View 1 RepliesI am trying to find a faster way to save my images. I shoot in raw, save raw images as jpegs after editing them in Camera Raw. I am using Photoshop CS6 on a Mac version 10.7.5. When I save, I either have to save as a copy of the exisiting image, or replace the image I'm working on. Other forums I've read said to make an action to save and create a function key to make this process faster, but my function keys aren't working, and playing the action I've created still makes a copy of the image.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a PNG image with only one layer as a start point. It has a faded map on it.
I have a second PNG image with a hex grid on it. I do colour to Alpha to establish transparency on the hex grid for white filled hexes (others are not filled with white).
Now, I wish to overlay a portion of the first image with the faded map with the non-transparent part of the second image.
So I select by colour (for the hexes not filled with white) on the second image (the overlay) and I then paste to the first image (after creating a transparency layer and selecting it to receive the overlay).
I see the desired overlay section (minus any transparent stuff as expected), however it is centered over the map in the first image, not where I want it to be. It is a floating selection and must be anchored. So I select the anchor icon in the layer dialog and I think I anchor it into the transparency layer on the first image (that's what I'm trying to do anyway).
And then my problem:
I want to move the thing I just pasted in to the right place with respect to the underlying faded map. I attempt to use the move tool, but all I move is the background map (pretty much the opposite of what I want).
Nothing I do seems to let me reselect the pasted-in overlay so that I can move it.
Why I can't ever reposition the pasted in overlay? It should be in the transparency layer I created but even if I select all, I don't seem to be able to move anything other than the background image.
I was just wondering as to whether its possible to keep the checkered base which you get when you remove part of an image or have it transparent to stay in the created image.
I am sure you all know this.
Here is the YouTube background which I have created and wondering if I am able to keep the checkered base or whatever in the image after I have saved it rather than print screening and pasting it back like a jigsaw puzzle.
Having spent hours creating an image mask I am not satisfied with the altered image it is linked to. Is it possible to copy an image mask to a separate but identical image?

I would like to remove the bg from a small image, ie make it's bg transparent, and place that small image on top of a large image, a banner. Not sure what I am doing wrong but when I place the small image on the large one the entire image is transparent, not just the bg.

Upon doing this I seem to have lost the ability to copy/cut an image or part thereof from one open image into another... Example:
I have an image window open with a picture a car and I have an image window open with a race track back ground.
I want to copy the car from image 1 into image 2, but for some reason I cannot do this function anymore. When attempting it, once the item is copies to the clipboard and I then swap to the second image, when I paste as a new layer it pastes the clipboard from that image and not the image from the first window...
I'm trying to write a script to batch process a number of files. I want the script to open file a*.png, convert black color to alpha and paste image b*.png on top of a*.png (both are the same size). The script converts black to alpha, but it doesn't paste image.
(define (batch-alpha-paste pattern pattern2);get the file lists (let* ((filelist (cadr (file-glob pattern 1)))(filelist2 (cadr (file-glob pattern2 1)))) (while (not (null? filelist))(let* ((file-name (car filelist))(filename2 (car filelist2)) (image2 (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename2 filename2))) (draw2 (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image 2)))(image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename filename)))(drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image)))) ; convert black to alpha(plug-in-colortoalpha RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable '(0 0 0))
[code]....
I call the script from shell:gimp -i -b '(batch-alpha-paste "aa*.png" "bb*.png")' -b '(gimp-quit 0)'
how to copy image 2 into image ?
I want a plugin for Paint.NET and i will show what i want to say in some pictures.For this exemple i will have :
A. a transparent image (800x600)
B. a red ball image (32x32)
1. I have the A image.
2. I copyed and pasted the ball image B on the A image.
3. Now what plugin i want to make is to expand the ball B selection on the all A screen/canvas.
4. Now the ball image B will be expanded on the all screen of A.
For this example let's take in account that I have 2 identical in every aspect copies (meaning size and content at this point) of the very same image.
1st remains unedited,
2nd is edited only as far as concerning the image > adjustments menu through changing mostly channel mixer, selective color, saturation etc values and had an object attached to it atop of the original depiction before being edited as a whole.
What I want to do is to edit the 1st image, compare in some certain ways the colors of it I guess with the ones of the 2nd, match for instance where color hex value X (and horizontal/vertical X,Y coords - is it needed in order to be more precise and avoid mistakes?) (I guess again) from the 1st image is edited into color (or even additional settings atop of that?) hex value Z, do that automatically for all the combinations and immediately apply the same changes I applied from 2nd pic when unedited (and looked exactly like 1st pic) to the very same 2nd pic in start, TO the 1st pic in the present case. Also in order to do this "color matching" before applied or not I need to set out-seperate the area where I have added an additional object in the 2nd picture and fill it possibly with the original content from the 1st(can it be done in one move) in order for the process to be complete?
That means I turned the 2nd image into a combination of blue-green-red colour (and other) from orange-yellow-cyan (just an example) I want to do the very same to my 1st pic which is orange-yellow-cyan etc.
I have a picture of my car that I cut out of a picture, pasted it into a new image with the 'transparent background' option. The windows and some of the space in between the wheels are transparent as well. I applied a drop shadow to the car to give it a little depth,
I'm using Photoshop 6, I use the save as web image thing, and I can't get a proper setting for a .gif export (they all look like crap, the drop shadow defaults to a flat black color). So I tried a PNG 24, and it keeps the drop shadow looking nice, but it adds a background color in place of the transparency.
How can I create an image with a transparent background? I am creating a project that I wanted to save as a transparent image (that is the background, not the image itself.). However, no matter what I saved it as, it would force a background on me.
It was being created for my e-mail program. The program has stationary backgrounds on the e-mails I create, so the background would always be changing. That is why I wanted the image to be transparent so that it could blend into any background.
I'm trying to clone out some words on a semi-transparent .png image. To be more specific, the words are 100% opaque white on a semi-transparent grey background. When I use the clone tool(opacity 100, hardness 100) and try to clone the semi-transparent background onto the white inscriptions, the cloned background seems to be more opaque and the words are slightly showing through. If I do it a couple times over on a single word (like I did with "BROWSING TIPS") than I manage to cover the word up completely but the grey looks even more opaque.

