I notice the tranparent background flashing intermittently when I zoom or use any of the functions like layers, levels etc. I am using a new Win 8 system and have updated both photoshop CS6 and my video card drivers.
View 2 RepliesI've got an image of a guy in mid-air, halfway through a lay up (actually, the model was standing on a table, but that's neither here nor there!)
I separated him from the background, so the only thing I have is the model and the net on a black background, as if the image was a close-up photo. What I'd really like to do is add camera flashes to the background, so it looks like there's a huge crowd snapping pictures of the layup.
I've attached a small version of the picture so you'll have a better idea what I'm talking about.
I'm new to CS6 and WIN8. When I Open an image from ACR in 16-bit TIFF and select a tool in Image>Adjustment and begin processing, the background changes from gray to a flashing white checkerboard pattern and the images disappears. What have I missed in the setup?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI often drop many pictures onto a background picture. Before dropping them in I isolate the relevant parts using the background eraser. Then drop the photo in. In all my other versions (I'm using v 6 now) the sections that were erased on the pics were transparent such that the photo they were dropped into showed through.
Now the erased sections of the pics I drop in are not transparent but have a solid color.
Where is the setting?
I have a red block and on that block I have some lines which I have in white but they need to be transparent as this design is going to be printed on tshirts of different colours and the colour of the tshirt must show through the transparent lines. Im not sure how to make them transparent though, when I convert the white to tranparent you see only the red.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWindows, PS CS4. I'm trying to erase part of an image such that there is nothing there. However, when I erase the part of the background layer (I have no layers below it, and none above occupying the same space), I do not see the chequered transparency pattern, but dark grey. This grey also remains part of the image as if it were a colour rather than being transparent. To be specific, it is the white between the borders of a comic I am trying to erase..
View 8 Replies View Relatedi have an image which is a large scanned hand-drawn housing layout, simply black pen outlines on a white background.
is there a way i can automatically turn the whole white background into transparent? i know how to use background eraser, but it would take me about a week to manually go round the whole image picking out the white bits.
Retain Transparency and Set Background Layer with PNG-24 Files
Whenever Flickr converts a PNG-24 file to a JPG, the transparent background of the multilevel PNG gets converted to black. I do not want this. I want PNG-24 file to retain its transparency and have a background color set for handling JPG conversion.
I heard this can be done by creating a 100 percent transparent white layer, setting it as the background layer, and flattening the image.
How do I do this with Photoshop CS3?
am currently working on a Flash site which is relying quite heavily on images with transparency.
my method has been to create PS3 images, save as TIFF, preserve transparency, and then import into Flash. However sometimes when I go to save, I do not get the TIFF options dialogue box, and when this happens Flash cannot import the image.
I found this quote on another post which might be related, but I do not know enough about photoshop to understand it!:
"Keep in mind that before you will have a transparency option when saving, you need to have either a clipping path or an alpha channel saved with the transparency info in it. (aka a mask)"
is this what I am not doing, and if so, how do create a clipping path or alpha channel to save my transparency info 'in'?
At the moment I seem to be able to get around the problem by opening a new image, dragging the layer into that, and then saving. but it's a pain in the arse and for some of them, I need to preserve the position of a layer more accurately...
In Photoshop CS4 the paint deposited by a brushstroke by a Wacom Intuos3 pen tool intermittently and unpredictably just stops mid-stroke after some while of a continuos stroke. This is a real problem when making simulated watercolor washes because these require a continuos application of paint using a brush with Wet Edges. When the paint just stops and the pen tool is removed from contact and then re-contacted, the paint starts again but now the new brushstroke sits on top of the old stroke and does not merge into it (as you want with a watercolor wash).
No brush controls are set to Fade and in any case the ink-stopping happens well into the continuos stroke - much later than a Fade control would affect it.
I'd be grateful for advice on how to stop this happening, please. Why is the paint flow just stopping? Is this a known problem with CS4?
CS4 is fine in other respects.

