Quick question if I may, I was trying to make a Sig for another forum and was wondering... How do I keep the background (outer edges) transparent instead of having a boxed in look. GIF doesnt seem to work, it stays white but im guessing im doing something wrong? I'm decent with photoshop btw, just not so hot on web posting. You can get technical if needed.
First one TBH looks kinda crappy because someone had a heavy finger while he was masking this. But how the piece of background on the right was made? Some grunge brush + masking or it's just a filter/effect?

Now, this one kicks ass IMO and it's not so hard to do exept the left side - how how how?

Yeah, guess what. I don't think that the yellow light was originally on the render which has been used, how to make that and the reflects?
I'm trying to create a few sigs but being a photoshop rookie its gets tough trying to match the vets. I've done some tutorials on creating cool text effects and I've made some images I like. How do I get the two together? When I tried I lost the effect on the text.
I've been noticing a bunch of grunge sigs lately and i think they are really cool. I would like to do one of my own but im not sure how. Can anyone explain how to do them or show me where i can get a tutorial to do one?
Can anyone recommend a good Illustrator forum. This forum has been invaluable to me and I was hoping to find something similar that covered Illustrator.
So i have made a mockup of a forum skin i want to code in photoshop and later on im most likley going to slice it and code it in dreamweaver. I just wanted to know if you need to slice text or do you just slice the background that it goes on and write the text in the code itself.
I am trying to make my clans forum signatures and am trying to make a light and shiny metalframe around it.
All I can manage is to make a small one. Off course I can make it larger, but I don't like the way it look. I want one with more shine and bright (real) look.
I started a thread on Windows/ Photoshop entitled "CS4 with a high resolution screen". People have replied to this, according to e-mail direct response. However, it is not on the list of forums, and neither does it appear on 'search'.
To repeat: we have a high resolution HP LP 3065 screen, which supports up to 2560 x 1600 pixels. At this resolution, images are still less than print size, but CS4 is essentially unusable because the menu text and other icons do not scale. Does anyone know if it is possible to manage this silly interface to allow the user to see what they are doing? Is there even a visual disability option? Even MS Office 2000 - ten years old - allows "large icons".
I had saved this link in my FF favorites. Just thought of sharing it here. I could not find any live link for this page on the Homepage or any other pages on the recent forum pages. I wonder why it was removed.
I would like the two pictures to blend in the middle from left to right. The picture on the left will be sharpe on the left side but fade/transparent by the time it reaches the middle. The picture on the right will be sharpe on the right side but fade/transparent in the middle.
I would think I need a gradient transparency (you always have to use a color)
I see pictures like this all the time, but can not seem to find the correct feature or combinations of features.
In Coreldraw there is a transparency tool which allows you to merge one photo into another - not like layers on top of each other, but overlapping along the edges, so that the outer edges of each pic are unaffected, and the central area is like a mixture of each pic. You could do something similar in Photoshop elements using the Gradient tool, but the gradient tool in CS2 doesn't seem to work the same way.
At the moment, I'm having to join/blend two pics in Coreldraw, save the result as a jpeg, and then open the resultant file in CS2 to continue working. In Coreldraw the little tool is called 'Transparency'-'Fountain' I can't believe CS2 can't do something similar.
How do I make a background transparent? For example I made a document with just my name...Kim. I don't want there to be a rectangular/square or ANY kind of background...just that word, nothing around it, nothing behind it. How do I do that? Before you answer...
I've tried it by putting the document settings at "background>transparent". But when I came across it in my documents folder, it had a background around it. I've thought about selecting the word, and putting it onto a new, "transparent" document, but it doesn't seem to me that would help if it doesn't work when you set the background to transparent on the ORIGINAL and having it not turn out. Don't know what to do??
how do i take a picture that has a background color and make the background transparent. or copy, cut the pic and transfer to a transparent background. i need to make some renders for my site.
I'm using PNG alpha-blending for some of the graphics on my website. As most of you already know, IE isn't the best at rendering PNGs with alpha. Code:
I am realtively new to PhotoShop. Using 7.0 on Windows XP
I have a image, white background with an outlined letter C. I want to make the outside white transparent, but the inside of the letter C to remain white. Is this easy? I created a new image with a transparent background, which doesn't seem to be working.
When creating images to be used on the web there are some where I wouldn't like the white of the background visible (a transparent background).
I've tried deleting the background layer, reducing the fill and opacity to 0% and the background eraser, when I save the images there is no background visible but when previewed on the internet they appear!?
I want to make a very simple sig, text only, no effects or anything. Basically, I just don't like the available fonts that I can use for an html sig on the board I post on ;p Anyways, I save the file as a .gif with transparency and when I tested it out in an HTML file, it showed up fine, but that was only with a white background. When I changed the background color to anything other than white, the text had white pixels around it. Could anyone give some pointers on how to get rid of those pixels around the text? It wouldn't be a problem if the board background color was white, but it's blue. I also tried saving as a .png, same result.
I am creating a CD label using Nero. I simply want to use Photoshop to save an image with a transparent background so that I may import it onto my label. However, everytime I bring the image into Nero (or any other program), it has a white background that I am unable to get rid of. How do I save a Photoshop file with a transparent background so that it may be used in other programs?
if I use CS 4 x64 or x86 I can't save an alpha channel to the PNG format. It does support alpha, right?I opened a tga file containing the alpha channel save to png and it is gone.The same happens if I choose "Save for web and devices."

I did a forum search for GIF transparency, and couldn't find a thread initially that told me how to add transparency to a GIF.
I have this image with 2 colors (orange/white) I want to make the orange transparent. I did FILE > SAVE FOR WEB... and selected the MATTE to the ORANGE color, and reduced the GIF to 2 colors.
What else do I need to do to make that orange transparent?
I'm having a problem with animated GIF transparencies and photoshop. We've been having "halo" problems with some of our rendred images (transparencies) so I've been testing all of the animated GIF's in photoshop after compling them in Fireworks. The GIF's in fireworks look fine...full transparent background. But when I load it into photoshop the "excess canvas" background (beyond the limits of the image) are completely white. Everything within the boundaries of the image are transparent. I can solve this by trimming the canvas but need to retain the full canvas size for placement purposes.
HELO ALL IM A NOOB AND WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE COULD HELP ME OUT? I HAVE TWO SOLID IMAGES BUT I NEED ONE TO GO INFRONTE OF THE OTHER BUT THE PICTURE IN THE BACK STILL NEEDS TO BE SHOWING CAN ANYONE HELP ME?
