dialog box popped up that could be tabbed through to each attribute. In 2013 the Enhanced Attribute Dialog box will not allow tabbing, you have to physically click on each attribute item then go to another spot in the box and click again to make the change.

I am extremely new to Autocad and working with the Enhanced Attribute Editor. I have a drawing frame block with existing notes that I can alter with the enhanced attribute editor. I want to add some new notes to it but am having some problems. I have added an attribute Definition (ATTDEF) but am not sure how to go from there.

I'm trying to output B&W art for offset and can't get a .tif, .pdf, or .eps to look as good as the Draw version. Even ran the .tif up to 2400 resolution, making for a 160+MB file; not bad, but still rough by comparison.
Then I turned View/Enhanced to View/Normal: they look the same now. Is Draw, when View is set to Enhanced, smoothing out my artwork in a way that can never be reproduced in real life? Would explain why my printer is always letting me down.

I have a block with attributes. When I use the enhanced attribute editor, under text options, the height is grayed out, not allowing me to change the height. How do I fix this?

After installing 3ds Max 2014 I decided to check out the new enhanced menu. It worked very will for a few days but for some reason now every icon in the menu is very low quality or just a star. I've tried doing a complete re install but it didn't seem to work.
I've attached a screenshot to illustrate what I'm talking about.

Is there any way to automatically export only the pictures I've enhanced during the develop phase? I was resolved to Ctrl-Click on the ones at the bottom filmstrip that I could 'see' that I had edited (about 15 out of a hundred) and then export to a subdirectory. Maybe someway to filter that bottom filmstrip to only the pictures I've edited/enhanced?

By default a double click on a attribute opens the "enhanced" function. I don't want this, I want the "normal" attribute editor, is there a variable to change ? Or another way ?

What's the easiest way to determine if an Open Type font is enhanced with ligatures, optional caps, etc? I have not found any means other than to open each one individually and try to implement the features.

When in the attribute editor, after you edit an attribute then click "select blocks", to choose a new block to edit, an alert appears telling you that an attribute in the block has changes and asks if you want to save these changes. I ALWAYS want to save these changes...
Therefore, my question is, is there a way to turn that alert off or suppress it?

I have been making a title box for my drawing layout and have been using attributes. all my attributes open in the 'Enhanced Attributes Editor'. But for my Scale option, i was wondering if there was any way of creating a drop down list in the enhanced attributes editor instead of typing the value in each time?

When I am in Enhanced view mode Coreldraw turns all whites into a pale yellow color. I can not figure out how to reset it to pure white. It's double strange that it I zoom in quite close to an object it reverts back to white until I zoom out again! It only occurs in enhanced view not the other modes.

I use civil 2012, and have a drawing with over 400 attribute blocks that are all set to be "green" in the enhanced attribute editor, properties tab. I would like for all of the attributes to be set to "by layer". However, I find that the it only allows me to change one block at a time. As said earllier, I have over 400 blocks.

I was given a customers title block but there are no defined attributes. I'm using AutoCad Electrical 2010. I have to double click on the title block and the edit block definition box pops up. I select the block to edit and click ok. I would like to use the enhanced attribute editor on these title blocks. Is there a way to define the attributes on this kind of title block using the enhanced attribute editor?

I have been having this issue with autocad generated color PDF printouts having "fuzzy" fonts and some other black objects. What I have traced it to is that the PDF created by the stock Autodesk PDF ePlot renderer/driver is printing those fonts (and other things like lines with global width) in rich or enhanced black. 75,68,67,90 CMYK to be precise. When this is done without some sort of 100% K border (and sometimes even with) it leads to a blurring of the edges because the registration is never perfect. There is often even some ghosting due to the sheer amount of toner.
Some printer drivers have a way of forcing or selecting this "Enhanced Black" but I see nothing in the settings. I wonder if this can be externalized. It seems that at least fonts should almost never have this turned on.

The powerpoint presentation will give you a brief description of the software's capabilities

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...

We've just started using an attribute in a dynamic block and I'm curious if there is a faster way to edit the text, like how you just click outside the dtext or mtext editor to save and exit. the editor.
We only need to edit the value field, not any of the other attritubes. I really like how the dynamic block is saving us some time, but the outdated editor is really irritating, and it's not always convenient to hit Tab then Enter on the keyboard.
Is there perhaps an alternate editor, or a way I can edit the value text in the mtext editor by default rather than opening up the Enhanced Attribute Editor?

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.