I've just landed some contract work where I will design glass forms/containers and render realistically. Also, I need to retain transparency so I change backgrounds.
I'm more adept with Photoshop than Illustrator, but would like input on who likes which program for this task, why, and where I can find excellent tutorials before I start spending my tutorials dollars.
How is it possible, to take the brightness of every pixel from the background, and transfer that to the upper layers transparency. (The upper layer is for example all blue). As I said before, I know that this works. I tried everything out and asked Google a lot of times, but I just can´t figure it out.
What I can remember doing there was just take the blue layer and transfer it to another picture. I was wondering because i didn´t do anything special.
I was editing some .png s that are transparent other than the picture itself in the middle, what i would do is edit it and save it and it would keep the transparent/invisible background thing. Now when i save the png it automatically makes the background white, i go through and erase all the white but it is regenerated when i save the png again. i dont think i changed any settings, what do i do?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSpecifically when I lasso a section of a screenshot and move it, I would like to leave behind a chosen background color in its place. This was easy in Paintshop but I can't figure out how to do it here. Instead, I seem to have to grab another selection, copy it and put it over the transparent part. Simple enough to do but cludgy. Looked at the manuals and couldn't find a mention.

If I flatten the transparency both sides of the gradient object looks like it's on a white background.
If I print it there's no difference.

How to add color to transparency background?
View 13 Replies View RelatedSuddenly when I save an object in Illustrator and import it into Indesign, I have a white background. How do I save to preserve the background transparency?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have three different solid object and all those three have different masks and stroke effects in them.
The problem is, the one at the top always reign and doesnt let other stroke effects on masks to appear. I reckon the problem is the background of the solid object. If this is the problem, how can I change the transparency of the background. If not, what might the problem be ?
I have been creating PNG's with transparent backgrounds forever, but now I need one with a transparent background AND a partial transparency area for a glow effect. Draw X3?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis is probably super simple. I do a lot of transparency stuff for the Web. My background color for the most part turns out to be black. I get my transparency but the program I'm using at the moment does a cleaner job with white. When it's black I see a little trash of black around the edge of the graphic. In the past I've come up with white quite by accident and it was clean as a whistle. I'm exporting as PNG, True Color + Alpha.

(2) Is there a fix for the hinge from edge planned? As it is now and was reported on in 2011, if I use this function on a selected polygon model in face mode, and complete the hinge from edge, then if I select another polygon without going out of polygon mode and choose hinge from edge, the previously selected edge is in Max's memory and I have to go to wire frame mode just to be able to see the edge I want to select.
I have followed this tutorial [URL] To delete the background which is white in this case. The area was selected with fuzzy tools, then transparency added. Deleted background. All worked well. Problem is, saving as a jpg will not include a white background, which I DO not want.
I want to import this image into Inkscape, and have the background on my business card to show up to the edge of the jpg image I have on the card.
So what can I save this image that had its background deleted into another format that does NOT add white as a background and imported into Inkscape?
is it possible to make an animation with a transparency background?
I looks so...but when i do it...the gradient shows color to black in stead of transparency...?
I when i import it in muse...i see also that edge design has a white background ( instead of the transparency that i like to want..)
I have been getting an immense number to images lately that have that wonderful white background.
I simply use the masking tools and cut/paste back into Draw to get a transparent background, but it is time consuming.
Any way to do this with Replace Colors?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have imported a number of raster images into a drawing and wish to turn the "blank" bits transparent. I can set them all to "Background transparency = YES" in the Properties bar, but as far as I can see I need to go through each one individually to set the relevant transparency color, since as soon as I select more than one tile the "Transparency color" tab disappears.
Is there a way to do a multiple select as the "blank" color is the same for all the tiles? I'm planning to use a lot of tiles and this will be incredibly laborious and inefficient otherwise. I am using Map 3D 2011.
Where is the option to get rid of the transparency/checkerboard background that displays on my Artboards in CS6?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI using a trial version of CS 6 on windows 8 pro. I keep getting flashing in the work space / background when I zoom or move an image around (only some images not all). When I zoom or move an image around the background changes from transparent to various shades of gray to black. I was getting it with selections but after making some changes in Catalyst I fixed it. I have the latest driver for my card. I won't purchase it until this issue is resolved. I see many others have the same issue. It's been a long time since CS6 came out and I'm concerned this won't be fixed. I can just continue to use an older version if need be. I don't want to have to buy another video card just to use PS CS6 properly. If I turn off "Use Graphics Card" it seems fine.This card works fine with other versions so what had changed. At $700 I expect to be able to use it with my video card (AMD Radeon HD 6450) which is not too old.