View 3 Replies View RelatedThere are times I have to use the 32bit version of CS6, because the plugin being used can't be used in the 64bit version. But the last two days, this error started up out of the blue. This is the error popup I get, verbatim "Could Not Complete the Browse In Bridge command because Photoshop was unable to find the Javascript plug-in"
This error doesn't happen with the 64Bit version, nor does it happen in CS5 64 or 32bit, and not in CC 32bit (downloaded the trial to test to see if it was a 32bit compatbility problem) and none of these cough up this error.
I haven't copied or deleted any parts of Adobe or any files in any of the program directories.It happens in Photosho I try to Browse in Bridge from Photoshop, not if Bridge is already open.
And yes, I know Extension Manager CS6 no longer supports Bridge, but I wasn't using it. This error just started yesterday. Been using the 32bit version of CS6 for certain plugins for over a year. Again, haven't deleted or added anything.

What I want to do is take one of my photos of my pet parrot and turn it into a sort of tranparent overlay and copy / paste it quickly and easilly onto all my other photos..........sort of like a "this is my calling card" to stop other people pinching my photos (not that they are that good though).
I've seen on the net how to use the text copyright logo tool on CS2, but can't find anything anywhere about how to use one of your own photos..........is there an easy way to do this please?

I am trying to create a transparent image to place in InDesign so that I can wrap text around my image. But when I save it as a PSD, it doesn't allow the text wrap.
I'm tring to create an image using color from transparent to white without any background. I want to use that image in an application where the user select a color and the fadding creates a nice effect with any color (because the image has a color from transparent to white so if the user select blue then image will appear from blue to white and so on). I can't seem able to do that in Photoshop (tried with gif and png). The result gives me a white image whithout any transparancy.

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?
i know how to make an image transparent by using the magic wand tool but all it does it turn the background white. what im doing is dragging the image into another image [which happens to be a printed background] and when i drag.. the white background drags as well.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a transparent image for a webpage, it's simple enough to do using the 'Export Transparent Image...' wizard under the 'Help' drop down menu in Photoshop, only problem I'm experiencing is if I try exporting it as a Gif the quality is degraded substantially....
if I export it as a PNG, the quality of the image stays in-tact but doesn't appear properly in Internet Explorer (PNG transparency doesn't display properly in IE). The image I'm saving has two layers, first being the transparency base, second layer being the actual image.
The image (layer 2) has a drop shadow, if i save it as a gif with the transparent background, the drop shadow isn't saved. If i save it as a PNG - the quality is great, drop shadow displays nicely, but again, IE displays this ugly blue color where the transparency is supposed to be.
Is it possible to save this image with the background being transparent as a gif without losing the drop shadow of the image?
I have an image here that I cannot seem to make transparent.
It was a picture of the Vegas skyline and I was trying to make these buildings cut out and have a transparent background.
I keep selecting the white background and hit delete, but it stays white... same thing happens when I try to save for web.
I've made a .psd which fades from white to 100% transparent. I was hoping to export it as a png 24 and put the image over some text in a webpage to make the text look as though it had a fade on it.
The text is automatically updated, thats why i have to do it this way. When I do save for web as png 24 and place it over text in dreamweaver and preview in safari all that happens is the image shows as a black solid image! What can i do?!
SGA gate image
I want to make the background transparent, just leaving the gate.
I've tried adding just a red alpha channel, just a blue alpha, just a green and even tried using all 3.
No matter what I do, I can get the background to go transparent but the gate ends up being semi-transparent.
