View 1 Replies View Relatedany difference between alpha layer and alpha channel? I mean has to be right? I just don't know what exactly that would be if there is. I'm trying to figure out some more stable uses for computer graphics when building textures with alpha layer or alpha channels. So far I get a flicker from opengl bug when using alphas. So I'm wondering if I use Alpha layer and something with a solid color underneath the geometry if I could achieve a more stable result where alpha sorting. Possibly clearing it up where my alpha layered geometry stays on top vs bleeding through at times it seems.

I use Photoshop CS2 and CS4, and CorelDraw 12 and X4.
In CS2 I can open tiffs exported from CorelDraw 12 and X4 without problems.
In CS4 I can open tiffs, exported from CorelDraw 12, but cannot open those from X4.
I've tried various settings for tif export in corel - no compression, LZW compression, with & without applying ICC profile, RGB & CMYK color, etc... The result is always the same.
On other computer the things are the same, but the error message is different: "Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered".
I am using CS4 when I slice an image and go to File > Save For Web & Devices and I save it, it doesn't save the HTML file just the image slices.

View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently, whenever I "Save for Web", the resulting images appear to be tinted (i.e. the colors are not the same as they appear in Photoshop). This applies to both GIFs and JPEGs. However, when I load the saved GIF or JPEG in Photoshop, the colors look just like the original PSD. I have tried saving with "Standard Windows Color", "Uncompensated Color", "Standard Mac Color", and "Document Color Profile", but there does not appear to be any difference between any of the above when the file is viewed outside of Photoshop. I have had Photoshop for some time and I never encountered this issue before. Did I change something in my settings by mistake?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a design in PS CS4 and want to export slices for the web. In the export preview the estimated filesize for the slice is ~200 bytes, however after the export the file size is 4kb.
I have 3-4 small background slices with gradinet and size is 1x200px so the estimated size seems to be ok.
I have alos tried to export in .png and in .gif as well. In all cases the estimation is 200-400 bytes but the result is always ~4kb.
I want to fade a background texture so that it isn't so bold. In Flash I would do this with the alpha controls, but I Googled alpha for photoshop and it wasn't what I was looking for. I've tried playing with the partially transparent gradient, using mulitple layers, but I'm not getting the desire results.

I have used an alpha channel to create some quite impressive weathering/scratches on a scratch drawn metallic background. My issue is that this image has been created for use on the internet and I cannot for the life of me find a way to save the image in a web friendly format and retain the scratches. Is there a particular way to merge this image as if I were merging layers to retain the scratches on the final JPEG? It may be something simple as can be but for the life of me it is STUMPING me.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having the hardest time trying to get an flv with transparency.
I have a series of numbered photoshop files. Each file contains one partially transparent layer (no mask), and when I open the files as an image sequence, the transparency looks good. However, when I export to FLV with Alpha enabled, my FLV doesn't seem to have an alpha channel.
I created alpha masks in "Channels" , when I click "Layers" tab I can see the effect
but when I try to save that image for web I see that mask was not applied.
So my question is:
How do I actually apply the mask created in Alha Channel.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created two masks with channels to use on an image. Now I want to combine the two channel masks into one to use. I made a new layer in channels of the composite masks which gave me an Alpha channel. The Alpha channels show the solid black paint lines where I filled in the selection voids. These solid lines affected the adjustment layers so I ended up doing some erasing at 50%. Not the shortest workflow direction. How can I combine two channel masks (selections) into a common selection and save as a new Channel?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI created an alpha channel with marquee tool on a colored backgound, by using "select > save selection", the alpha channel appeared at the bottom of the channel palette. I know the white part should represents transparency and the black part is opaque. But when I import this into the Adobe premiere6.5, the thing is reversed, I have to use "alpha channel" plus "reverse" option to get what I want - see through the "white" part. I heard there is an option in the photoshop with which you can define whether you want "white" is transparent,black is opaque or vice versa,

how can i apply the alpha channel to the original to get all the green stains out?
I have an image that I want to have an alpha channel even though it isn't used at all. Even if I save the image with transparency flag in "Save for web" (as PNG), Photoshop doesn't include the alpha channel with image because it's not been used. Is there a way I can overcome this (other than adding a single transparent pixel to image or using another program)?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am currently making a skin for a boat, for a game called virtual skipper. Anyway I am doing this in PS Elements 7.0. I need to add alpha layers/channels to make the sails slightly transparent, or not transparent. I can't seem to find anything that tells you how to do this in Elements. So I assume it is not possible, or no one has done it before. So if anyone can help me with this, please do. I have made an adjustment layer and added white 80% transparent, over the sail layers. But when I save this as .DDS will the white adjustment layer dissapear like an alpha layer and leave semi-transparent sails or will it come out as it looks?

View 3 Replies View Relatedwork in broadcast and a new piece of gear prefers png files. I know how to save png's with a transparency, that's not the problem. What I don't know how to do or if it's possible is to save them with a straight or fat alpha. Right now we feather or extend the edges out past the alpha of say a logo and save it as a tif, psd or .tga. That way once it's keyed over video or whatever, the edges look good, no black bad edging.. But switching to png files, how to make a straight or fat alpha since it sees transparency. I mean if I feathered out the edges, a png will see that correct, since there's no alpha?

View 5 Replies View RelatedOnce I create an alpha channel, how do I edit it? I have tried selecting and clicking the alpha channel, and then using the paintbrush tool. I understand that if I have a white foreground, painting should remove some of the mask, while a black background should result in the painting adding to the mask. But often nothing seems to happen when I paint. Or, at other times, the painting results in paint marks on my image but doesn't affect the "marching ants" and therefore doesn't affect the mask. I have already checked that my K setting in Color is at 0 for white and 100 for black. Using CS5 version 13.0 x64 with Windows 7.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a project that requires a watercolor illustration to merge with a colored (imaged) background, so I need the white of the illustration to drop out. This isn't a Magic Wand, Select Color Range, or any 'selection' issue like that. I need a sophisticated color-to-alpha plugin that will render the white (or any color, I suppose), to transparent. Needs to be Mac compatible... seen some for Windows, but can't use them.
