Photoshop :: Background Transparancy
Jan 13, 2009
I want to take a picture, and highlight the subject, in this case a flower, and make the background transparent. The suggestions I have found always tell me to do something that doesn't work. Like create a new layer and then drag it below the first layer, which it will not do.
The other has been to use the Magic Wand tool, highlight, and then hit the delete button. That doesn't work only puts another color in the BG.
The reason I am needing to do this, is that I cannot get the background in the picture to match the background on the page, in spite of putting in the exact same numbers!

I followed the below directions untill I got to: Modify->. But under that menu, "transparent Color" doesn't exist.
This is Version 9 ot the program. Anyone have experience with this?
1.Open or create the image you wish to add transparency to. Now, use the Eye Dropper tool to select the color from your image which will be used for the transparency (do this by right clicking on the portion of your image where the particular color is located).
2. Now, press CRTL+A to select all and then choose Selections->Modify->Transparent Color and set it to Background color and Tolerance 0.
3. Now go to Color->Decrease Color Depth->256 Colors and use the settings below:
1)Optimized Median Cut
2)Nearest Color
and click OK.
4. Next, go to Colors->Set Palette Transparency... see below and click ok (if you want to test the transparency, click the proof button).

Photoshop 7.0.
I have a problem with getting transparant backgrounds to work. I know they can be saved with .gif and .png files, but sadly that does me no good. What I'm trying to do is make an image that I can use with Littek's Talisman V2 (basically a windows shell). Anyways, the only file types I have access to is .bmp .jpg and .jpeg. I know this can be done because they have examples with images with transparent backgrounds, but they are saved as .bmp. Anyway, when I try to look at them with photoshop and GIMP all I see is the image with a hot pink background. I've also notice that icons and .exe file images also have transparant backgrounds and when viewed show hot pink.

I have a script that I am using but cannot figure out how to make the bottom reflection fade to transparancy. The image on the left is what comes out from the script & the image on the right shows how I want the reflection to fade into transparancy. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks! P.S. I'm a Photoshop n00b so please try to be simple in the instructions. EDIT: I forgot to mention that the image needs to remain at it's original 60px × 224px, the fade to transparency cannot change the image size.

I seem to be having problems when I lasso round a specific part of a photo taken with a white background and then try to add that part of the image to a plain #000000 black background.
I always seem to get a white outline around the image when I place it on the black background, even when its on ZERO feathered. I don't like using feathered as it adds a smudge round the outside of the image.

I have some text documents in PDF format and would like to edit it in photoshop CS5, but each time I open them up in photoshop, the background seems to be transparent (tiny grey and white tiles), which is very eye tiring when editing/annotating with a wacom pen, how to fill the background total white?

I recently saw on TV that someone had 2 nearly identical images - one with just the background, another one from exactly the same point of view featuring an object before the background.
He was then able to subtract the background so only the object in front remained. Is that possible with Photoshop as well? I have version CS3.

I am using my CS2 on OSX and when I view the image in a full screen mode the color around the image is grey, well it used to be grey but it is blue now. How do I change it back to neutral grey?

I was asked to cut out the background from a logo to make it transparent so the logo would look nice on a variety of backgrounds. I've been given a good quality jpeg file.
What I did was I selected (by colour) the background (white), inverted the selection, copied it and pasted as a new image.
It's all fine (the logo itself doesn't have any other elements) but there's still some whiteish/greyish outline around certain elements of the logo.
If I were to do it manually, it'd probably take ages. What would be the best way to accomplish it?

I want to change a 1920-1080 p background, into a 1920 - 1200 background.
I don't want to re-size it or lose image quality, the background for this can be easily replicated through some simple editing (drawing strait lines with the paint brush tool, and basically filling in to expand the background) Is there a way to do this? Here is the picture I want to change:
[URL].....
I just want it so that the pin-wheel design extends outward as to make the entire image 1920-1200, rather then the 1920-1080 it is now. (without losing image quality of the center wheel.)

Unless I hide it. I've never had an issue before with CS3 and CS4. When I clicked out of photoshop, i was in the program behind it.Â

I'm a bit new to this, I have a photo of my daughter and she has long hair and it's a bit wispy at times, what is the best way to extract her from the background, wispy hair and all.
I've tried extract but it didn't work very good. I don't mind if I have to buy another program to interact with PS to make it work.

Im on a MacBook Pro and I just installed Photoshop CS3. Its all fine n dandy, but the actual photoshop window bugs me. There is no background for the application. so if I'm working on something, switch to firefox to look at something, then switch back to photoshop I can still see the firefox window.
How can I add a background? I cannot stand this, It distracts my eye from the actual document.
I've look through the options and I cannot find anything, awhile ago I found some 3rd party mac software that added a background to any app, but I can't find it again.

I am creating an invitation for my wedding. All I am trying to do is place 2 images (family crests) on one page without them overlaping. I create a 'NEW' page with the U.S. Paper preset, then 'Place' one pic in the upper right, resize it to fill the top right corner, then 'Place' the other one in the bottom left and resize it to fill the bottom left corner. Problem is, the background of the second image overlaps the first one (white background). When I try to select the part that overlaps and cut it, it says I can't because it's a Smart Object. All I want to do is to be able to see the 1st image behind the second one. The images themselves would not overlap if they were transparent, just the white background of the images... I hope this makes sense... I need to be able to see-through the parts that overlap, since that area is just white background anyway!

The background color of new image is coming up tan, though 'white' is selected. I've seen a few posts on other sites about this but there isn't a clear solution.
I've created a new rgb doc and selected white as the background color. The background shows as tan though the color picker shows the white rgb code. The color picker is also not visually displaying white in the pallet.

Is it possible in Photoshop CS6, to make the tab background go away? I find the background box that you need to work in, gets in my way. I cant see the finder/desktop underneath it like I could in CS5.

how do you add to a layer from another layer, for instance, the background?
Â
There are TONS of explanations for how to take away from a layer or create a new layer (layer mask) but nothing on how to add to a layer once it's already made. I made this layer with the magic wand tool and now I simply need to add little bits in to the layer that the magic wand missed.

I have a picture of the sun behind a mountain, where I can see in black the mountain itself and then the colors of the sky. I have a larger background (I need it) and I need to transition the background so that it seems it is the same image as the sunset.
In other words, I expect that the background will not be completely black, but rather getting darker as I move away from the sunset, so that I will look like one larger picture. The image can explain it better.
