I was able to crop an oval image out of a square photo. However, the background of the rectangle in which the oval photo sits is "white". How do I make it "blank" or "clear"?
I need to use the image in MS-Word on a non-white background; I get a white rectangle with my oval image! I just want the oval.
I am creating a spray for a friend who plays counter strike and I want to make the background invisable so when people see it in the game it appears to be directly on the suface.
I have made an image which I am planning on using for my website's logo. Now it was a png at first but decided to go for a .gif in the end.
Yet when i save the image even though the layers I want to save only take up a very top part of my image (the other layers are there to template my website so I know how it looks)....
Because the image is 800x1000 yet the logo is much smaller than this.. when i save the layers which are put as visible from the layer window I get an image file which is 800 by 1000 in size and just the logo up the top.. below it is just blank see through nothingness but it is acting as if the image is there.
Kinda like: |----logo-----| blank blank blank blank |end of image|
I want it to just be only: |---logo----|
And nothing else. Is there a way to save just certain layers from the layers window?
I am working on a web image, and at the moment the image is finished, only it has a black background. Is there a way I can make it clear so that only the image shows up, wrather than the image and its background? The entire image is 1 layer right now, so the only way I know of to isolate the black is to use the magic wand tool,
This is the image, but the webpage has a grey background and so having that black boardering it really makes it look weird.
I'm having trouble saving my gif as a truly clear background image... i continue to get a white background around the image... like a line stroke. This is most obvious when I save for the web using image ready, but not as bad when perform a I save as gif function (thought it still happens). And of course, you don't see the line till you insert the image in a colored background.
The problem is my file doesn't downsize as sharp when I manually change the file size or transform it.
Same thing happens when I use Illistrator. I'm wondering if it is an outdated filter or something?
I'm trying to take pictures of some jewelry that i have so that i can put them on my website. I want to be able to have the image with a white background and show the shadows of the object, see the attached image for example. How do i go about creating such an image? I looked at other posts on removing backgrounds but these techniques were either too long, given the fact that i have over 100 items to work on, or didn't produce the "shadow" effect that i was looking for.
The first two images are what i'm looking for. The thrid is how one of my items currently looks like. I also tried taking pictures with a clear white or blue background but didn't know an effective way of removing the background.
creating text with a clear background. I need to be able to create text and then apply effects (emboss, diffuse, etc) and then save it as a gif or png with a clear background. Every time I try to emboss text it automatically changes the background of the entire image to the same solid color as the text.
I've been using Photoshop 7 for years and have some .png graphic elements with clear backgrounds, which I use to make cover photos for a Facebook page. When I open these graphic files with paint.net I expect to see two layers - one for the clear background and one for the graphic itself, but instead I see just one layer. If I then open a photo and try to paste the graphic overlay on top of it the clear background doesn't work, the checkerboard pattern is displayed instead.  is there a simple way to make these files work as they used to in Photoshop, i.e without going to the trouble of masking things off and clearing backgrounds all over again? Can they be opened in paint.net with the see-through background fully functional from the off?
This is my first data with GIMP and I would like to know how I remove an area of a photo and turn it clear and save it to a PNG?
In the attached photo you will see a fireplace, what I would like to do is to either lift the fireplace off the background. OR clear the background and just have the fireplace, then save it out as a PNG file.
I have made an A4 Flyer (but, will cut to 5 A6 flyer). The background is yellow, but, I just want this to be clear. I'm stuck and can't seem to make it clear.
I just started loading up photoshop to crop a picture and my magic wand tool has gone all funny. i don't know why but instead of cropping all the white back ground it does this [URL] ........
If I covert a font or shaped image under Bitmaps=>Convert to Bitmaps, I get a white solid background. In Corel x5 this would be a clear background. Also I can no longer Cover to Bitmap a photo then open with bitmap editor to create rectangles or ovals with clear faded edges. These are items I use all the time. How do I achieve this now. Also x6 will not save in x5 version. It will warn me of potencial problems then fail.
That's the program that came packaged with ancient windows versions.
