Photoshop :: How To Resize Png And Keeping Bg Transparent?
Dec 3, 2006
i have a png picture with no ground 256 x 256
i tried to make dimensions 16x16 and keeping the bg transparent with ImageReady, and did save optimized as > then saved it png but the resolution was very bad, and the background was white not transparent.
I have several different png files, each with a shape on a transparent background (for example a white square). So for example one has the square in the upper left corner, one has it in the lower right corner. When I copy and paste each separate file into a new file, each in a separate layer, each shape appears exactly where it is supposed to be. There are NO extra or hidden pixels. SO I have one file with two layers, each from the different png files, and the squares do not show up in the middle, but in the places where they are supposed to be.
When I tried to create my own (I use Photoshop CS2), when I copy and paste, the shape appears in the center unless I put an imaginary or hidden pixel in the opposite corner (and even then, the shape doesn't appear EXACTLY where I want it and is off a few pixels).
These separate files can do the same thing in all different programs (paint shop pro, photoshop elements, etc.). SO that no matter what program you use, when you copy each png file and paste it in a new file, it is placed where it is supposed to be rather than in the center.
HOW did they do it? Again, there are no extra or hidden pixels in the opposite corner.
I'm interested in doing a non-destructive "resize" of an image, whereby only the transparent pixels are traditionally resized and the non-transparent pixels remain the same size (but move relative to the resized transparent pixels).
As an example, imagine an image that consists of stars on a transparent background. If we were to do the above to this image, the physical space taken up by the image would increase (due to the resizing of the transparent pixels), but the stars themselves would remain the same size. In short, the stars would appear to spread out to fill more space.

I have this file and its a transparent GIF. If I resize the image and export it as a transparnet GIF and then I look at it there is a small white line all around the border. But if i save it as the orginal size and export it the same way there is no line ....
It has come to my attention that the new drag-resize feature only changes the master diameter of the brush but leaves the dual-brush diameter intact. It is the only shortcut that does this resizing improperly.
I would like to know if everyone else experiences the same problem. Is it a bug or is this way of resizing intended?
I mainly do digital paintings and this small bug makes the feature useless for me. I hope that it will be fixed at least in cs5.
In previous versions I have been able to resize the canvas and then resize the image. For example resize the canvas to 250px x 250 px. Then resize the image to the same.
Here is the process I am using:
Duplicate the layer and then hide it. Resize the canvas (Image > Canvas Size) to 250px x 250 px. Un-hide the layer and then resize the image (Image > Image Size). When I go into Image>Image Size it says that the image is already 250px x 250px. However if I try to transform the scale the image is the original size and not 250px x 250px
The reason for needing this is I resize image size (in bulk) and the canvas size using the batch process (file>automate>batch) and actions. I loaded the actions file I used in previous versions, but that did not work correctly. I then went in to do this manually and got the same results.
I have just been trying to resize some images on the latest version - 3.510.4297.28964 - and I have typed the measurements that I wanted into the print size fields on the resize dialogue. The actual sizes the program resizes the images to differ though - some look to be about right, whereas some come out much larger, but they all show the dimensions that I inserted in the canvas size box. I'm sure I've done this before and this hasn't happened?
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.
Is there an easy way to level out a horizon? PaintSHop Pro has a feature where you put a line on something in your photo that is slanted b crops it) accordingly. I seem to remember PS has this feature--but I can't find it.
Working in raw, I have made changes to exposurre etc. when I save to jpeg they go lighter. I have looked in the colour settings which are set the same as the camera at sRGB but not sure if I a missing something.
I have recently upgraded from CS4 to CS6, wasn't a problem in CS4, I have looked at the settings in both to try to get them the same but nothing is working.
Here in the office we have CS4, CS5, and CS6. CS4 and CS6 work fine but in CS5, If we set an image resolution then crop the image it will not keep the resolution we set.
We have tried the resample image on and off. We have tried it with and without a background and nothing seems to work. Is there is special setting in CS5? As I said no issues with 4 & 6.
This is an interesting question. As most of your probably know, Filebrowser is kind of an app with an app. You can open a RAW camera file and set all the parameters for conversion, then update the file without opening it by choosing the alt (PC) or option (Mac) key. This changes the convert box to update.
A friend of mine, also a photographer, applied color corrections to an entire wedding using Filebrowser and updating his RAW files. He then burned a DVD of the RAW files and sent it to his lab. They converted his files and posted a web gallery. He then noticed that the files were horrible! All the conversion settings were not retained with the RAW files.
I have always assumed that any updated conversion information was stored in the EXIF information of the RAW file. Now I'm beginning to wonder if it's stored in the Filebrowser cache or meta information. If this is the case, then which files need to be kept with the RAW files when you transfer them to another computer? Can this be accomplished?
I want to backup my "Photoshop Elements 3.0" Settings and "My Catalog".....
I am using Windows XP SP2.......
