How do you this 'star burst' tutorial but have transparent backgrounds when finished

I've been playing with this tutorial and have a very fun project to apply it to, but I really need transparent background so I can use it on two different backgrounds.  I tried just by selecting the background and capture out them, but can't figure out how to stop the gradient layer on top to fill the background. I also tried just flattening and cutting.  Really none of these solution do all that look at the water.  Is there another way to do this tutorial or how to do not have a background in the end?  I use Adobe Photoshop CS4, thanks.

Don't be fooled by the lines of the Ant.  They really don't tell you what is selected.  You don't want the entire layer selected!  If the white area is low. You can duplicate the layer and apply the screen mode to layer on top to brighten it.  You must have to ctrl - click once on the channel for your selection.  Once you have your selection and are ready to fill the empty layer, you can fill it several times to build up density or duplicate the layer some time to accumulate density.  Yes, you will need a black background or some other bg when finished.

  • Hi, I have a bunch of programs on my desktop I want to put in my Start menu. Someone has any idea how to do this? In addition, I have Windows 8

    I have shortcuts to programs on my desktop I want to put in my windows menu start. I looked and there was no possibility to add to the start menu. Does anyone have an idea how to do this? Thank you

    Copy the shortcut "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start start\program"

    This will place the program on the screen of "All Apps". From there you can right click the icon and the Pin-to-Start

    ProgramData is a hidden folder, click the view tab in the file Explorer, and check the "Hidden items" box if you do not see.

  • How do you text opaque while the div is transparent?

    I put my body to have a background image.

    I inserted a div which has also a background image.

    I want the div be transparent... but the text to be opaque, NOT transparent.

    I tested it using the following css:

    {#holder}
    background-image: url (background2.jpg);
    Width: 900px;
    margin-right: auto;
    left margin: auto;
    height: 1000px;
    filter: Alpha (Opacity = 60);


    {body
    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-image: url(Lapel-Back%203.jpg);
    }

    How can I maintain the transparency in the div and have even normal text looking for...

    the following link is an example of transparency with the text works correctly

    Thank you

    They use the best method to achieve the effect in my opinion, a semi-transparent background image. Just create the image in Photoshop/Fireworks and then export it as a 32-bit PNG.

  • set a white with black text - preview ok - but only black background when it is associated with

    HI - sorry, I'm a complete newbie to AE.  I just got Adobe Creative cloud the full package and this is the best Christmas present ever!

    So were used first in the past, but never really made any progress with AE... I can see now that it is really awesome and I seriously need to make online training videos.  I started with one showing how do text typewriter and it worked well - I did it on a layer of text in black with white text, but I have one really looking for a title as old movies of espionage with the teletype type police black white effect paper securities courier.  So I change my background white and the black police, and it looks good in the preview, but when I connect my PP project, now it's all black, looks like the background has not really changed to white, even if she looks at it in the preview.  I made and I get the same, all black, so I guess I did something wrong in AE and not PP.  Again, I would be normally try myself understand this, but have not had much luck so could use a push if anyone cares to help.

    Thank you

    Bill

    You will eat your words and perhaps eventually reconsider your relationship with the person who gave you this 'gift '.

    The bottom of a project of EI is not one substance, other than for viewing purposes in AE. There not really, even if you see it as a defined color.

    You need to do in order to make black text on a white background, is to create a "bottom" of the color of your choice.

    Create a new layer which is a solid and don't forget to color it as you like, as you create it. It's ridiculous the process to change later, if you want to get this right because you create.

    Then place your text above this layer layer in the timeline. And make out. This should give you what you're trying to reach.

  • How to make a transparent background when editing

    Hello

    I was wondering how to get a transparent background in flash.  I did a lot of research and have seen many forums, but I don't want my file to export to HTML.  Is it possible to have a transparent background, with some having to have a HTML file?  I try this enter into Camtasia Studio, but there is a white rectangle behind the animation, blocking all the rest.

    Thank you

    Orion31

    You export a video to enter in Camtasia? If, therefore, in the export options video there is a checkbox to say to ignore the color of the scene and to generate an alpha channel. Don't say to compress the video in Adobe Media Encoder, just take the MOV file in Camtasia.

    If you say that Camtasia supports importing of SWF files, then it would be Camtasia to make the background transparent.

  • How to flatten an image in Photoshop, with a transparent background?

    Hello!  I am trying to flatten an image in Photoshop while keeping my transparent background.  When I flattened, it gives me that white background instead.  Someone has posted this, "thank you for the help. I seemed to think about it. I've done > merge all visible layers (except for the background layer), > command and click on the layer you want to select all > flatten image > command j > deselect > then delete the layer to flatten. This gave me the background transparent I was looking for. "but it did not help me.  Help, please!

    You want to merge the layers, not flatten - as mentioned in your original post.

    Flattening is supposed to get rid of transparency.

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me. I am trying to copy and paste or drag an object from Photoshop to Illustrator, but I need to have a transparent background.

    For example, I chose a flower of an image, I took and deleted so just the background, that the flower remained. I changed the background transparent. It seems transparent in photoshop, but when I copy the flower and paste into illustrator there is a white box around the flower.

    Or, I have brushes that for photoshop, I downloaded and want to use the brush as an object and use it in illustrator. I have a transparent background in photoshop and the brush stroke is on a transparent layer, but when I drag in illustrator the white background appears again.

    Thank you for your help in advance.

  • How can you save Pdf as spreads, but when someone's looking for a page number, that it does not spread?

    Hi, I need to make the pdf which was recorded as spreads (from Indesign) so that when you navigate to a page in Acrobat, you go to the page number not the number of propagation for example if you search for page 5 do not you on page 8-9, which is the 5th spread , y at - it a setting or even a script that I can add to my pdf?

    I'm sorry, but it is not possible with a script, either. A possible solution would be to divide the "spreads" of two physical pages and set the option to display the file view two pages at a time. This way, if the user has entered a number of page they will see any spread.

  • How can you "Bring object to Front" (but not to the end!) in AS3?

    1. imagine a swf file that shows an image (the image is a music video btw).

    2. now imagine three objects behind which frame (each are video clips).

    3. I use the ' object bring forward the "code snippit of each have three objects come forward when you click it.

    Question: How can I do so that the objects do not go in front of the image?

    P.S. I'm super new to AS3, so feel free to talk to me like I'm a child of five. I'm not offended.

    / * Wear any object clicked forward

    By clicking on any symbol on the stage posing in front of all other cases.

    */

    This code makes all occurrences of symbol on the clickable scene by listening for the CLICK event.

    for (var fl_ChildIndex:int = 0;

    fl_ChildIndex<>

    fl_ChildIndex ++)

    {

    this.getChildAt (fl_ChildIndex) .addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToBringToFront);

    }

    This is the function that moves the selected object to the front of the display list

    function fl_ClickToBringToFront(event:MouseEvent):void

    {

    this.addChild (event.currentTarget as DisplayObject);

    this.addChild (yourpictureframe);