(What I don't like about paint.net is the missing "show grid" option available in any zoomed size, but anyway back to my problem).
I'm making a product flyer (8.5 X11) for our store and we will pass them around the towns in my area. I will take pictures of the products with my camera and up load them into paint.net. The picture will need to be downsized to approx 1 X 2in, so dithering will be needed to get the same quality has the original. Now downsized, I will need get rid of the photo session backdrop, then create a new canvas of the flyer and paste them in without the background.
How to crop free hand? That is zoom in the picture and using the pencil option define the boarder of the wanted image, then define outside of it has transparent? Or any other method tom achieve the same results.
whenever I make a GIF in Photoshop, it becomes very pixelated and unclear. This is what l do to make a gif:  Step 1: Make GIF Layers Step 2: Open Animation Window Step 3: Select 'Make Animation from Layers' Step 4: Save as GIF  If you can tell me some nice settings, that would be perfect.Â
I'm working on a document and can't get text to appear clearly. It's certainly readable and not a big problem but how can I get text in photoshop to appear more like plain text on a webpage does?
The font is Arial and I'm trying different sizes along with switching from Crisp to Sharp with no luck.
By pressing Alt+Delete a layer is filled with the foreground color - right? How do I get rid of this fill i.e. clear the layer to transparency? There must be some other way than backing in the history pallet.
One user can not print from Photoshop CC. I have test other users from the same computer and they can print.I use Windows 7 Ultimate and SBS 2011. Â Is there a way to clear all Photoshop CC from a user profile? it must be the first try. Any other user related problem with printing in Photoshop?
Clearing anchor point so that it's cuts the path line also to the next anchor (like point to point, cuts segment of path) not the whole path. Â Sometimes it works using delete or backspace But no clue why does not always work ?
In the attached image, you'll see that the car windshield has a frosted effect from the background of this image before I made the selection. How can I make it clear instead of gray?
I have a number of circuit boards to put on our website and I decrease in size and the photos never look that great. I use the save for web setting in PS, but was wondering if there was perhaps I should customize when I get there to increase clarity. That is what it looks like when I decrease in size.
I am completely new to Photoshop, and just learning a few things from the tutorial.how to clear the text from a photo or maybe a certain layer.
For example: I have edited a photo using mspaint by adding some brush strokes with differet color. Saved it as a JPEG. Is is possible for me to clear the part of that I edited using mspaint and get the original picture back?
I just bought the PHOTOSHOP CS4, and I am having problem when it prints. The image is not clear, it has dots (pixels). This computer where I installed this program is brand new. I have previously worked with Photoshop CS2 and never had an issue but was force to buy this new one because the computer that I bought has Windows Vista and CS2 is not compatible. I thought maybe the problem was my printer but is not I have a Brother HL-5140 (black and white). I have connected my old computer with the printer and the images print perfectly fine. I have printed photos and it prints clear. But this only happens with Photoshop CS4. It prints dots.
i have this pic and its very blurry i tried to sharpen it but it came out looking a bit worse lol...is there anyway to make the picture look more clear ?
I'm a GIS tech for a nonprofit and it would be really beneficial if I could make projections of how old clear cuts could look after being tapered and so many years regrowth.
PS is a hobby of mine, but I can't really think of a way to do this outside of regular cut and paste (which looks pretty lame). So I need to be able to:
1. turn the straight clear cut lines into more natural looking tree growth patterns 2. add trees where there currently are none
When I use any marking tool (Pencil, eraser, everything except pen, text, and gradient) the results are totally clear. YES, my opacity is on 100 percent. My color is black. But nothing seems to happen to my work when I try to scribble with the brush over it. The eraser doesn't erase. Et cetera.
Photoshop seems to think it does, though. I can 'undo' any completely invisible marks I have made.
I've reset photoshop to factory settings, and it's still doing this.
I have a logo that was designed in ps 7 but i do like the way it looks, it's blurry. how do i make it clear? I wish I could attach it here but it says I may not attach files-- why?
