Photoshop :: How To Make A Transparent Hole In CS6
Jan 3, 2013
How do I make a transparent hole in CS6? I've tried the ellipse tool>stroke>blend opacity to 0, but that just clears the gray circle. It does not create a clear hole.
Just so you know, I have a square psd in a file with numerous other layers and I want to make it round and put a transparent circle in the center to make a DVD label. That's what I'm after and I can't believe I forgot how to do this.
If one chooses 'Drop Shadow' with text, it appears as if the text is floating over the image. I would like to do the opposite. I would like it go inwards as if it's a hole. Like when you scratch your name on a tree or carve into ice. How to do such a thing?
I am trying to make a target with a bullet hole on it. I am using the Ellipese tool. When I drag the box to the size of circle I want, I click away to make another one inside and the first one disappears. How do I make it stay....I feel like I need to hit the enter button. I am working with a transparent layer....if that matters.
I have a number of objects stacked on top of each other and I want to make a hole through them all so that when I save the finished artwork as a web image the hole will be transparent. A bit like a donut but it's not just a circle with a hole in it. It's all these other shapes piled on top of each other.
I've thought about the Eraser Tool but my hole needs to be quite precise (and there are to be four separate holes). I have looked at making a clipping mask but I can only really find tutorials that show me how to clip like making a photo vignette and I've thought about Pathfinder.
How can I build a 3d sphere shape with a rect hole in it (simil to pacman)? Something like this, but with a real 3d shape (so I could change the perspective having all the shades and lights etc...):
Inventor will not let me make a hole on the top of my object. The hole conformation button is grayed out no matter what the parameters are. I have tried to extrude a hole from a circle and same deal; it will not let me extrude the circle.
I've got a template with a set of Object defaults for an Inch drawing and a set for a Metric drawing. I've just noticed that within my metric set, if I insert a hole table with tapped holes, the font on the tapped holes doesn't match the other hole types. I'm searched around, but all the settings for the hole table style reference the same text style. (Please see the attached image.)
So is there a way to set a certain hole type to have a certain font or size within a hole table? Because if there is, I'd obviously like to remove it..... But I can't seem to figure out where the issue is.
I am trying to add a hole to an existing hole chart. I drop the part into a new drawing, set the ordinate "zero", and add a hole chart by selecting a few holes. When I attempt to edit the chart: click chart, right click "edit", click add hole, select new holes, right click to create, the "create" selection is greyed out and all I have to choose from is cancel. I searched the forum here but could not find a reference to this a know issue. Am I doing something wrong or is this a glitch of 2013.
We are running win7 x64 machines and this happens on both the 2013 Ultimate and Premium editions of the product.
I have had this problem intermittently for a few weeks since going to Inventor 2013 SP1.1. I have a part within an assembly and that part has holes created in it before assembling it with other parts. Now when I try and create a hole table in a drawing of the assembly I cannot select hole edges and the hole table is blank when trying to create it automatically from view selection. I originally thought it may be an alignment issue but I have since aligned everything correctly and it still persists. I can create the hole table if I import in just the part into the drawing but it will not allow me to create the table on the whole assembly.
I can also create the hole table if I use "centred pattern" and create cross hairs on all of the holes however it does not give me correct annotations for the holes as shown in attachment and I can manually change the annotations but seriously this should not be required. As shown in the screen shot it reads as A1 down to K1 instead of A1 to A10. .
Question: Is it possible to control the Hole Dimensions called out on the Hole Chart? As in controling leading/trailing zeros for main hole dim, alt home dim and tolerances? Can you combine the Main Dim with the Alt dim in a single column, separated with parentheses? (same with tolerance?)
I would like to use the hole command to place a hole in a part. When I place the hole it won't allow me to use one of the origin planes to locate the hole from. Can I only locate holes off edges?
I have an assembly that contains a part and a hole feature (the hole feature is at the assembly level). Using the api, I'm trying to get the hole location relative to the part's coordinate system in a without using the holeplacementdefinition.distance property, this way I can get the hole location regardless of the way it was defined.
I do a lot of UI design and webdesign in Photoshop and as most people I like to apply a subtle noise here and there. I usually do it this way:
First I decide whether I want black or white noise. Secondly I create a new layer and fill it with opposite color. Then I choose Add Noise and apply 100% uniform monochromatic noise. In the end I choose between Multiply and Screen mode according to the noise I want and play around with opacity.
Now I am coding a website in HTML5 and CSS3, which allows me to recreate all elements without unnecessary images and workarounds, but I am not able to create appropriate texture to emulate the noise. For example black noise: I wanted to create the noise as I usually would, just skipping the Multiply blending mode part and rather trying to substitute white color with transparent (and accordingly for shades), meaning I will get document where some pixels would be 100% black, some would be 0% black, and the rest between. In CSS I would then repeat this over some element and change opacity accordingly.
I have been creating some images for e-mail marketing and would like to spice it up with some colored backgrounds. How do I make my images transparent without using polygon tool.
There 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.
i have a png image whit a blue backgroundif i select the background and press CANC photoshop ask me how i want to fill it, colour BG colour etc...why i can't just delete the BG and make it transparent?and another thing, when you have the 2 colour selection (on the left side) the white and the black square, is there a way to make the bottom square transparent? (i suppose is the grey square with a red line in it)
i have always wanted to know how to do this so that i can make better themes for my cell phone, ill try explain it the best i can i hope someone understands me.
Here is the theme creator for my phone, well im making one for my wife actually.....
see the red circled area thats the icon that will hover over your choice of selection. As you can see the properties are 91x69 I have found the perfect picture to hover over the menus, however if i just crop the picture 91x69 there will be some bacground image left... Code:
I basically want to remove all of the black background from the image so that the animated tesseract is all that remains. I know how to open the gif to expose the layers using ImaegeReady, then edit them in PhotoShop.
But when I made the black areas of each layer transparent (by selecting the RGB channel, inverting the selection, and hitting delete), saved a copy, and tried viewing it, it seems to just display all of the transparent layers constantly instead of cycling through them. Code:
I understand it is possible to make one colour transparent when you save a photoshop file for the web. This is useful to make objects appear to float over backgrounds on your web page.
My problem is that I don't know HOW to do this! When I save for web, I can't see how I select a colour to be transparent. If you set the background as transparent when you create your image, it just gets saved as a white background.
way to giveone side of an object another opacity then another side. There should also be a flow between the 2 opacity's. The only way I can think of is doing it "manualy": by cutting it in slices with different opacity or using the gum-tool with a low opacity...
What I want to do is make it seem as though an image is super-imposed on another. More specifically I'm trying to put someone's face on a guitar in a picture and had two layers:
1) The guitar
2) The persons face
if it's possible to make the persons face transparent enough(If at all) so it would appear on the guitar?
I'm having trouble making my image transparent. It's a simple .jpg, logo for our company. I tried "save as" and tried to save it as a .gif... and that didn't work.