But what I don't want to do is to copy my all photographs (which are in the organizer and tagged and are about 7 GB in Size) to removable media..........As I have them on a separate Drive and they are Safe......
which Files do I have to save to Keep my existing settings.......in my new windows........
using PS 5 But I do a lot of printing onto paper that is not 8 1/2 x 11. So I go into Document Setup/ Print Setup and specify my paper size and all is well. But the next time I want to print the image I have to go in and do it all over again. Isn't there some way of making my print size stick?
I'm a programmer and used to using version control software for storing source code. The version control software running on a server is used to keep tracking of every single change (history) that is done to files, provides a repository for multiple users to work from and someways a backup.
I have a large number of sporting photos (both RAW and JPG versions) that need to be cropped to zoom in on player and eventually saved as JPEGs on CD, that can later be printed as 8 X10's by player parents.
When I crop the jpeg (setting 8 X 10 and resolution not filled in) I get a resolution around 150 , too low for printing. I know if I fill in resolution too , PS will use Resample Image and but I will get a somewhat degraded picture at 8 X 10. Is there a way to use the RAW version of the photos, (since they are not compressed), be able to crop and still save at a printable resolution, without using Resample.
when you do a FILE > OPEN and the image comes up, it is contained in the DOCUMENT WINDOW, no?
I noticed that if you press CTRL and + you zoom in, and CTL and - then you zoom out. But the document window seems to ignore the palettes on the right hand side of the application.
Is there any way to make Photoshop not extend the document window so that it resides partially behind the palettes?
I notice that if you press CTRL + ALT and + then you zoom in WITHOUT modifying your document window (same for CTRL + ALT and -) , but I cannot see how to remap CTRL and + to what CTRL+ALT and + does.
This is most likely a stupid question but it has had me stumped for a while... Every time I close an image the eyedropper tool pops back to the top. What do I have to do to keep the measure tool on top?
Using CS4, I want to keep a logo (rasterized) with its caption (text) on the SAME LAYER.... I know I can LINK the 2 layers, so if one moves the other moves too, but how do I combine them without rasterizing the text?
I'm using Photoshop CS6 on Windows 7 with a dual monitor setup. In a prior version, it was the case that multiple open photos could stay in the application frame, such that moving the frame would move all open photos with it, but without using tabs/partitions, which I dislike. Is there no longer a way to configure it this way? I've experimented with "Enable Floating Document Window Docking" and "Open Documents as Tabs", but they aren't doing the trick.
I'm often juggling several applications, and regularly find it convenient to move things from one monitor to the other based on what specific task I'm doing. I know tabs are one "solution", but are inefficient and impractical in my experience. The images I work with typically start very large and get resized/cropped during editing for use in email and the web. Consequently, I have open a mix of very large and small pictures, some portrait and some landscape. Using tabs or multi-up partitions, I can either view only the image I'm working on or some fixed number of images in a fixed (though adjustable) layout. In the latter case, I can usually only see a small portion of the large photos unless I manually resize them based on the current partition size, which changes based on what else I'm currently working on. If I choose to have one "Fit on screen", it's resized based on the full screen size, not the partition the image is in, so again I'm only able to see a portion of a large image. Smaller pictures end up with wasted space within their partitions.
This is my original drawing in Photoshop CS5 for Windows:My goal is to quickly center two objects while keeping one of them (blue rectangle in my example) in place:
If I follow the standard procedure (select both objects, align vertical and horizontal centers), both objects are moved to the center of the drawing:So the blue square has lost it's original position which is not good.
I was under the impression that the rulers across the top and bottom of the canvas were measuring the length and width of the window at the given resolution.
However, this can't be the case, because I notice that when I crop a photo down from a width of 70 to a width of 20 on the ruler, when the crop finishes, the width of the canvas is back to looking like 70, so the ruler is not absolute, but some kind of relative measure? And is there a way to get an absolute ruler either of any unit?
Photoshop is new to me. I like to paint locomotives for a game, but am wondering how to change the colors from blue to black and keep all the shading and door details. When I use the paint brush I can never seem to get the side panels into the correct color without losing a lot of detail.
I need to import some vector EPS barcodes into PS7 and then export the document as a PDF but keep the type and the barcodes as vector information. How can I do this?
I need to use the radial blur on numerous layers with the same preset for zoom location. Once photoshop is closed, I have to relocate the zoom center. I've tried making a action to store the setting, a smart filter, and even using scriptlistener, but nothing will hole the zoom location. I doubt there is anything I can do, but Adobe should fix this bug or flaw.
Can anyone teach/help me to remove the foreground. But once i remove the foreground then i have to see the background.
for example see the attached picture.I want to remove the man who is in sitting.once i remove i have to see the clounds. Please teach me this in step by step as im new to photoshop cs2 v 9.0
I love taking landscape photos and i am interested in turning them into black and white images. No problem with that bit, i then want to make the black and white more intense, i realise this will be difficult with the black but i want the white to be, i don't know slightly more silver i suppose, more haunting......am i making sense, lol.
I would also like to keep some color from the original image, maybe have a tree with just a faint coloring from the original or a stream with just a hint of the original blue.
I don't know how to transfer the original color to the black and white copy, is it done with a mask?.
